Not surprising anymore. Kid is a beast.
Alford, Urena, Tellez, SRF... I think all 4 of those prospects are elite.
Thole signed, Travis optioned to the minors
Huh...
I assume this means Thole was actually signed last night and Travis was optioned to make room for him, then they can call him back up in time for tomorrow's game?

Maybe this was discussed already, but on the radio I kept on hearing the idea being floated around that Boston should want to sign Thole (obviously its too late now) to mess with us and to have a KB catcher. Why didn't they? It seems like a extremely low risk move....

I find the Thole re-signing kind of strange.
Because they did it today, he's not eligible for the playoffs.
What happens if Martin or Dioner get hurt between now and the post-season?
Why not get it done yesterday and maintain his playoff eligibility?
Obviously, with no injuries, Thole is not on the playoff roster. But if something happens, at least he's been on the roster all season and has been working with the pitchers.

Pompey, Tepera, Barnes, Dermody with Loup and Schultz to follow are your September call ups.

Most likely one of the bull pen guys goes back down once Barney comes back. That is a lot of pitchers. There has to be like 18 of them, including a 6 man rotation and a 12 man bull pen.
I think Goins sticks around, and Thole will probably come back too. I wouldn't have minded seeing how someone like Montero or Tellez did either, considering EE may leave.
Alford hitting in the 230 range in A ball, hardly Elite.
