This guy might be a good pickup for a National League team.

I would personally rather have Sutton at the plate in a pressure situation, going down the stretch, than Jackson. Nuff said.

Sutton is a much better player than Spears, having seen both at Pawtucket. Mistake on Epsteins part.

I just don’t get it. The man hits .300+, plays every where adequatly, doesn’t complain when the Sox send him back down despite doing so well as to have earned a spot on the 25 man let alone 40 may roster, and yet he is released. I just don’t get it. Then they go out and get Connor Jackson who is “hitting” .220 something with little power and a glove to equal his mighty bat. So, Jackson helps, Sutton hurts? I guess I just have never understood the value of guys who can’t hit, field or run vs those who can. All this time I had thought hitting .300 to be a good thing. I clearly must re-evaluate my understanding of baseball.

Some of it may have to do with Sutton’s injury to his finger. Some of it may also have to do with personal problems with his family. Drew’s had a tough season lately and while September callups are supposed to be about rewarding minor-league players with some time in the big show, I believe Epstein and Francona wanted to give Spears some major time before the end of the season. My question is whether Drew’s stats and good play will motivate Epstein into giving Drew another contract next season…? He definitely deserves another shot. Anyone’s thoughts?
