Per a team announcement, the Red Sox have claimed 1B Joey Curletta off waivers from Seattle.
Curletta, 25, was placed on the Mariner 40-man after a solid (.282/.383/.482) showing for Double-A Arkansas last season. Baseball America, who ranked the 6’4 righty 22nd overall in a poor Seattle system entering the year, noted that the husky first-baseman “draws comparisons” to current Mariner DH Dan Vogelbach.
A poor early-season showing on the bandbox circuit that now serves as the Pacific Coast League, where a staggering 38 players currently boast an OPS north of .900, left Curletta, who’s been old for the level since repeating High-A for the third time in 2017, expendable.
The former sixth-rounder will reportedly be assigned to AA-Portland in the Boston system.
huh weird
Who?
He maybe Devers back up one day when Devers moves to first.
That third paragraph/run-on sentence hurt my brain. I admit that it doesn’t take much these day to hurt my brain, but still…
Seriously.
“[O]n the bandbox circuit that now serves as the Pacific Coast League…”?
Unfortunately, almost every writer on this site thinks he’s adorable and/or tries way too hard to seem clever.
So go back to Fox news0 where the lies are clearly stated in perfect English.
And stop complaining about a free site.
Cretins…..
.500 record here we come!
He was Texas League AA player of the year last season. Plus power, can play 1st and both corner outfield spots. He got hurt during spring, did not get to participate.
DD builds up the Sox farm system…….
Bryce Brentz 2.0
He probably has 3 options, Travis is on his last option year. This is depth for when we have to waive him
He’d have 3 option years counting this one since he was only added to the 40-man this past offseason. But he’d have 2 option years left after this season, if that’s what you mean.
Yeah DD builds up the Sox farm system with more BBB’s
