I do not like this move. I believe that Reddick is better than Anderson in terms of hitting and fielding. I say this after watching Anderson look at a called third strike in the bottom of the eight inning with two men on. True, one at-bat is a very good sample size.

My latest point was that the Red Sox were poorly constructed for 2009, with no decent position players on the bench or ready in the farm system. I didn't say anything about acquiring another starting player as it is too late and it doesn't make sense to give up a decent propect.. The Red Sox will be fortunate to make the playoffs this year.

I'm not so happy about a guy like Brian Anderson being on the Red Sox during a playoff run either but shit happens. This is a good baseball team regardless of what point doomsayers want to focus on.

Fair points. However, I think most would agree that Anderson is the not the answer either, even for a few days. He couldn't even crack the White Sox lineup when they were hurting for outfielders. The lack of bench strength or major league ready position players in the system continues to hurt the Red Sox this season.

You want a MLB-starter level replacement for a 3-5 day injury? How do you want to acquire this player? Trade Bowden? Don't forget that this is the fifth outfielder we're talking about - Baldelli is on the DL and comes off on August 21. Seriously, how far down do you expect to have "Major League ready position players"?

No coincidence that Reddick was kept in Boston until now. If he's called up before 9/2, he won't burn an option this year.

I agree completely with you that this was no coincidence as we know how the Sox are obsessed with roster flexibility (rightly so). It should be noted that if Reddick burns an option in 2012, something has probably gone horribly wrong with him, as I think he has shown he can be a solid contributor in the majors within 1-1.5 years. Drew's contract is up after 2011, and I would assume Reddick fills that role for 2012 if not before then. A lot can happen, but hopefully that 3rd option is irrelevant.

Agreed that Reddick is still a work in progress but his aggressive approach doesn't bother me that much because of his ability to drive pitcher's pitches, he's not swinging at bad pitches out of the strike zone, just needs a little more selectivity when the count is low. A few times in the field, he looked tentative but that will go away with experience. ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (left coast bosox fan) http://forum-soxprospects.com/reply/199380 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 21:32:41 PST <![CDATA[ Re: BRIAN Anderson up, Reddick down. ]]> http://forum-soxprospects.com/reply/199374/t/BRIAN-Anderson-up-Reddick-down-.html#reply-199374 feeds@kickapps.com (packageforbutch) http://forum-soxprospects.com/reply/199374 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 21:18:47 PST <![CDATA[ Re: BRIAN Anderson up, Reddick down. ]]> http://forum-soxprospects.com/reply/199373/t/BRIAN-Anderson-up-Reddick-down-.html#reply-199373
Personally, I'm not ready to hand him a starting job next year, and would like to see him get some time in AAA. I'm sure the Red Sox feel the same way, as I believe they would have sent him down earlier otherwise (thus guaranteeing that he burn his option this year). ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Arquimedez Bozo) http://forum-soxprospects.com/reply/199373 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 21:17:12 PST <![CDATA[ Re: BRIAN Anderson up, Reddick down. ]]> http://forum-soxprospects.com/reply/199372/t/BRIAN-Anderson-up-Reddick-down-.html#reply-199372 feeds@kickapps.com (left coast bosox fan) http://forum-soxprospects.com/reply/199372 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 21:05:57 PST <![CDATA[ BRIAN Anderson up, Reddick down. ]]> http://forum-soxprospects.com/topic/4961/t/BRIAN-Anderson-up-Reddick-down-.html feeds@kickapps.com (Smokin Joe Wood) http://forum-soxprospects.com/topic/4961 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 16:44:01 PST
