I'm guessing this is back in Puerto Rico given how long he has been inactive. Congrats to Reddick for his first call-up, and congrats to McBeth on making it back. Ah, excellent ... thanks AB.

I hope it's something more along the lines of the Sox suggesting he take a week or so to help with roster flexibility than it is complications with the birth or something like that. You've got to figure if the birth was imminent enough that he left, that they would have induced labor by now, right?

Duncan and Anderson have LF and CF locked up in Pawtucket until September. Unless they're comfortable DH'ing Carter every day and having Reddick play RF every day, he might be better off in Portland.

Got an AB in place of Rocco Baldelli in the 9th inning then played right field in the bottom of the 9th. Just a ground out to short stop on the second pitch but I jumped out of my seat when I heard the announcer call his name. Pretty neat to see. The future of the Red Sox outfield has arrived. Could Drew's "leg injury" be worse then originally thought:? Last Edited By: BNich0622 08/01/09 10:36 AM. Edited 1 time.

I would rather see Reddick playing RF everyday, I think that is the future for him in the majors considering the cannon he has for an arm.

I think one of the reasons Reddick was summoned was that Harrisburg is only a short drive to Baltimore while the other two were in Buffalo. Twitter: @Jonathan_Singer/@Soxprospects

Was McBeth actually able to make it there for gametime? I figure he really didn't need to be, whereas Reddick sorta did with Drew being "injured".

How does this automatically burns a Reddick option (genuine question)? I looked up the option rules in the Wiki and the following would seem to apply in this case (but maybe I'm missing something): "A player may not be optioned in more than three seasons. However, if a player is optioned for a total of less than 20 days in a given season, the player shall not be charged with an option in connection with this limitation. A player is eligible for a fourth option season if he has been optioned in three seasons but has not yet amassed five full seasons of professional baseball experience. For the purpose of this exception, a full season is one in which the player is on any professional roster for at least 90 days."

There's no way he's going to be up long enough that he won't be optioned for 20 days after this. I guess it doesn't "automatically" burn an option, but it pretty much does.
