I’m very excited for him. He’ll be pitching an inning in a B game against minor leaguers this Monday at 10 a.m. He’ll also pitch an inning in another game versus minor leaguers next week.
"I want to do more, but I have to listen to what they say," he said. "They are working in the best interests of my career."
I’ve probably written this before, but I’m so pleased that the Red Sox are being careful with Jon, ensuring his progress without rushing anything. I think that speaks well to how they feel about him and how important they think he is, in the long run, to the team.
It’ll be exciting to see how he does on Monday.
Last night…well, at least the pitching (for the most part, hello Julian Tavarez) looked good. And ‘the kids’ did too. It was fun to watch a ‘real’ game.
