Minor Lines 8/14/24: Dalbec Does Dalbec Things
It sure pains me to see the Red Sox blow a late-inning lead in the fashion they did Wednesday, and it pains me more to see recent acquisitions performing so poorly given how many Worcester assets were given up in the trade. But I won’t name names. If you’re looking for possible pitchers who can come up and eat innings, I may be able to help today, but my most likely name who played yesterday and may help us is a few years away from making a Major League impact. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to learn his name: Yordanny Monegro. Also learn the name of a young upstart minor leaguer who had a clutch hit tonight. His name is Bobby Dalbec. Oh... you know him already? Okay... well, let’s get into it anyway.
