The Red Sox have made a roster move that I'd like to say because this can't go unnoticed.
Ok, following RHP Alex Wilson's loss last night, the Red Sox optioned him back to Triple A Pawtucket... and the moment we've all been waiting for... well, at least I've been waiting for...
The Red Sox have called up 24 year old RHP Rubby De La Rosa from Triple A Pawtucket! The reason I am so happy about this is because he has been in the majors before with the LA Dodgers and he has showed signs to be good, at least. Pedro Martinez has worked with him on his pitches and he has improved a lot more. His fastball reaches between 92-98 MPH, his change-up is said to have great movement, and his slider is said to have improved, and gets players swinging a lot. De La Rosa is 0-1 with a 3.29 ERA in 38.1 innings and 11 starts this year in Pawtucket. He has improved a lot more since going through Tommy John Surgery.
De La Rosa will be available for the Red Sox in the bullpen tonight, and hopefully we get to see his Red Sox debut tonight. I have high hopes for him, and I think he will be an effective strikeout pitcher, basing off his PawSox stats, and improvement. Let's hope for the best from him! And once again, LET'S HOPE THE RED SOX WIN! Wait, I don't need to hope, I know they'll win...
