* Text Features The Boston Red Sox Wednesday, July 1, 2020 * The Boston Globe College lefties drafted by Red Sox have small sample sizes but big hopes Julian McWilliams There was natural anxiety for players entering this year’s Major League Baseball draft. Their 2020 high school or college seasons had been cut short or canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. They lost that chance at increasing their individual stock, and furthermore, the draft had been reduced to just five rounds. Lefthanders Shane Drohan and Jeremy Wu-Yelland felt some of that anxiety. The two were in their junior years of college. Drohan attended Florida State and Wu-Yelland played at the University of Hawaii. There was a chance both could have gone undrafted and thus would have been tasked with the tough decision of signing a free agent deal capped at $20,000 or returning to school for their senior year. “I didn’t know if I was going to get drafted,” Wu-Yelland said in a phone interview. “My agent was kind of telling me that it might happen, it might not. Just be ready for anything.” Said Drohan, “I knew the scouting report on me was I have the stuff to shoot up on draft boards but I haven’t really put it together yet. I felt like I was doing that this year and then once [the season] got shut down, that definitely played into the stress of it, like, ‘Did I show enough?’ ” As it turned out, both players showed enough. The Red Sox selected Wu-Yelland in the fourth round and Drohan in the fifth. Both players plan on signing. “Overall, it’s exciting,” Drohan said. “I’m ready to get going.” There are some similarities in Wu-Yelland and Drohan’s college careers. First, they have a limited sample size. Wu-Yelland’s career high in innings came in 2019 at just 46⅓. Drohan’s season high came that same year (51⅔ innings). As freshmen, both began in the bullpen. Wu-Yelland’s career has been a blend between starter and reliever, while Drohan’s role as a starter became a bit more defined by his sophomore season, and it’s a role he would like to remain in. “I see myself as a starter,” said Drohan, who made four starts this year. “Like we said, the sample size has been small, so I’m still really figuring out how to pitch just because I didn’t really start pitching until late junior year of high school. “For the most part, I’m fairly new to it. If you really dive into the numbers, each year I’ve made drastic strides.” Wu-Yelland, on the other hand, is indifferent about being a starter or reliever. “I don’t really get into roles too much,” Wu-Yelland said. “I just want the ball when it matters and help my team win games. That’s what the Red Sox are getting out of me, is someone who wants to win more than anything else.” Wu-Yelland made his biggest impression during the summer of 2019 in the Cape Cod League. In 25⅔ innings, he struck out 26 and posted a 3.15 ERA. “We had seen him pitch in the Cape Cod League, where he threw great,” Red Sox amateur scouting director Paul Toboni said. “He threw great again this season. [Area scout] J.J. Altobelli really drove it. We were really able to get a robust process early on the kid, which left us in a really good position to select him in the fourth round.” Excelling in the Cape Cod League also gave Wu-Yelland confidence. “Being around the best competition every day really helped, too,” Wu-Yelland said. “And just understanding in my own head that I’m right there with these guys and I’m not just as good, I can be better.” Wu-Yelland’s fastball sits between 91 and 94 miles per hour, topping out at 96. He complements that with a loopy, low-80s breaking ball that he keeps out of the middle of the zone, according to Baseball America. Drohan is more of a project but also has a big arm that tops out at 95 m.p.h. “He’s another unique talent,” Toboni said. “He just does it so easy. Then you check the radar and it’s 94 to 95.” Drohan was drafted in 2017, in the 23rd round, by the Philadelphia Phillies, when he was at Cardinal Newman High School in Florida. His father, Bill, played in the Kansas City Royals organization for four years (1987-90). Drohan also was a standout quarterback on his high school team and is probably the best athlete the Sox selected in this year’s draft. He believes the football background helps him on the baseball field. “It really helps for me more mentally than physically,” Drohan said. “Especially because I was a quarterback. Just the high-intensity situations in football and being the quarterback when stuff is going wrong. I know when I was a quarterback, I had to keep my cool, stay poised. It kind of relates to pitching, too.” The most important homer in Red Sox history? It might not be what you think Chad Finn There are so many candidates for the second-most important home run in Red Sox history that the MLB Network could put together an hourlong show counting them down before getting to the obvious No. 1. Frankly, after subjecting us to an entire weekend of Derek Jeter content recently, it’s the least it could do. Carlton Fisk’s if-it-stays-fair homer to win Game 6 of the 1975 World Series would be prominent on such a program. So, too, would another home run from that game, Bernie Carbo’s improbable pinch-hit three-run blast in the eighth inning to tie it. Dave Henderson’s ninth-inning, go-ahead homer — which brought a perfect, incredulous “… and it’s gone! Un-believable!” call from Al Michaels — in Game 5 of the 1986 American League Championship Series would get its due. So would Ted Williams’s adieu at Fenway in the sunset of the 1960 season, Troy O’Leary’s grand slam against the Indians in 1999, and a half-dozen homers from the David Ortiz postseason oeuvre. Maybe more than a half-dozen. (Manny Ramirez’s walkoff homer in Game 2 of the 2007 ALDS might not rank as one of the dozen or so most important homers in Red Sox history, but it might be my personal favorite. He annihilated that baseball. I can’t count the times I’ve watched that one on YouTube the last 13 years.) But every one of those magical, memorable home runs is competing for second place on the podium. The most important home run in Red Sox history is Johnny Damon’s second-inning grand slam in Game 7 of the 2004 ALCS. I’d say this is indisputable, except that every time the subject has come up in Twitter conversation, it becomes a matter of dispute, with the aforementioned home runs all drawing “yeah, but” mention as its equal or even superior. As special as they are, they are not as important. And that should not be disputed. Damon’s grand slam changed Red Sox history. It changed everything. The slam, which turned a 2-0 lead into a holy-cow-this-is-actually-happening 6-0 advantage and brought Yankee Stadium to stunned silence, was the hit that never happened before, the one the Red Sox could never quite muster in 1946 and ’67 and ’75 and, oh yes, in 2003, when a 5-2 lead in Game 7 of the ALCS slipped away in the eighth inning. Damon’s slam eased some of the tension in the most tension-packed game we could ever imagine. And he did it, on the road, at Yankee Stadium, after the Red Sox had fought back from a three-games-to-none deficit in the series to force a Game 7. If you were the cynical sort then — and most of us were, rightfully — the only way ’04 could have ended up more disappointing than ’03 is if the Red Sox had rallied from that 3-0 hole, made us believe that the greatest comeback in sports history was possible, and then somehow blown it in Game 7. We’d waited generations for someone to come through in that manner under such important circumstances, especially against the Yankees. Damon is the one who finally did. Some of you will cite Ortiz home runs — the extra-innings blast in Game 4 of the series that got the comeback started, or his two-run homer in the first inning of Game 7 that came right after Damon was thrown out at the plate — as the most important. They are important, for sure. But none of what came before would have mattered a lick without Damon’s game-breaker. His home run was the punch to the throat, the fatal blow, the sea change that finally made Jeter look like he was the one seeing ghosts. Without Damon’s slam, Ortiz’s earlier heroics in the series and in that game might have ended up as footnotes to another lost cause. Sure, Ortiz’s Game 4 home run set change in motion. Damon’s was the change. I believe the Red Sox’ success this century has dulled our memories of just how cynical we had become after the crushing loss in 2003, one that left our souls ground up into a fine powder, one that left our minds wondering why we bothered investing so much time in something that always let us down in the end.

  • Near-Perfect Archer Fires 1-Hitter, Rays Blank Astros Rays' Mcgee
    Tampa Bay Rays Clips – August 21, 2015 Near-perfect Archer fires 1-hitter, Rays blank Astros By Marc Topkin, Tampa Bay Times HOUSTON — Chris Archer's Thursday night on the Minute Maid Park mound didn't begin well, a four-pitch walk to leadoff man Jose Altuve that flashed back to the struggles in his previous outing. But Archer's night couldn't have ended better, celebrating his complete-game one-hitter in the Rays' 1-0 victory over the Astros in a group jump with three other starting pitchers. "It felt awesome,'' Archer said. "There's really no better feeling than when you accomplish your goals, and it happens so infrequently. It's exhilarating.'' A Rays pitcher hadn't thrown a complete game in nearly a year, since Drew Smyly's gem at Toronto on Aug. 22, 2014, the 154 games in between the longest running streak by an American League team. But the Rays (60-61) needed Archer's masterful performance for more than a historic significance, coming off back-to-back extra-inning walkoff losses that taxed their bullpen and the news that top lefty reliever Jake McGee needed knee surgery and would miss most of, and potentially all of, the rest of the season. Manager Kevin Cash praised Archer for responding to the situation with his 98 pitch, 11-strikeout masterpiece. "It was kind of like an ace knowing what we were faced up against with our bullpen being stretched out the last two nights and he kind of took the game on his shoulders and really delivered,'' Cash said.

  • Major League Baseball and the Antitrust Rules: Where Are We Now???
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL AND THE ANTITRUST RULES: WHERE ARE WE NOW??? Harvey Gilmore, LL.M, J.D.1 INTRODUCTION This essay will attempt to look into the history of professional baseball’s antitrust exemption, which has forever been a source of controversy between players and owners. This essay will trace the genesis of the exemption, its evolution through the years, and come to the conclusion that the exemption will go on ad infinitum. 1) WHAT EXACTLY IS THE SHERMAN ANTITRUST ACT? The Sherman Antitrust Act, 15 U.S.C.A. sec. 1 (as amended), is a federal statute first passed in 1890. The object of the statute was to level the playing field for all businesses, and oppose the prohibitive economic power concentrated in only a few large corporations at that time. The Act provides the following: Every contract, combination in the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy, in restraint of trade or commerce among the several states, or with foreign nations, is declared to be illegal. Every person who shall make any contract or engage in any combination or conspiracy hereby declared to be illegal shall be deemed guilty of a felony…2 It is this statute that has provided a thorn in the side of professional baseball players for over a century. Why is this the case? Because the teams that employ the players are exempt from the provisions of the Sherman Act. 1 Professor of Taxation and Business Law, Monroe College, the Bronx, New York.

    The Boston Red Sox Monday, August 21, 2017 * The Boston Globe The pick here is Andrew Benintendi over Aaron Judge Dan Shaughnessy Aaron Judge vs. Andrew Benintendi. Forget 2017 American League Rookie of the Year. I’m asking . which guy would you rather have on your team for the next 15 seasons? We love these Yankee-Red Sox mano-a-manos. It’s as old as the rivalry itself. Joe DiMagggio came to the bigs in 1936. Ted Williams burst on the scene three years later. Throughout the 1940s, it was a raging argument. We were even led to believe that the respective owners of the Sox and Yankees once made a late-night swap while in a drunken haze. The alleged trade was called off by dawn’s early light. Remember when the Sox had Carlton Fisk and the Yanks had Thurman Munson? New York’s grumpy catcher was a league MVP before his career was tragically cut short when he crashed his plane in 1979. Fisk went on to become a Hall of Famer. Don Mattingly and Wade Boggs were rivals of sorts in the 1980s and who can forget those early years of this new century when Nomar Garciaparra vs. Derek Jeter was a real debate. Now we have Judge and Benintendi. Big Poison and Little Poison. It’s 6 feet 7 inches and 282 pounds vs. 5-10 and 170. It’s not about Rookie of the Year anymore. Even though he is playing as badly as anyone can play at the moment, Judge pretty much retired the rookie trophy with his ridiculous first half.

  • The Impact of Retro Stadiums on Major League Baseball Franchises
    ABSTRACT MENEFEE, WILLIAM CHADWICK. The Impact of Retro Stadiums on Major League Baseball Franchises. (Under the direction of Dr. Judy Peel). The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of “retro” stadiums on professional baseball franchises. Retro stadiums, baseball-exclusive facilities modeled on classic architectural designs of the past, were built at an increasing rate beginning in 1992 with Baltimore’s Camden Yards. This study analyzed changes in franchises’ attendance, winning percentage, revenue and team value in the seasons following a team’s relocation to a retro stadium. Retro stadiums were found to positively increase attendance, revenue and team value for franchises at a higher rate than teams that did not build retro stadiums. An analysis of these variables and a discussion of the results for all individual franchises that constructed retro stadiums during the 1992-2004 period are presented in this study.
