There have been times this season when the Red Sox bullpen has been untouchable. And, there have been
other times when—well, not so much. Injuries have kept two highly-touted arms—
Carson Smith and
Tyler Thornburg—on the sidelines all year. So, it begs the question: "Is there anyone in the minors who could help?" Enter one
Jamie Callahan. The 22-year-old righty has been routinely hitting in the upper 90s at both AA and AAA this year. Over 13 innings with the AA Portland Sea Dogs, Callahan went 4-1 with a 1.38 ERA. He logged twenty strikeouts and
no walks over that span. Now, at AAA Pawtucket, his outings (with a couple of exceptions) show that he
might just be able to contribute at the big-league level. Callahan told
MassLive.com:
"I was just attacking the zone. That's what it comes down to. Just getting ahead early and putting people away." Amen! Stay tuned!
