Red Sox Minor Lines: Bobby Dalbec smacks two dingers in Portland

Josh Ockimey, 1B: 1-4, 1 HR, 1 R, 3 RBI, 2 K

I think Ockimey is making the transition to Triple-A just fine, you guys. Oftentimes, it seems to me that we are too quick to dismiss this jump in levels. High-A to Double-A gets all the pub, but here guys are going from facing theoretical major leaguers to pitchers who have actually been there. It’s an entirely different kind of pitcher and is a necessary jump on the ladder. Ockimey has only been there three games, and his four strikeouts aren’t ideal, but this was his second dinger and that makes up for the other issues.
