Very surprising to see him up, curious to see what the kid can do after tearing up the minors this year.

Nice. I've seen him at a couple of stops in the minors, and he strikes me as one of those "looks like a ballplayer" guys, that I always like.

Thanks to Greg again!!!

Hopefully this brings him out of his slump...

Hitless in his last 29 at-bats and has 6 hits in his last 60 at-bats (.100).

Who?...lol

Sucks that Bailey is going to the DL but let's see what this Bates kid can do! So will they send him back down after the AS break when Lowell comes back from the DL??

"I'm aware that if he hits a couple of home runs you'll want him in Cooperstown and he he doesn't do as well you wont want him around."

Sounds like Francona's talking to some people on FCB directly.

It's a good opportunity for him, but Bates will be back in Pawtucket after the All Star break.

0-1 Pop-out to short.

Good AB though, I like him.
