For the Sox fans out there, any chance MattBarnes joins them on Sept 1? 8-8 with a 3.80 ERA and 1.31 WHIP. It would be a nice intro to the bigs for the former Husky.

Very good chance. He's been lights out his last six starts. PawSox are holding onto the wild card spot. He'll stay down until they're done.

Barnes entered the All-Star break with a 4-7 record, 5.06 ERA, 6.9 strikeouts per nine and 3.7 walks per nine. In eight starts after the break, however, he went 4-2 with a 2.38 ERA, 7.8 strikeouts and 2.5 walks per nine. Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal explained that Barnes has been dialing back his fastball at times, working around 90-91 mph rather than reaching for velocity at all times, and it would appear that the improved second half numbers testify to the success of the approach.

Matt had a strong comeback in the second half of the season. He will be a relief pitcher for the Sox this year.
