Marcus Lush talks to Andrew about the situation of a young woman living in a mould-ridden unit in Auckland
Buying in a slightly different suburb could save homeowners hundreds of thousands of dollars and carve up to 10 or more years off their mortgage, Westpac says.
"No tenant should have to live in a mould-ridden unit," said Andrew King, Executive Officer of the NZ Property Investors' Federation the national organisation representing landlords
Low-deposit loans for housing construction make up a very small part of the mortgage market, the Reserve Bank said today.
Sales volumes eased in October but prices continued to rise, the latest data from the Real Estate Institute shows. There were 6778 residential property sales in the month, up 2.1% on October last year and up 0.9% compared to September.
There are more people pleased that house prices are rising than worried about them, BNZ's latest consumer confidence report shows.
Labour took the opportunity to unveil its Kiwibuild policy at their conference last weekend. The leader, David Cunliffe, announced that the party would build 10,000 homes in Canterbury over four years as part of this new policy.
Builders have a clear message for the Government: Hands off our industry.
The OECD has just released its latest Better life index, which shows that New Zealand is slightly below average for disposable incomes and the second highest country for housing expenditure as a percentage of gross disposable income.
Nine out of ten investors think the new loan-to-value restrictions will have no effecr on their buying behaviour over the next year, Crockers research shows.
Loan-to-value restrictions will be felt least in the cities with the hottest prices, QV said today as the organisation released its latest statistics.
More people may decide not to sell their properties by auction over the next couple of months as loan-to-value restrictions kick in, the Real Estate Institute says.
Wellington City Council is among four councils investigating a "warrant of fitness" for private rental homes, potentially beating the Government to the punch.
Buyers had more properties to choose from in October than they have had in quite a while, Barfoot and Thompson's latest figures show.
New Zealand could learn something from Texans when it comes to policies relating to housing development, a report by the NZ Initiative says.
It will take a combination of a hike in interest rates and more houses being built to take the heat out of the Auckland housing market, ASB's chief economist says.
New houses, which add to Auckland's housing supply, should have been exempt from the LVR restrictions, a broker who specialises in construction finance says.
Asking prices have reached another all-time high and the loan-to-value restrictions have not slowed investors' intentions of buying, two sets of data released today show.
City apartments are finding favour with investors again, and Auckland looks to be on the cusp of another building boom.
Landlords need to look after their customers and keep their rental properties warm and dry, says the president of the Independent Property Managers Association.
Young people are turning into investors rather than first-home buyers because of the loan-to-value restrictions, BNZ chief economist Tony Alexander says.
Capital gain is still overwhelming the main reason why people choose to buy an investment property, the latest Crockers Property Investment Index survey shows.
A capital gains tax has been recommended by Treasury, as a long-term measure to keep a lid on house prices. The recommendations were part of a series of documents about loan-to-value restrictions, released today.
A shortage of commercial real estate is looming as New Zealand businesses bounce back from the recession, real estate agency Knight Frank says.

Resonator optics for high power UV lasers
Image Number 6 for
United States Patent #6868106
An excimer or molecular fluorine laser system includes a discharge chamber filled with a laser gas mixture at least including a halogen-containing molecular species and a buffer gas, multiple electrodes within the discharge chamber connected to a discharge circuit for energizing the gas mixture, and a resonator for generating a laser beam including an optical component made of MgF.sub.2. The optical component made of MgF.sub.2 has been previously cleaved along a predetermined plane, such that the refractive indices of the birefringent MgF.sub.2 material for orthogonal polarization components of the beam are either at least approximately equal so that the polarization of the beam due to the influence of the birefringent nature of the MgF.sub.2 material is not substantially reduced, or are approximately maximum so that at least a portion of one of the components is rejected by the resonator so that the polarization of the beam is increased due to the birefringent nature of the MgF.sub.2.

FREDDIE Curtis hopes this week's World Junior Championships can be a springboard to Rio 2016 qualification.
The 19-year-old javelin thrower, from Hardwick, near Bicester, competes in the heats in Eugene, Oregon tomorrow night.
Curtis earned a spot for Great Britain after surpassing 70m for the first time.
He said: "I was really pleased to gain selection.
"I spent all of last winter and spring in Finland with my coach Pettori Piironen, working extremely hard on my fitness and technique, which is now paying off.
"My aim is to gain experience from a high quality championship like this.
"I hope to make the final when anything can happen."
In the long-term, the Loughborough University student wants to be a senior international.
He said: "I would like to qualify for the Rio Olympics in 2016 and World Championships in London 2017.
"At the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 I would like to think I could win a medal."
Curtis and his brothers Jackson, 21, and Redford, 17, have all had success with the javelin since starting out as youngsters with Bicester AC.
"From a young age, all three of us could throw a tennis ball over the house for fun," said Freddie.
"Jackson, my older brother, joined Bicester Athletics Club while at primary school and started sprinting and long jumping.
"He had an injury to his hip so took up the javelin which he was good at.
"I followed in his footsteps at the age of 11 trying to beat him in typical brotherly rivalry.
"I now have my younger brother Redford trying to beat me, so a big family rivalry pushes you on."

Ex-Penney CEO Ron Johnson got no severance when he left
Send this to a friend

- Email | LinkedIn | Twitter | Google+
Former J.C. Penney CEO Ron Johnson did not receive a severance package when he was forced out of the top job at the Plano-based retailer.
The company said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that neither Johnson nor former Chief Talent Officer Daniel Walker received any severance pay when they left.
"Mr. Johnson was not party to an Executive Termination Pay Agreement and Mr. Walker voluntarily resigned so they did not receive any severance benefits," J.C. Penney (NYSE: JCP) said in the filing.
Former COO Michael Kramer did receive a severance package when he left, Penney said, but his termination agreement was reduced by $1 million dollars. Kramer was was paid $2.35 million in 2013 Penney said.
Johnson, who was let go in April, 2013, was paid $658,921 in salary during 2013, Penney said. This filing contradicts a report last year that Johnson had received a $149,000 severance payment. Johnson's 2013 compensation included $409,000 for use of company airplanes, Penney said in the filing.
Johnson was replaced as CEO by Mike Ullman, who was paid $2.39 million in total compensation last year, including $810,000 in salary, the company said.
Ullman told the Dallas Business Journal last week that he will continue as CEO as long as necessary.
"The board has made it clear that I am not an interim CEO, I am the CEO," Ullman said. "I will stay as long or as short as necessary."

2008 Chevrolet Cobalt • 52,000 miles
I have a 2008 Chevy Cobalt. When I start it from a cold start, it sounds fine, then, about 15-20 seconds in, there is a loud, short (I don't think it's even a second) grinding noise, then it sounds fine again. The noise is preceded (from start up) by a slight whirring noise that I would never have noticed other than the fact that it disappears right after the grind. The car does not make this noise if it is warm. Any ideas?

Film director who owns pub in Gordon Ramsay legal battle describes celebrity chef's fraud claims as 'absurd'
Published: 14 February 2013
Former police chief Ali Dizaei has lost his appeal against his conviction for misconduct and perverting the course of justice.
Three judges at the Court of Appeal in London dismissed a challenge brought by the ex-Scotland Yard commander, who was found guilty for a second time at a retrial in February last year.
The decision was announced by Lord Chief Justice Lord Judge today.
Iranian-born Dizaei, 50, from Acton, west London, had argued that his conviction was "unsafe", but Lord Judge said the conviction "was and remains safe".
Dizaei was first convicted of framing young businessman Waad al-Baghdadi in a street row in 2010.
He was jailed for four years, but the conviction was quashed by the Court of Appeal a year later.
After the second trial he received a three-year prison sentence at London's Southwark Crown Court.
This was reduced by the 15 months he had already spent behind bars and he has been released.
Dizaei was sacked by the Metropolitan Police following internal disciplinary proceedings.
During the recent hearing of his appeal, Dizaei's QC Stephen Riordan argued that his conviction was "unsafe", submitting that the judge at the second trial made an "error of law" when he refused to admit certain "bad character" evidence relating to Mr al-Baghdadi.
Mr Riordan said that because of the judge's decision to reject the application the jury "did not have all the material that it should have done".
He told the court: "We submit simply that that decision was wrong - that the reasons he gave for refusing to allow this material to be deployed were matters which more properly should have been considered by the jury."
Opposing the appeal, Peter Wright QC, for the Crown, told the court: "Here there was no error by the judge in the exercise he undertook. The decision was not wrong in law."
Mr Wright said: "We submit that in the context of the fairness of this trial, that this trial remained entirely fair and that the conviction was not unsafe."
Dismissing the appeal today, Lord Judge said that the decision about the credibility of Waad al-Baghdadi and Dizaei "although crucial to the outcome of the case, fell to be assessed in the light of a substantial body of further evidence which was available to assist the jury to make their assessment".
He added: "This was not a case, as it is sometimes expressed, of one person's word against another.
"In truth there was formidable evidence against the appellant."
After the ruling, Daniel Godden, partner at Hodge Jones and Allen, the law firm representing Dizaei, said: "We are disappointed that the Court of Appeal did not hold Ali Dizaei's conviction to be unsafe."
But he added that the firm "have potentially discovered fresh evidence" relating to Mr al-Baghdadi "which the Court of Appeal did not consider and the case will now be referred to the Criminal Cases Review Commission".
The Commission is an independent body which investigates possible miscarriages of justice.

CM Punk Explains Why He Tapes Up His Wrists, Legends Of The Ring, Rey Mysterio
by Amish Patel - August 21, 2012
- Speaking to WWE Magazine, CM Punk explains why he tapes up his wrists for every match.
"With taping up my wrists, there's both an aesthetic and a utilitarian purpose," he says. "Obviously, I'm big on imagery with Straight Edge. As for X'ing up the current CM Punk, mostly uses red pen—it's my favorite color. But on the other end of the spectrum, taping up my hands and wrists helps me grip whomever I'm wrestling as well as the ropes. If I have a strained wrist, you'd never know thanks to the tape job. So it's both functional, and it looks cool. Plus, it takes less than a minute to tape up both wrists, so it's certainly not a time consuming process."
– Legends of the Ring has announced they will be participate in the WrestleCon festivities that are taking place WrestleMania weekend 2013 April 5-7 with an event at Meadowlands Expo Center in Secaucus, New Jersey. Names scheduled to appear include The Honky Tonk Man, "Cowboy" Bob Orton, "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff, Demolition Ax, Demolition Smash, Kamala "The Ugandan Giant," Mr. Fuji, Ken Patera and Tito Santana.

'I Reach Under My Pillow'
The night grows long, time stands still,
can't get any sleep, my mind spinning with thoughts to kill.
Eyes wide open, spotting the fly on the wall,
as the spider pounces,
consuming all.
My mind plays tricks, I'm floating through the air,
now I'm peeking in your window,
Devil may care.
Silently I enter, creeping through the hall,
picturing in my mind, your throat slit,
your blood spattered on the wall.
Safely back in my bed this night,
the night that will never end,
a sickening smile on my face,
revealing my sin.
I get comfortable in bed lying
next to my wife,
as I reach under my pillow-
And my hand finds the knife.

MassDOT's Right of Way Bureau has earned national recognition. The Bureau will receive the national 2010 Excellence in Right-of Way Award for Stewardship from the Federal Highway Administration following its statewide outreach program, Massachusetts Right of Way Process – Helping Communities Move Forward. Right of Way Bureau employees, left, are Thomas P. Gray, Director, Right of Way Bureau; Pamela Marquis, Community Compliance Administrator; and Linda Walsh, Transportation Planner.
The federal Excellence in Right of Way Awards recognize outstanding innovations and honor right-of-way professionals who excel in streamlining or improving the real property acquisition process while protecting the rights of property owners and tenants.
MassDOT's Right of Way outreach program included training sessions throughout the Commonwealth reaching more than 1,000 people to better inform cities and towns about Federal and State requirements when acquiring right-of-way for highway construction projects in order to qualify for federal or state funding.
This outreach program has increased awareness but also established stronger relationships between MassDOT and local city and town representatives. MassDOT will receive its award by the Federal Highway Administration in April. Visit the Right of Way Bureau web page.

Anthony, Merulus, and John were monks in Rome�s Benedictine Monastery of Saint Andrew. Anthony meditated upon the Scriptures so as to move his heart to contrition. One night he experienced a vision in which he was told to prepare to leave on a journey, for God had commanded it. When Anthony replied that he did not have the money to pay his way, the voice answered, �If you are referring to your sins, know that they are forgiven.� Six days later, he died. The monk Merulus recited the psalms continually. He also received a vision foreshadowing his death, when one night he saw a garland of white flowers descend from heaven and settle upon his head. He died peacefully soon afterward. The monk John was distinguished for his great humility and meekness. When he fell ill with what seemed a fatal illness, he experienced a vision of an aged man assuring him that he would not die from this sickness, but adding, �Be prepared, for you have not long to live in this world.� After recovering, John spent the next two years living his monastic vocation with exceptional fervor before dying from a fever.

US factories released a total number of 6281 M4A1 tanks. Initially, the front hull had peepholes, but designers later decided to remove them. Covered gear compartment models of the early versions were made from three parts, later these were replaced with a cast single part. The main, 75mm gun M34 was replaced by M34A1 gun in 1943. From February 1942 to autumn 1942 the US arms industry produced around 900 M4A1 (early release) vehicles, that took part in the battles in Africa and Italy in 1942-1943.

Call of Duty: Find Makarov trailer is absurdly impressive
The Find Makarov fan film has finally been revealed today, by way of an incredibly stunning trailer. Despite being mostly made up of live-action re-enactments from Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare games, the sheer quality of the production is worthy of a golf clap, at the very least.
Check out the trailer and let us know what you reckon. I'm not usually a big follower of fan films, but this one looks like it'll be worth watching.

Minister calls on nations to share responsibility
In order to manage risks that may cause disputes, all countries should share the same perspective on international responsibilities, especially the role and responsibility of major powers, Defence Minister General Phung Quang Thanh has said.
In his speech delivered on May 31 at the ongoing 13th IISS Asian Security Summit, better known as the Shangri-La Dialogue, General Thanh reiterated that the common aspiration of all nations in the world, including Vietnam, is the maintenance of peace, stability, cooperation and progress without disputes.
To realise that, all countries should share the same duty of preserving an environment of peace, stability and respect for international law, the United Nations Charter and independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of others.
At the same time, they must not use force or threaten to use force to settle disputes, he said, adding that they must enhance cooperation in all partnership aspects on the basis of equality and mutual respect for mutual interests, regardless of whether they are small or big.
A common perspective provides a firm foundation for the building of trust, he said, adding that trust should be shown not only through words but also though specific and practical actions of promoting transparency and building friendships and partnerships among countries in respect of international law.
General Thanh also mentioned China' illegal placement of its Haiyang Shiyou-981 rig in Vietnam's exclusive economic zone and continental shelf, a move which has angered Vietnamese people and worried regional countries and the international community.
He reaffirmed Vietnam's stance of persistently settling disputes through peaceful measures in accordance with international law, especially the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea and ASEAN's Six-Point Principle on the East Sea .
He demanded that China immediately remove the rig out of Vietnam's exclusive economic zone and continental shelf and sit down at the negotiating table to maintain peace, stability and the relationship between the two countries.
Also on May 31, General Thanh had a bilateral meeting with US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel, and is scheduled to meet French and UK defence ministers Jean-Yves Le Drian and Philip Hammond the same day.
At the beginning of May, China illegally dispatched the rig, as well as a large fleet of armed vessels, military ships and aircraft, to Vietnam's waters and positioned the rig at 15 degrees 29 minutes 58 seconds north latitude and 111 degrees 12 minutes 06 seconds east longitude. The location is 80 miles deep inside Vietnam 's continental shelf and exclusive economic zone.
Throughout the month, China 's armed vessels have aggressively fired high-power water cannons at and intentionally rammed against Vietnamese public-service and civil ships, causing damage to many boats and injuring many people on board.
Chinese ships have continuously encircled, constrained and driven away Vietnamese fishing boats and put the lives of fishermen at risk.
On May 26, Chinese ship 11209 sank a Vietnamese fishing vessel while it was operating normally in its traditional fishing grounds near Vietnam's Hoang Sa (Paracel) archipelago.
On May 27, China moved the rig to 15 degrees 33 minutes 22 seconds north latitude and 111 degrees 34 minutes 36 seconds east longitude. The new location is 25 nautical miles from Tri Ton Island in Vietnam's Hoang Sa archipelago and 23 nautical miles east-northeast from the old location, still completely within Vietnam's continental shelf. With the move, China has continued to violate Vietnam 's sovereign right and jurisdiction.—VNA/VNS

|A's claim OF/1B Alex Hassan on waivers from Red Sox
|11.17.14 at 7:40 pm ET
Milton native Alex Hassan got to realize a childhood dream by making his big league debut at Fenway Park in 2014. Now, caught behind a raft of outfielders in the Red Sox farm system, Hassan will head elsewhere to see if he can claim an opportunity to be a more lasting opportunity in the big leagues.
The A's were awarded a waiver claim on Hassan on Monday. Though he has a minor league option remaining, the 26-year-old is expected to get an opportunity to compete for a big league platoon role.
Hassan was originally taken by the Red Sox as a pitcher out of Duke in the 20th round of the 2009 draft. However, the two-way college player proved so impressive as a hitter in the Cape League that summer that the Sox ended up signing him as an outfielder. In six pro seasons, he was one of the most consistent hitters in the system, hitting .291 with a .396 OBP and .436 slugging mark while demonstrating excellent pitch recognition and strike zone awareness. His lack of power and the fact that he was a corner (both outfield corner spots and first base) limited his ceiling, but his consistent approach led to a sense that he stood a good chance of being a big league contributor in the right role.
|Red Sox minor league roundup: Alex Hassan streaking; Will Middlebrooks brouhaha; Michael Kopech, Kevin McAvoy make strong early impressions
|07.19.14 at 8:53 am ET
A brief look at the action in the Red Sox farm system on Saturday:
— Outfielder Alex Hassan homered for the fourth straight game, going 1-for-3 with a walk and his sixth longball of the year. He's amidst a few impressive streaks, among them, including a 12-game hitting streak and a 21-game streak of games in which he's reached base via hit or walk. Since rejoining Pawtucket on June 10 following the first big league stint of his career, Hassan is hitting .374/.459/.661 with five homers and 22 extra-base hits in 31 games. He has an extra-base hit in 10 of the last 11 games.
— Outfielder Shane Victorino went 1-for-4 with a double while playing seven innings, giving him three hits in the last two rehab games (all against right-handed pitchers). The Red Sox will check in with Victorino on Saturday to see if he's physically ready for activation from the disabled list.
— Third baseman Will Middlebrooks had an eventful rehab game, going 0-for-2 with an almost-three-run-homer that was instead brought back into the park by a leaping outfielder for a sacrifice fly and getting hit by a pitch that nearly incited a brawl. The plunking on the arm was delivered by Esmil Rogers, the same right-hander who ended Middlebrooks' rookie season in 2012 by breaking his wrist with a fastball. According to the Providence Journal, Middlebrooks slammed his bat to the ground by home plate and expressed his displeasure with what he deemed to be an intentional pitch to Rogers.
'He didn't mean to hit me [in 2012],' Middlebrooks told the Journal. 'I didn't agree with tonight just because there was a base open, he missed me and then he hit me. I didn't agree with that. I thought that was bad baseball. I'm not a guy to charge the mound, especially here. I'm here trying to get my innings up, not trying to fight people. It [ticked] me off, yeah'¦ He should carry himself better than that. Think his emotions just got the better of him.'
— Right-hander Steven Wright allowed three runs on three hits (including a solo homer and double) by the time he'd gotten through just six outs, but the knuckleballer then settled to retire 17 of the last 19 batters he faced, permitting just one more hit (a single) with another batter reaching on an error. Wright totaled eight innings — his third straight outing of eight frames — in which he allowed the three runs on four hits with two walks and two strikeouts. He has a streak of five straight starts and seven of eight outings in which he's worked at least seven innings, and in nine starts on the year, he has a 5-1 record, 2.21 ERA, 7.4 strikeouts per nine innings and 2.1 walks per nine, with Triple-A opponents hitting just .188 against him.

|Dreams fulfilled, surprises, mistakes, slights: Red Sox players share draft day memories
|06.04.14 at 6:21 pm ET
The 2014 MLB amateur draft begins Thursday. Years after being drafted, members of the Red Sox shared their draft day memories and the excitement of realizing their dreams of playing professionally.
Jonny Gomes: Drafted by Rays in 18th round, 2001
Gomes didn't have set plans to play baseball in college, let alone expectations of doing it professionally. He had booked a cruise, his first vacation, during the 2001 draft and had no intentions of canceling it following a workout with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
"I don't even have a college scholarship. What makes you think I'm going to go professional?" he recalled thinking.
When he returned home from the trip two days after the draft, he was surprised to hear a message on his answering machine saying he had been selected by the Devil Rays. Gomes hadn't hired an agent – he didn't think he would be in the position to need one — so he called back to negotiate on his own. The Devil Rays offered an $18,000 signing bonus for the 18th round. Gomes countered with $20,000 and they agreed. (He hired an agent following his first season in the instructional league after learning of bigger deals other players had received. "I said, 'Huh, I'm way off.'")
Looking back now, Gomes laughed, "(My draft day memory) is probably a little different than other people, but it was zero."
Shane Victorino: Drafted by Dodgers in sixth round, 1999
It sounds like the plot of a fairy tale: Victorino went to bed one night and woke up a professional baseball player.
OK, let's explain. Victorino grew up in Hawaii, where there was a six-hour time difference from the draft action. He had been sleeping when he received word he had been selected. It was not a typical phone call, but one he gladly welcomed.
"I was honored," he said. "I was excited getting that kind of news."
|Red Sox minor league year in review: Corner infielders
|09.25.13 at 4:11 pm ET
As the major league season wraps up, WEEI.com will also wrap up its minor league coverage of the 2013 campaign by looking at the depth of prospects at the different position groupings in the farm system. Today: Corner infielders. Tuesday: Catchers.
Overview: First and third base are traditionally positions that supply much of a lineup's thump. More home runs have been hit by first baseman than any other position; third basemen rank third in that category. (Right fielders are second.) Yet the Sox' minor league system doesn't have that prototypical masher at those positions, at least not in the upper levels of their farm system.
"We probably don't have as much of a corner bat, a profile corner bat type than maybe we've had in the past," said GM Ben Cherington in this recent podcast. "We've got some guys who we think can hit, but that may be an area that we don't have as much of."
The Sox have long focused on adding up-the-middle athletes to their organization with a chance to impact the game in numerous ways. Aside from Jason Place (first round, 2006) and Bryce Brentz (supplemental first round, 2010), the team hasn't employed its top picks on players whose defining trait has been power. Aside from Michael Almanzar (2007) and, this year, Rafael Devers, the team has likewise made its most significant international commitments to up-the-middle players instead of corners.
The result is that the strength of the team's minor league system isn't found in power-hitting corners. Indeed, it's telling that the organization's top corner prospect right now — a very good prospect, it's worth mentioning — has not yet hit as many as 10 homers in a minor league season. Meanwhile, there is no one in the organization who is ready to step in as an everyday first baseman in 2014, suggesting that the team's only options are to try to bring back Mike Napoli, shift Will Middlebrooks to first (something that would presumably require the club to feature Xander Bogaerts at third) or hit the trade or free agent market.
Here's a look at the performance of Red Sox corner infielders throughout the minors this year (skipping both Will Middlebrooks — who does embody the power-hitting third base/corner profile — and the traded Jose Iglesias, since most of their work took place at the big league level, as well as Xander Bogaerts, given that he's more likely viewed as a shortstop): Read the rest of this entry »
|Red Sox minor league roundup: Mookie being Buxton/Springer; Henry Owens joins elite Red Sox pitching prospect pool; Blake Swihart, game-changer
|09.02.13 at 8:09 am ET
A brief look at the action in the Red Sox farm system on Sunday:
— For the sixth time in 10 Triple-A starts since the beginning of July, knuckleballer Steven Wright did not allow an earned run. The right-hander logged five shutout innings, tossing a complete game (albeit of the rain-shortened variety) while allowing three hits, walking two and striking out two. In his last 10 minor league appearances, Wright now has a 2.04 ERA with 38 strikeouts and 23 walks while permitting just one homer in 61 2/3 innings. He has given up two or fewer walks in five of his last six starts.
— Jackie Bradley Jr. went 1-for-3 with a double and two strikeouts while getting hit by a pitch. In 79 games this year with Triple-A Pawtucket, he's now hitting .273 with a .373 OBP and .470 slugging percentage — marks that look fairly similar to what he did last year after a mid-year promotion to Double-A Portland, but with more power. In 61 games last year with Portland, Bradley hit .271/.373/.437. While he was not among the Red Sox' first wave of September call-ups on Sunday, given that both Shane Victorino and Jacoby Ellsbury left the contest with injuries, it's possible that the Sox will choose to give themselves a bit more outfield depth by recalling Bradley.
— Outfielder Alex Hassan, in his first game since August 15 (he'd been on the DL with a broken finger), went 2-for-3 with a walk. Though his playing time has been limited severely by injuries, he's had a spectacular offensive year when able to play. The 25-year-old is hitting .321/.434/.462. While the Sox' decision to put Hassan on the 40-man roster last winter came as something of a surprise following a year in which he hit .256/.377/.365 as a 24-year-old in Pawtucket, his performance this year has been sufficiently outstanding that he would stand virtually no chance of clearing waivers if the Sox were to attempt to remove him from the 40-man roster.
— With catcher Ryan Lavarnway moving up to the big leagues, the Red Sox promoted catcher Christian Vazquez to Triple-A Pawtucket after a performance that suggests he deserves mention as one of the top catching prospects in all of the minors. In his age 22 season (Vazquez turned 23 just last month), the 2008 ninth-rounder hit .289 with a .376 OBP and .395 slugging mark while throwing out a whopping (and league-leading) 46.5 percent of attempted base stealers. For all of Vazquez's exceptional defensive tools, it is necessary to note that he committed 23 passed balls — far and away the highest total in the league, and not just a product of the occasional presence of knuckleballers in Portland — but his potential to be an elite defender who controls the game along with a player capable of showing above-average hit and on-base skills (particularly for his position, where the big league norm this year was a .248 average and .314 OBP) suggests a player who now must be considered a potential everyday catcher by the 2015 season.
— It likely wasn't the final note for which Henry Owens might have hoped with Portland. He suffered his first loss in Double-A, allowing three runs on six hits (five extra-base hits: two homers, three doubles) in 5 2/3 innings. Still.
The left-hander punched out eight and walked one while filling up the strike zone by throwing 67 of 100 pitches for strikes on Sunday. That capped a season-ending, six-start stretch in Portland in which Owens went 3-1 with a 1.78 ERA while racking up 13.6 strikeouts per nine innings (albeit with 4.5 walks per nine). Though he was the third-youngest pitcher in the Eastern League this year, Owens achieved dominant results against older opponents, as evidenced by his .167 opponents' batting average.
On the year, between High-A Salem and Double-A Portland, Owens absorbed a considerable innings boost — he went from 101 2/3 frames in 23 outings last year to 135 in 26 starts this year — but sustained dominance throughout his increased workload. The 21-year-old left-hander held opponents to a .177 average on the year (the second lowest mark among all pitchers with full-season minor league affiliates). He went 11-6 with a 2.67 ERA. He punched out 169 batters (the highest strikeout total by a Sox minor leaguer since Clay Buchholz punched out 171 in 125 innings in 2007). He had a 0.89 WHIP.
There have been few seasons like that among recent Red Sox pitching prospects. The ability to generate swings and misses in such volume has been rare. Indeed, since 2000, Owens is just the sixth Red Sox minor leaguer to punch out at least 150 batters in a season. Here he is in comparison with the other five: Read the rest of this entry »
|Red Sox minor league roundup: Impressive showing for Xander Bogaerts at third; Deven Marrero's solid debut; big day for Travis Shaw; Brian Johnson dominates
|08.14.13 at 12:16 pm ET
A brief look at the action in the Red Sox system on Tuesday:
— Catcher David Ross, whose rehab moved to Pawtucket after a pair of games with Portland, went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts on Tuesday. However, he successfully caught knuckleballer Charlie Haeger for five innings without a passed ball and he also combined with Haeger to gun down burner Billy Hamilton on a stolen base attempt. One observer had Ross with a 1.92 second time on his throw from home to second, and with Haeger having gotten the ball to the plate in 1.17 seconds, Hamilton — who is second this year in the minors with 69 steals — had no shot.
— Xander Bogaerts had his eighth start at third base in 55 games since his promotion from Double-A Portland, and went 3-for-4 (all singles) while also playing a solid defensive game that included a 5-4-3 double play (described by PawSox manager Gary DiSarcina to reporters, including Tim Britton of the Providence Journal, as "outstanding") and an impressive play in which he backhanded a ball behind the third base bag and offered a considerable display of arm strength to gun down the runner at first.
Though Bogaerts is learning third base, the undertaking has not impacted his offense adversely. In his eight games at that position, he's hitting .355/.429/.548 in 35 plate appearances. He's hitting .270/.349/.425 as a shortstop.
— Outfielder/1B Alex Hassan added to a recent hot stretch, going 2-for-2 with a pair of singles and two walks in four plate appearances. In his last five games, he's hitting .467/.619/.467. Interestingly, all eight of his outs during the stretch have come via strikeout. On the year, he's now hitting .315/.430/.461.
— In his Double-A debut, Deven Marrero went 2-for-4 with a walk. It was his fourth multi-hit game in his last six contests (with the first three having come with High-A Salem before his promotion), a span in which the 2012 first-rounder is hitting .409/.552/.545. In 86 combined games between the two levels this year, the 22-year-old is now hitting .259/.345/.336 — numbers that are largely in line with the .268/.358/.374 he posted in a 64-game pro debut last year with Lowell.

|Red Sox minor league roundup: Brian Johnson's perfect day; Travis Shaw's glimpse of a possible Fenway future; Xander Bogaerts, on-base machine
|07.28.13 at 2:11 pm ET
A brief look at the action in the Red Sox farm system on Saturday:
— PawSox outfielder Bryce Brentz, according to Tim Britton of the Providence Journal, underwent surgery to repair his right meniscus on July 16 that will likely end his year. Thus would end a bizarre and ultimately disappointing year in which the outfielder showed slugging potential but still showed an inconsistent approach that raises questions about the 24-year-old's future likelihood of being an everyday big league corner outfielder.
— Shortstop Xander Bogaerts went 0-for-4 but took a walk, giving him 24 straight games in which he's reached base. He has 23 walks and 28 strikeouts with Pawtucket. Surprisingly, he's walking with greater frequency (14.1 percent, compared to 13.5 percent in Double-A) and striking out less often (17.2 percent, as opposed to 19.7 percent in Double-A) than he did in Portland. That ability to demonstrate improved strike zone management against higher level competition will add further fuel to the perception that he is a player who can be challenged by the big leagues — though some team officials continue to caution that Bogaerts would benefit from more development time in Triple-A.
— Third baseman Will Middlebrooks went 1-for-4 with a walk and two strikeouts. The 24-year-old feels that he's made meaningful strides in his offensive approach, as he explained to Rob Bradford.
— Right now, the best hitter in Pawtucket is Alex Hassan. The 25-year-old went 2-for-4 with a double. He's reached base in 18 straight games, during which he's hitting .359/.468/.578 with three homers and five doubles.
— Right-hander Brandon Lyon had his best outing since signing a minor league contract with the Sox, tossing a pair of shutout innings while giving up a hit and striking out a batter.
— In the Futures at Fenway game, Travis Shaw got to showcase the swing that Sox officials have long believed is well-tailored for Fenway Park — albeit in somewhat unexpected fashion. A first baseman who, at his best, exhibits a tremendous ability to let the ball travel deep and then drive it from gap to gap had a landmark game in what has been a challenging month and season, going 3-for-4 with a single, double and homer. Shaw is hitting .226/.343/.408 this season, but he's still shown power (13) and the ability to work walks (60) even through his season-long struggle. In July, he's hitting just .183 with a .272 OBP, but he's turned up the power, going deep six times in 22 games. Read the rest of this entry »
