Pawtucket Red Sox

Inside F-

The players are about 12 feet below you in dugouts you need to tie your binder or milk carton to a piece of string and lower it down. This strategy is terrible for getting pawtucket guys as there are about 40 little kids hanging cartons down. On the visitors its completely a toss up sometimes you can call guys sometimes they give you the " I gotta warm up " and even sometimes you'll pull up your binder right before the game get find signatures of guys you didnt even see grab your item.

Outside D- ..... with Rick Medeiros effect in full force F--

If I was asked this question last season it would be a solid B+ rating. Pawtucket used to be good for autographs all the years I've done it except this year.... the entire team signed and most guys loved doing it. I have gotten many big names down there from Ryan Howard to David Wright to Jonathan Papelbon but this year is a totally different story. This year Pawtucket has its best roster it has ever been with prospects that is... IMO. It consists of Clay Buchholz, Jacoby Ellsbury, Brandon Moss, George Kottaras, David Murphy ( who just got traded to Texas in the Gagne deal ) , Jed Lowrie, and Craig Hansen to name some big guys. They loved signing at the beginning of the year but it got worse because they kept seeing the same people every day as for their autograph. It is now August and starting in the middle of July the Pawtucket known wonder Rick Medeiros has all the players that are prospects park in the fenced cage with no access. Pawtucket is getting so pathetic they have to sneak guys out back doors even when there is only like 5 people waiting for a specific guy sometimes. As for visitors they aren't bad after the game although as of late for the last month outside there is about 50 people average waiting for autographs. Before the game it ranges from 2-10 people depending on what team and if the game is a day game.

Connecticut Defenders

Inside A

Complete access to players all are friendly... great for taking photos of players

Outside B+

you gotta pick a side to get guys either Defenders or visitors... if you try to attempt both its almost impossible. Guys are still really nice outside though

hope this helps
