QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 03:03 PM) Anthony Villa starting at 3B in Kannapolis is interesting. I wonder if he can actually play there. His error in the 1st already cost them 1 of the 2 runs given up in that inning.

Cordell to DL, Alvarez (SS) off DL

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Apr 14, 2018 -> 03:01 AM) Great to see most of the guys off to good starts. Anyone know anything about Palka? Could he push his way to majors this year? Palka was a beast at Georgia in the NCAA, he killed the Illini in the postseason one year. Power hitter for sure, Twins liked him but seemed to sour on him

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 14, 2018 -> 02:03 AM) Basto and Hawkins are the obvious candidates to give way. Polo should be playing everyday. Basabe and Booker will be the ones to be pushed first, as Rutherford needs a full High A season to prove himself. Adolfo eventually to test his bat at a higher level, but that would take at-bats from Zavala or Collins. Can Basto and Hawkins take Barnum with them when they go!! Some will say they are not blocking anyone, and they maybe are not, but get somebody off waivers to at least contribute.

I live in Rochester, Mn, about 60 miles South of Twin Cities. We had rain all day yesterday, then about 3-4 inches of snow overnight and winds are gusting up to 45 mph. Today is supposed to be ice rain and Sunday more snow. Temps about 30. I highly doubt we get a game in.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Apr 11, 2018 -> 10:28 PM) I don't know any of these Kanny hitters but they have put up some impressive numbers Yep, Cruz is only one under .300 in todays lineup, early season averages.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 11, 2018 -> 06:27 PM) http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20180411 Kanny already done. Knights currently playing. Another nice start for Lincoln Henzman. surprised they let him pitch into the 7th, but thru 6 he threw 68 pitches with 53 strikes if I recall correctly. He gave up 3 or his 4 runs in the 7th. McRee gets another win in relief.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 07:40 PM) Hawkins isn't holding anyone back. And they shouldn't promote someone a week into the season. When they think a guy is ready in W-S they won't keep them there because Hawkins. They already had to promote Fisher before he really showed he was ready. That's the case with all of them, none really showed they were ready for AA, many showed they were ready for High-A. Hawkins has never shown he is ready for AA either

Kanny called up Zach Lewis from extended ST to replace Von Ruden

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Apr 6, 2018 -> 01:00 AM) What;s up with Olson and Davis on the DL? TJS? Davis is a knee, should be back this year. Olson is TJS and out for the season

QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 12:50 PM) Geez, Barnum is 0 for 10 with 8 K's. He and Hawkins both went 0-4 with 4 Ks. It is so long past time to cut bait. It is not like we do not have replacements ready to promote, especially the outfield.

Micah Johnson in CF for Durham.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 7, 2018 -> 12:15 AM) It's in the third inning of the games and every affiliate won last night... 3-1 last night, someone lost late, W-S I think

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 5, 2018 -> 02:53 PM) Has anyone actually determined who maintains that spreadsheet, and how? Not sure whether or not to believe it. Appears to me to be right on the money. Updated so quickly it is like it is tied into the league offices or something.
