SoxAce Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Alittle shacky outing for McCarthy but 0 Wlks and 10 K's is very impressive. F. Castro continues to progress and Brice I see had a good game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipWellsFan Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Castro is only 19 years old right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted April 17, 2004 Author Share Posted April 17, 2004 McCarthy and Castro, who is 19, are going to be studs this year and in the future. 10 Ks is sick, I just hope he doesn't become Jon Rauch (really tall, K machine that doesn't do it in the bigs).

MnSoxFan Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 He could use a little wildness, he is always around the plate, and some games gets hit rather hard, maybe if he was a little wild he could keep guys from taking such good cuts, but he is not a real hard thrower.

Gene Honda Civic Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Updating how to "steal" the box score and make it look all nice... I added a picture here to explain it better... - from the boxscore on MILB.com - view sorce - scroll down to almost the very end -- - just above the <!--content area tag is the box score - just copy from the tag above the "content area" to the first tag you see above that.. - paste in between the |dohtml| UBB tags and you get the super neat boxscore.

Chisoxfn Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Tough loss for Bmac, but still solid game with 10 k's. And Castro adding another 3k's. I also see Young's average is a little low, but damn the guy has some serious power potential too. If he could put it together, you never know, he could be like a Vernon Wells type. Speed, solid arm, good defensive range, and pop in the bat. Tough comparsion to make this early in Young's development though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesox61382 Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 I am not sold on Young yet. I realize that he is one of those "potential/tool" guys who could put it all together, but I want to see some production on the field before I jump on his bandwagon. He put up some decent numbers in rookie ball, but those stats can be deceiving. A red flag goes up when I see his high strikeout totals as well. I hope for the best with him, and if he does develop, than he will add even more depth to an extreme deap outfield crop in the minors. I really think they need to get Gray's bat into the lineup. Gonzalez's star is fading fast, and he is preventing Valido from getting consistant PT at SS(his natural position), and keeping Gray from getting consistant AB's. I think they should DH Gray a little as well(giving Morris a little less PT). I think it is important to give prospects that actually have a chance to contribute at the major league level, at some point, a chance to play consistantly, especially over career minor leaguers. Its good to see Schnurstein getting off to a good start. He came out of the gates on fire in is 1st season at rookie ball, but struggled a little last year and a lot of people jumped off his bandwagon. This is a big year for him to establish himself as a top prospect. Its good to see McCarthy pitching well. His SO:BB ratios are simple amazing. I do agree that he could be a little more wild. Maybe throw a few more pitches out of the strikezone when he gets ahead in the count(although I have never seen him pitch so I could be way off). The 2 Castros are establishing themselves as two of the better relief prospects in the Sox system. Its good to see that he is pitching well.

Cali Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I'm sure this has been discussed before, but what kind of stuff does B-Mac have? What's his out pitch that is getting him all these K's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 I'm sure this has been discussed before, but what kind of stuff does B-Mac have? What's his out pitch that is getting him all these K's? Low 90's fastball that he can throw through a teacup, plus curve and a change that is coming along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MnSoxFan Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 He has real good control, puts the ball where he wants. I want to say he throws max of 92-93, but he is a 6-7 dude, so he may add some speed as he fills out. Must have a nice breaking pitch or change to get so many Ks tho.

danman31 Posted April 18, 2004 Author Share Posted April 18, 2004 Kelly Dransfeldt hit a 2-run double to give Charlotte a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the 7th. Kohlmeier is pitching well. Also Birmingham is winning 4-0, top 7, and Winston-Salem is losing (shocking) 4-2 in the top of the 9th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted April 18, 2004 Author Share Posted April 18, 2004 Charlotte beat Toledo 5-4 in 11 innings. The Knights took the lead in the 7th, added to it in the 9th with Reed and Borchard scoring. Gary Majewski and Courtney Duncan combined to blow the save and almost the game in the 9th. Scott Bikowski hit a leadoff game-winning HR in the 11th. Charlotte Box Score The Barons won 6-3 with Ruddy Yan, Aaron McNeal, and Rob Sasser with 2 hit games. Munoz is still yet to give up an earned run. Birmingham Box Score Winston-Salem lost (again) 4-2. Sweeney and Anderson both went without a hit. At least Castro and Espinal pitched well out of the pen. Winston-Salem Box Score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan is ur opinion, who is more likely to be called up to Charlotte's rotation in the future. Munoz or Meaux? They both hav had excellent starts down at Birmingham.

Rex Hudler Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Slow down dbaho.......... Munoz and Meaux have only made two starts each. Keep in mind that stats this early in the year mean squat. One hot or cold week could change a batting average 100 points. One bad outing will completely erase two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One hot or cold week could change a batting average 100 points. One bad outing will completely erase two. I'm only sayin Munoz or Meaux could be promoted if a trade gets done, and 2 guys like Rauch and Stewart are shipped out. And that won't be for a while at least. Good to see they r off to good starts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Right now its too early for any promotions, imo. As far as McCarthy goes, he's got great control and good movement on his pitches. His velocity is average right now, but he projects well. With his size as he fills out, I could easily see him adding 3 MPH on that fastball.

danman31 Posted April 18, 2004 Author Share Posted April 18, 2004 Well given the choice I think you would have to say Munoz because he already pitched at Charlotte out of the pen. I really expect Munoz to keep it up, but I'm not so sure about Meaux. It will be interesting to see how these guys continue to play. I don't know when the first promotion/demotions will be. I guess that depends on trades and injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
