QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 4, 2013 -> 09:41 PM) Good catch. I saw Sierra, but Carroll was one of those guys floating around. Kyle Bellamy is probably on a DL somewhere too. It's a shame about him. I thought he had a good chance. Bellamy is also on the DL at Birmingham via their website roster.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 4, 2013 -> 08:25 PM) I think those were a bit older. That said I'm still missing a few other names just hanging in no-man's land as far as I know. I saw Birmingham put a couple players on DL. Carroll and Sierra are for sure.

Got my new BA today in the mail, add Brandon Parrent as a released player along with Umberger, Hanna etc... that was listed last week on a post.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 04:40 PM) OK, here is the actual roster. A few surprises to me. In addition to Wilkins, who is behind a crowd as wite mentioned... Short is back in AA, crowded out also apparently. Kussmaul back in AA too. All three of those guys should be playing at AAA, ideally, and probably will as the season goes on if all goes well for them. Wilkins may play 3B.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 1, 2013 -> 04:10 AM) I'm too lazy to give the links, but according to their own twitter posts Mitchell to AAA, Walker to AA, Hawkins to high-A. Also looks like Kanny's roster has been posted. http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?t...ue&sid=t487 That is not the roster for opening day. That is just a wintertime roster, read the words at the bottom of the roster Please note these rosters are for off-season purposes and do not necessarily reflect actual Opening Day rosters. Players will be assigned to Minor League teams at the conclusion of Spring Training.

QUOTE (floridafan @ Jan 10, 2013 -> 11:50 PM) A $1000.00 signing bonus with 25% withheld due to being construed as "special compensation". League minimum of about $1400 per month pre tax in season only while a rostered player. Believe me it is a tough row to hoe! Family support is critical for the first several years when working with those numbers! My guy has an off season job, which is very fortunate given the economy we are living through. But his focus needs to remain being prepared for Spring Training, which requires hours of work each day as well. All my best to Jason Coats! Welcome aboard! I hope you have an outstanding season! I loved watching my 2 kids grow up, marry, have kids etc.... However, I did not have one who was a good enough ball player to get a shot. Glad you are in position to be able to help out when he needs it. Enjoy every chance you get to see him play and I hope his journey takes him to the Sox eventually. Good luck!!

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Dec 11, 2012 -> 01:30 AM) Does anyone have a Baseball America on-line subscription? Today's edition lists the AL 11th best prospects, just wondering who it lists for the Sox. They listed about 10 players, none of them from the Sox. Some teams had multiples.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 15, 2012 -> 03:27 PM) How did he do in Japan? I know he was doing well for a while. Google is quite simple http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/p...id=doyle-005joh

We need a 1Bman for W-S next year, Black will be promoted, and Bucker nor Pangilinan is going to be our 1Bman there I hope.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 15, 2012 -> 02:39 PM) Game from the 13th... Surprise 10, Salt River 2 Wilkins: 2-4, 2B, R, K, SB Tr Thompson: 0-3, 2 K S Sanchez: 0.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K Ta Thompson: 1 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K Among those who have played 3 games or more for Salt River, Andy Wilkins is leading the team in AVG (.462), SLG (.846) and OPS (1.308). 3 games is a very small sample of course, but, nice to see him starting off well. Salt River plays today (Monday) at 1:35pm Central time. Should see Sanchez in the lineup, possibly see Santos Rodriguez pitching. Hmmmm, Thompson batter last. Hope that is not an indication of what the mgr thinks about his bat.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 20, 2012 -> 02:35 PM) I'm guessing either a new pitch or a new arm slot. Pretty sure it was due to finally being healthy. He missed most of the 1st half of the season.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 14, 2012 -> 02:43 PM) So I'd assume Morel will be on the bench tomorrow as a backup? Let me fix that for you. So I'd assume Morel will be on the bench tomorrow as a spectator?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 23, 2012 -> 02:17 PM) http://www2.journalnow.com/sports/2012/aug...ats-ar-2541415/ Thanks

Anyone know why Walker was pulled?

Devenski is the PTBNL in the trade with the Astros. DeWayne Wise signed and assigned to Charlotte.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 3, 2012 -> 03:24 PM) Why? They released McPherson, I am assuming to make room for Brent. Morel was activated by Charlotte this morning.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 03:46 PM) Our boys went 0-6 yesterday. Charlotte's win not count?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 26, 2012 -> 06:59 PM) Why? And if you were to choose a RH reliever to come up next, who would you choose? Heath

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 11:25 PM) Unless I'm mistaken, the option (and the related buyout) aren't even in play unless he finishes X number of games. And barring some sort of significant injury or Reed going straight to crap, Myers isn't going to get enough opportunities to trigger the option. Thus, the Sox aren't on the hook for anything. I am guessing if he stays in the pen he easily pitches in 20 games yet and I think that is more than enough to get the larger buyout. Since they pitched him just 1/3 of an inning last night it makes me think they are not too worried about it.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 6, 2012 -> 07:58 PM) That name doesn't ring a bell. The only knee injury I could find was a 15th rounder in 09 out of a Florida HS, Dane Williams, but the Sox didn't sign him. Pretty sure it is Nachreiner, had some physical problem with his knee, being degenerative. Scared all the clubs off, Sox decided to give it a try. He did not last too long if I recall.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 6, 2012 -> 07:21 PM) That would be news to me and would be odd for a high school kid taken in the 4th round, but that doesn't mean you're wrong. BA's draft day scouting report doesn't mention it, but they also only had a short report on him. We took a kid from a Texas HS, hard thrower with poor knees, in about the 4th or 5th round. Not Heidenreich, let me see if I can find it, something like Niedenfeur?? Matthew J Nachreiner, 5th rounder in 2003 is who I bet he is thinking of.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 21, 2012 -> 05:51 PM) What, no thread? Two games yesterday, plus one PPD... Columbus beat Charlotte in 10 innings, 5-3 Fuku 1-5, 3B, K (rehab so far: 2-for-10, 1 BB, 3 K) Dan Johnson 2-4, 2B, BB Conor Jackson 4-5, 2B, RBI (since returning from DL: 5-for-14, 2 2B, 2 BB, 2 K) Shirek 5 IP, 10 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 5 K Remenowsky 2.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K (2012 AAA debut) Omogrosso took the loss Great Falls beat Helena, 11-7 Chris McFarland (SS), Larry Roenicke (LF) and Michael Nemeth (DH) all with 3 hits No top end picks playing on offense yet Casey 6 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K (W) Bowling and Dvorsky both hit around a bit Bristol PPD Might want to list Great Falls hitters next time, thanks.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 05:41 PM) Speaking of that... one of my AAP's, Keegan Linza, is apparently now a starter? Or at least at this point he is. Might just be keeping the spot warm. Had a decent outing. Read in the Great Falls paper that Brian Drahman (the pitching coach there) said Linza earned it with his pitching. Said his control has been outstanding.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 17, 2012 -> 02:45 PM) The Knights drew 12 walks in that game. Wow. Charlie Shirek, after disappearing from the prospect radar like 1.5 years ago, so far in Charlotte as their OD starter in 3 games: 15 K vs 2 BB, 17 H in 17 IP. Is he back to being a guy worth watching? Heidenreich looking very nice in his first two starts. Shirek needs to show he can stay healthy for a full season. Doubt he is being "watched" to closely by the majors.

QUOTE (oldsox @ May 26, 2011 -> 03:07 PM) Wes Whisler??? KW, Jr is back. Wore the collar, left lots of runners on base. Agreed, that is just sickening
