QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Sep 8, 2006 -> 11:00 PM) Umm thats not entirely true.... Rauch and Majewski have been pretty successful RP's. Frankie Francisco was also very good but has been hurt but now has returned and my friend said he looks really good out there. Also Rupe has turned into a pretty good starting pitching prospect for the Rangers and actually was going to start the season in the rotation b4 injury. But next season has another good shot at doing that. And he didnt trade him but Fabio Castro has also been a successful RP for the Phillies. And Chris Young had another great season in AAA so no reason to think he wont be as good as everything thinks he will. You made his point for him. For the players we got in return Rauch and Majewski is an incredibly cheap price to pay. Francisco can not be considered a big loss at this point in time. Young is the concern but he also mentioned him.

6-2 loss for the Knights in game 2, series 1-1. Fields had both RBI on a triple. Box Score Great Falls lost 6-5 in 10. Marrero 3-5. Gilbert, Shelby, Reves (HR #8), and Grace had 2 hits each. Box Score

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 7, 2006 -> 10:52 PM) FWIW, Chris Getz finished with a .320 OBP and a .323 SLG%. But yeah, he's our future second baseman in 2008... I'm not banking on him being a good starter, or even a starter, but he did skip high A so give him a bit of a break.

QUOTE(SoxHawk1980 @ Sep 6, 2006 -> 09:50 PM) 0-6, 2 k's Please don't be surprised if Sweeney hits about .200 in his cup of coffee this year. That would be about right, consider the kind of season he had in the minors. Sweeney may develop into a good major league player, but he isn't there yet. Frankly, I don't think he's even close. Bingo! People need to realize that he was not a dominant minor league player ever. He's hovered around .300 everywhere he went. Age is one thing but if that's the excuse then he isn't ready now. Sweeney next year will likely be about the same as Anderson this year. I know most people aren't satisfied with Brian's production despite improvements.

Yeah that sinker in the 9th to end it was sick too. He had been doing pretty well in Charlotte for a rather long period of time. I'm slightly surprised they didn't want to give him a shot earlier with the current bullpen woes.

QUOTE(He_Gawn @ Sep 3, 2006 -> 11:03 AM) I take it you go to Mizzou. I was amazed by their campus when I took my visit there. Their baseball coach showed me the rec center and I about myself. Go there often? The campus is very nice, well organized for the most part. Currently there is construction in a couple areas which I'm sure you noticed, but other than that it's easy to get around. The Rec Center is awesome and probably overkill. I go there a ton, I've only been there 6 or 7 times so far this year (been here a little over 2 weeks) but I went most days last year. It's an amazing facility as you saw. SI rated it the number one rec center in the country, which is kind of unfair because it officially opened last school year.

Anybody else notice Gartrell in Birmingham? That's one heck of a large jump. Even if it's just for a short period of time, I find it a bit odd.

Mizzou trashed Murray State 47-7. Chase Daniel set a school record with 5 passing TD, clearly something Brad Smith was never capable of. It will be fun to have a real QB this year.

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Sep 1, 2006 -> 03:58 PM) The Bulls would be f***ed. Kirk Hinrich is the heart and soul of that team. I meant from USA Basketball, not the NBA.

It just continues to baffle me how these players can not win every game by about 30 to teams like Greece. Argentina or Spain would be one thing, but Greece doesn't have a single NBA player. I just don't understand it. I still say USA basketball needs to ban all players that fail to win a gold medal in a world competition. Something is obviously wrong with them if they continue to lose to a bunch of scrubs who can't even make the NBA. Greece?! How the f*** is this possible? Honestly, how? Don't give me this 'the US doesn't play team ball or doesn't shoot well' bs because they have more than enough talent to win by 40 with ease. I just don't get it.

Solid win for NU. Kafka looks solid. Iowa St. sucks.

Boring day with Charlotte and W-S rained out and Birmingham off. Kanny lost 10-2. Asheville somehow managed 10 runs on a mere 4 hits and 0 Kanny errors. Castillo 2-3, RBI, BB. Rice awful. Chirino with 3 perfect innings. Box Score Great Falls lost 4-1. Cruz 2-3, 3B, R. Box Score Bristol won 5-2. Espinal and Acosta 2-4. Box Score

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 11:51 AM) But bashing Perez is laughable, especially when stud prospects like Tom "I'm actually Rob Stratton" Collaro and poor man's David Eckstein (Getz) are placed over him. I'm not bashing Perez. He remains and old middle reliever. Middle relievers in the minors mean very little, especially before they reach AA which was the case when we made the list. I'd rate him higher now because he has shown production in AA, but I can't say I'm gitty over Perez yet.

You guys can bash all you want but the guys you are arguing in don't have pretty resumes either. Whether it be Perez being a middle reliever who was 23 and in A ball when we made the list to Rice, also a middle reliever in A ball, the guys you 'demand' to be on the list are far from hot s***.

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 28, 2006 -> 12:24 PM) No Oneli Perez. Yeah considering his continued domination in Birmingham he's the one guy I would want on the list now. We made this about a month ago so some things have changed. Egbert would probably get the nod over a few guys, Perez would definitely be on, and Collaro and Brooks would probably be bumped. Collaro and Brooks were the bottom two, and were questionable selections, but the other two have been hot while Collaro has regressed in AA and Brooks continues to be average. The point remains that the list isn't impressive no matter what.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 07:53 PM) Doesnt BA or something do an updated list at around the mid-season point of the year?

I don't have a link but they did do an updated list.
