QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 15, 2009 -> 03:10 PM) Another reason to think something is afoot with the catchers in the system - Luis Sierra, a natural shortstop, played a full game at C today for Kanny. They have two catchers on the roster already. Weird. Actually, Phegley is the only catcher on Kanny's roster right now.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 15, 2009 -> 12:51 PM) Oh, I know it's not reliable. I'm just passing that along. Plus, that would put Charlotte over the roster limit. Charlotte gets back to action tomorrow, but B'ham resumes play tonight. So, we may not know until tomorrow what's up with Lucy and Armstrong.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 15, 2009 -> 12:50 PM) Are you going by what is on MiLB.com? That's not too reliable. No way they keep all three in Charlotte. One of Armstrong or Lucy has to get sent down, traded or released. Oh, I know it's not reliable. I'm just passing that along. Plus, that would put Charlotte over the roster limit.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 15, 2009 -> 12:36 PM) I'm guessing Armstrong got traded in that case. He's still on Charlotte's roster too.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 15, 2009 -> 11:44 AM) Yes. And Ricks went back to W-S. Lucy's back in Charlotte, Ricks is back in B'ham. Don't know what's going on.

If it's a girl, then I'm keeping her away from ballplayers.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Jul 14, 2009 -> 09:58 PM) LOL, it looks like a Ninja Turtle in there. Congrats though. How young is too young when it comes to batboy duties with the Barons? Leonardo, definitely. It'll be a while, I think the age is at least 13.

They could also be like their dad and be a grinder who does whatever it takes to get on base and steals a ton of bases. I'm sure the White Sox will still be looking for a lead off hitter in 20 years.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 14, 2009 -> 06:36 PM) Possible PEDS? It's all on the up and up.

QUOTE (bighurt4life @ Jul 14, 2009 -> 06:07 PM) I'd say that he's very projectable, lots of room on his frame to fill out still so he could conceivably add some velocity to his fastball in the next couple of years. I'd take a late round flyer on him and see what develops. Maybe a lefty with a wicked knuckle curve that falls off the table?

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 14, 2009 -> 05:47 PM) Looks like a left fielder. Being my kin, then yes.

Maybe the next Slayer? "Profile"

Trading Flowers would be a huge mistake.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jul 14, 2009 -> 11:59 AM) Im pretty sure JPN was never impressed with his stuff at AA. Maybe im wrong. I wasn't impressed, but he did pitch well and the numbers don't lie. He deserved the promotion. He didn't strike me as spectacular, but that really doesn't mean much. He was always used in long/middle relief, so I'm not sure how he would do as a closer.

You're watching that???

QUOTE (Cali @ Jul 13, 2009 -> 11:01 AM) Thank God. Those sideburns were douche-tastic.... Hey, sometimes they can be slimming on a large head, like mine.

While Charlotte is on it's all star break, Colon and Quentin will continue their rehab assignments with the Intimidators. Article

He won't be available on Sundays, he'll be at confession.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 13, 2009 -> 09:31 AM) The time before that, two weeks later, he was in the majors. I can't help but feel a sense of trepidation. Especially considering it's the middle of July and the White Sox are pushing.

How do you honestly feel about the middle aged ladies who stalk you and all the players, all the wives and girlfriends, all the families and take loads and loads of pictures during the game and wherever you guys go to party? Seriously ask him all that, I'm dying to know.

Whoa, put on the brakes. The last time this happened, two weeks later, the guy was traded...

I'm glad I got his autograph the other day.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 10:22 PM) Flowers is really sure of himself, confident in his abilites. He's made enormous strides this season and has deserved every promotion he's gotten. This moves up his ETA by at least a couple of months if not sooner. They wait to promote Flowers until AFTER the all star break, but not David Cook?

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 10:09 PM) One thing hasn't been mentioned... It looks like the sideburns WILL NOT accompany Flowers to Charlotte. Yeah, he went space monkey a few weeks ago.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 12, 2009 -> 11:03 PM) I'm trying to set up an interview with Dan Hudson over facebook... wish me luck. I see him all the time, do you want me to try and get an interview?
