QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 09:17 AM) Honestly I have no idea how that process works. Do they hear something like that first hand from someone in the Sox organization, or do they hear it from their current teams people? Do the players usually get told something is temporary until so and so comes off of the DL, or whatever? Who for the Sox is in charge of moving minor league players around when the situation arises? I don't know, but I think everyone thought he'd be up longer than 7 games. He's effectively being blocked by Gookie Dawkins and Drew Garcia.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 18, 2011 -> 08:14 AM) Did they tell him he was up for good or make him some sort of a promise? Obviously they didn't. But, I'm sure eveyone assumed he was. They took his picture in Charlotte, Kyle Shelton switched to his jersey. I think everyone was shocked that he was sent back down so soon.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 17, 2011 -> 12:16 PM) What, giving up an apartment after being called up? He's not exactly made a million dollars. Keeping an apt. in birmingham after moving to charlotte is a decent expense. He probably lived near the stadium in Hoover, so yes, it was probably expensive. I use to live a few miles from there and it wasn't cheap.

Still not announced officially by the White Sox, nor has he been added to the Charlotte roster either.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 16, 2011 -> 07:18 PM) Kuhn 2-2, now at .373. They really need to give him more of a look in Charlotte than the lousy 7 games he just returned from. The IL and Southern League aren't that far apart. Apparently he was very pissed and still is about being demoted. He and his wife had given up their leased apartment when he went up to Charlotte. Now they're living with another couple. The White Sox at least had the decency to fly him back, albeit on a red eye, to Birmingham.

Didn't Doug Davis beat some kind of cancer?

On the DL according to Baseball America.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 01:27 PM) They only gave him 7 games in Charlotte, which seems kinda weird. Maybe he'll be back up there soon, or maybe not. Exactly. 7 games doesn't determine anything.

When Flowers moved up, I figured that Phegley would move up to Charlotte. I don't think it's a bad idea to move him up now. When you have the oppurtunity to see what a prospect can do at a higher level, then you move them up.

He also made the Deadspin top 100 worst baseball players list, he was number 9.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 07:45 AM) That's an aggressive move upwards for Phegley. Has he been hitting well enough to belong in AAA? Around .250, but the power numbers are good.

On the kids menu at Zaxby's, they have a meal called the "Kiddie Finger." For those of you who don't know, Zaxby's specializes in chicken fingers. There's just something wrong with that name, 'Kiddie Finger." Maybe it's just me, I don't know.

Is it weird that Lynchburg 1B Joseph Terdoslavich is a doubles machine?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 08:27 PM) So is Dayan in Charlotte does anyone know? Do we have a scoop? He was in SLC last night, two hour difference from Charlotte. Probably had major jet lag. Plus, he played the entire game.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 10:03 PM) Almost magic that he went back down and got 2 hits right away. The Barons do have 3 guys on the DL so maybe they just needed another body and the Sox thought this would be a good way for Kuhn to clear his head after the slump. The Barons needed a boost too, they've been slumping like crazy.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 08:09 PM) Tyler Kuhn back in B'Ham lineup tonite. They didn't give him much of a look in Charlotte - only 7 games. Kind of a raw deal. Do we really need to see more of Gookie D or Drew Garcia? Fixed.

Josh Phegley to Charlotte Tyler Kuhn to BHam Christian Marrero to DL KW Jr. to DL Justin Greene activated Tyson Corley to BHam Dallas McPherson activated

QUOTE (scenario @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 08:57 PM) He's playing for the Braves AAA team. Won the HR derby.

Wes Whisler moved to Kannapolis. That clears one roster spot in Charlotte.

According to the Knights Twitter, Joe Bisenius is starting Saturday. That means he's coming off the DL. Charlotte's roster is full and they're in need of a back up catcher. Birmingham has one open roster spot and has 3 catchers. Bisenius is activated, one of the catchers goes up to Charlotte and two players go down to Birmingham perhaps? Maybe Tyson Corley and Drew Garcia return to Birmingham.

I'm not sure why Phegley and Marrero aren't playing. Two games in a row now that they've both missed. Of course, no one cares that KW Jr. hasn't played either.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 10:13 PM) I'm hoping the Walker draft pick serves as a kick in the ass for Mitchell. Fixed.

QUOTE (LayelBurton @ Jul 10, 2011 -> 01:42 PM) Jared Price assigned to Charlotte Knights Freddy Dolsi activated from DL And Jared is back with Birmingham today.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 11, 2011 -> 01:17 PM) Charlotte on ASB; Kanny and Bristol also off. Barons @ Jackson Doyle Dash @ Salem 6:05 Serafin Voyagers @ Helena 8:05 Gehle Doyle got shelled.
