QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 10, 2007 -> 09:20 AM) I'd rather he replaced Cintron, as opposed to Ozuna. But I do think he is a possibility for the team in 2008. I know very little about him. He doesn't appear to have an AAP page yet... maybe you or someone else can create one, so that we can learn more about him. I'd say he has Willie Harris-type potential. He can play probably three positions (LF, CF, 2B), he runs well, he's a terrific situational hitter. Here is a piece from MiLB.com on him: http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/news/ar...b&fext=.jsp

Little known fact: Jack Egbert was originally cast for the part of Jack Bauer in Season 1 of 24, but was dropped from the show when he successfully killed every terrorist on the planet in 22 hours and 7 minutes (including commercial breaks).

What in the world has gotten into David Cook?

I'm new to the board, but I assume that rumor mongering is frowned upon. However, I have it on good authority that Fautino De Los Santos has been promoted to A-Advanced Winston-Salem.

Casey Rogowski - Best Defensive 1B in the International League Gio Gonzalez- Best Breaking Ball in the Southern League Gio Gonzalez- Best Changeup in the Southern League Cole Armstrong- Best Defensive Catcher in the Carolina League Chris Carter- Best Power Prospect in the South Atlantic League "I could have put him down for probably four spots for the pitchers. He's tough. His stats speak for themselves. This is a pretty good hitting league this year, and the stats he runs up.....His offspeed is his bread and butter, he knows how to pitch, knows how to use it, calls his own game, and seems to know what he can and can't do. He dealt against us. His stuff is outstanding and he has command but also control of his breaking ball in the strike zone. If it's 0-2, he will bounce it, he's got a 2-0 get-me-over variety, and he did this all game. He has a major league feel to pitch." ---Chattanooga manager Jayhawk Owens on LHP Gio Gonzalez

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jul 29, 2007 -> 09:43 PM) can someone find me a better duo in the minors then Jack and Gio this season? Gio: 3.04 ERA | 7-5 W-L | 115.1 IP | 142 SO Eggy: 2.57 ERA | 11-7 W-L | 133 IP | 135 SO Gio & Eggy: 2.81 ERA | 18-12 W-L | 248.1 IP | 277 SO The only one that would be close, IMHO, would be two from the Horne/Chamberlin/Kennedy trio climbing the Yankees ladder. The won-loss total for those two guys is outrageous when you look at the other numbers. Has to be frustrating.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jul 29, 2007 -> 04:14 PM) ...the low-ceilinged Oneli.... Maybe this is a naive question, but how high a ceiling do you expect from a relief pitcher? Furthermore, how much more can Perez do to raise his ceiling, considering he's dominated every level since entering the organization? To me, he seems like a guy that could be helping in Chicago very shortly.
