Carter has 10k's and 0bb's through 5IP

Charlotte v. Norfolk Birmingham v. Mississippi Winston-Salem v. just regular Salem Kanny v. Lakewood Bristol v. Burlington GF v. Ogden

lets go nice and slow with him so we can have him for the entire second half

QUOTE (SHIPPS @ Jul 6, 2009 -> 11:53 AM) I dont understand why he uses the term "bush league attitude". Is it just to get attention for someone to read. I must be missing something. he's saying bush league attitude to refer to his passion and desire for the game as opposed to manny's couldn't care less attitude

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 5, 2009 -> 08:12 AM) The Sox took awhile with Beckham, too. My guess Mitchell signs a week before the Aug. 15 deadline. He will probably start in Kanny just like Gordon did. They probably want to give the kid a break after non-stop sporting activity this year (from football to baseball, how many days off has he actually had?) didn't play football this season

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 4, 2009 -> 06:49 PM) Am I the only person who finds it strange that KW Jr. only DH's? My guess is that it is so he can focus solely on hit hitting which by all accounts is his weakest tool.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 02:16 PM) He's still raking: .339/.387/.688 6 HR 33 RBI 5 2B 8 3B Think it's about time to move him back to Bristol? I'm sure his D is still raw, but good to see him mashing.... He has 8 errors so far which would put him on pace for approximately 50 in a 162 game season. Maybe a move to 3B or a corner OF spot is in his near future.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 07:27 PM) Kroeger sucks in the field, that's been known for a while. Thanks for the observations though! He has 9 E's in the outfield so far this season. That's pretty awful for any outfielder let alone a corner OF.

Dan Remenowsky has 53K's and just 7BB in 30.2 IP. 2.05 ERA and .191 BAA, not bad for an undrafted FA. Anyone know what kind of stuff he has??? Those are damn impressive numbers.

Kanny finally broke up the no hitter with a single by Jorge Castillo

Charlotte v Durham B-Ham v Mobile W-S v Lynchburg Kanny v Hagerstown Nevin Griffith getting his first start at low A Bristol v Johnson City there, its done

Buster Olney on Chapman

Miguel Gonzalez- 18 year old catcher for Bristol with his first homer on the season. He was awesome last year in the DSL and is off to a great start in Bristol. I think that he will be someone to follow.

Phegley recently signed for $888,600 and is starting his pro career at Kannapolis. Short scouting video Looks like he runs pretty well for a catcher. From baseballdraftreport.com from pgcrosschecker.com from sportingnews.com

Charlotte v Buffalo B ham v Mississippi W-S v Frederick Kanny v Hickory Bristol v Princeton GF v Billings hasn't started yet

Saw a blurb today that said Mitchell was close to signing and should be inked within next few days. Don't really feel like looking for the source though, you're just going to have to take my word for it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 22, 2009 -> 06:21 PM) Actually it could be, didn't B-Ham just wrap up its playoff spot right at the time all those promotions happened? Yes, there were promotions across all levels of our minor league system when Allen got moved up. It was completely a coincidence. He's not ready for the majors yet and should spend at least a half season in AAA. Probably will get some AB's as a sept callup but he needs to get his AB's in AAA before we can start anointing him as our future 1b.

They still have Lowrie as their future SS and won't really be willing to give up Bucholz for anything less than a major return. They seem to think that he's an elite talent, an #1 starter type and probably wouldn't give him up for one + year of Dye unless we threw in a top prospect along the lines of Poreda as well.

Viciedo getting an intentional walk. That's good to see him getting some respect with a runner in scoring position

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Jun 18, 2009 -> 09:09 PM) Edit: BTW what has gotten into Justin Greene? He seems to be putting himself on the map. Anyone have a brief scouting report on this guy? I've seen him mentioned alongside other toolsy OF'ers like Morales, Gerst, etc. but don't know anything else about him other than his stats which seem to say he doesn't like being in the same place very long. I've been talking this guy up for a while, I think he deserves a promotion because he's been killing the ball in Kanny all year with an ops near 900

The Kanny game turned into a bean ball fest. Greene got HBP 3 times, Sauer and Oneil retaliated each time it looks like.

QUOTE (He_Gawn @ Jun 15, 2009 -> 02:24 PM) Mariotti just ripped Ozzie for this on ATH. He stated Ozzie's act of saying this every year is getting "stale". The host asked him if he was going to say that to Ozzie's face and Mariotti said yes, if Ozzie would come pay him a visit. I hope Ozzie does just that. QUOTE (wilmot825 @ Jun 15, 2009 -> 03:06 PM) Hineybird runs his mouth on TV but when the host asked him if he'd visit Ozzie, Hineybird replies "he should come see me." Wow this guy is such a little weasel. He should learn from the phrase "don't write checks with your mouth that your body can't cash." Seriously, a couple of reporters trying to antagonize a former pro athlete. A fairly unstable one at that. They'd get their lunches handed to them

Here's some good info on them

Charlotte v. Pawtuckett postponed Birmingham v. Mississippi Viciedo 3-4 with a HR and 3 RBI 1BB W-S v. Fredrick W-S shutout but Hudson had another nice game Kanny v. West Virgin Justin Greene 1-3 2BB 2SB. He's hitting .318/.405/.494/.899 and 8SB playing CF. I think that he needs to be promoted to A+ but there's a bit of a logjam there in CF. He's definitely shown all that he has to show in Kanny though.

Why is Gerst hardly playing? Is he fighting injuries or do they just not think that he's got the goods?
