So much for the call up to Birmingham... https://twitter.com/jnorris427/status/371446032644988928

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 24, 2013 -> 08:25 PM) Barring injury he'll be a major league pitcher(yes I know that's a ridiculous claim at this stage), it's just a matter if he can be a starter or not. I agree. He's got great stuff. Looking forward to seeing what he can do with 27 starts next year.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 24, 2013 -> 08:18 PM) Link didn't work for me He said it's likely all three will start at Winston-Salem, and all three have a chance to reach Birmingham by the end. I just want Barnum to stay healthy for 135 games.

Danish 1 hit, 2 k's in his first inning.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 24, 2013 -> 07:15 PM) Do you guys think we can see Barnum, Anderson and May all start next year with WS? I believe Buddy Bell said yes to all this afternoon... http://chicago.cbslocal.com/audio/986-670-...-interviews#986

Buddy Bell just said Micah Johnson will be sent to Birmingham for their playoffs.

Brad Goldberg to W-S. http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=2...sp&sid=t487

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 24, 2013 -> 12:10 PM) Obviously bust is a very strong term for a 19 year old, but how many guys, no matter what level they are playing as 19 year olds do what Hawkins is doing and wind up successful? I understand he is 19 and a year out of high school, but he is not facing major league pitching or even AA pitching and the situation isn't improving as the season progresses. Maybe a clean slate next year and a few adjustments are all he needs, but i would say the odds are stacked against him. I'm pretty sure if the baseball world knew he would be hitting .182 with a strikeout rate which would make Adam Dunn blush in high A this year, he wouldn't have been drafted in the first several rounds. That was always my point too. Eh, let's see how he does in year 2 at Winston-Salem, and if he sucks again, it's over for that draft pick, and move on to the next one. Hopefully the 3rd or 4th pick next year will make up for it.

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20130824 Johnson starting tonight, and Danish expected to pitch for Kannapolis tonight.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Aug 23, 2013 -> 12:24 PM) Ugh. Good day yesterday with a bunch of bad teams winning. Unfortunately the Cubs blew a big lead. 66-96 should get the Sox the 3rd or 4th pick. So with 35 left, playing .400 ball would be good. If the Sox go 14-21, the Cubs would have to go 12-22 to tie and get the 3rd pick. Hopefully the Sox get swept by the Rangers, then whatever against the Astros, and then tank on the Boston, New York, Baltimore road trip. 3-7 at best.

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20130823 Hawkins is batting .184. Bust until he's not.

...and now within 4 games in the loss column for the 12th pick in the draft. This team can't even lose right.

Konerko scratched. Danks is playing.

Tekotte sent down. sorry, didn't realize this was old news.

Sox are within 5 games of the 11th pick in the draft. Please start losing games. Lots of games. K, thanks.

66-96 should get the Sox the 3rd pick. 17-22 or worse the last 6 weeks. If they drop under 3, that's where they're winning too much.

QUOTE (BaseballNick @ Aug 13, 2013 -> 10:31 PM) Jacob May hit another HR (6). Inside the park.

Wow, that's pretty incredible. 3 blown saves in a row. Wonder if that's ever happened before for him? edit: answer my own question. Yes, first time.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Aug 11, 2013 -> 02:00 PM) Hawk under the weather. Wimpy there to be honored today so they dragged him into the booth. Hawk was on Talkin' Baseball yesterday. He sounded real tired and slow. It was weird.

Leury Garcia is active on the Round Rock roster, but hasn't played since Thursday, so maybe they are trying to get him through waivers and he'll be moved over here in the next couple days. Hopefully there's a gentleman's agreement in the industry not to interfere in this case.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2013 -> 05:18 PM) I missed Garcia's single, was it hard hit? Not crushed, but a solid single up the middle through the infield dirt.

Michael Earley promoted and Leesman back to Charlotte. Carlos Sanchez hits the DL.

Rienzo starts Beckham, Gillaspie, Ramirez, Dunn, Konerko, Garcia CF, Danks, Phegley, Tekotte

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 10, 2013 -> 09:48 AM) Right. I just figure someone has to move up with the Knights outfield empty with Danks, Garcia and Tekotte all up in mlb They moved up Adam Heisler, who is more of an organizational filler type.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 10, 2013 -> 09:41 AM) Is Jacobs going to go to AAA? Doubt it. He's new to AA and the Barons are going to the playoffs.
