Gonzalez and Baldwin both 2-3. That new pairing is off to a great start.

McDaniel was an UDFA from U of Mississippi. College teammate of Calvin Harris, Elko, and Jacob Gonzalez.

Fair enough. But Baldwin does lead the Southern League in batting, and OBP. He's third in OPS. And he has a very nice 19/25 bb/K ratio. There's nothing to indicate he's going to struggle as he goes up a level. Compare that to Elko and Veras whose bb/K ratios are 5/45 and 4/45 respectively.

Sean Burke got tattooed in ACL. 5 runs in 2/3 of an inning. Wolkow 2-2 with a walk.

I bet they rotate between short and second and Baldwin gets reps at 3b. He can play 7 positions.

Thorpe is done. 5.2 1H 0R 0ER 2bb 7K. After a rough 1st inning, there was only one other base runner: an error by Baldwin.

HR Baldwin

Schultz is done 4IP 3H 2R 2ER 1bb 4K.

Thorpe struggled in the opening inning again. He threw 30 pitches a single and two walks. K's 2. 0-0. Schultz hasn't had his best stuff tonight. A couple of balls hit pretty hard. It's 2-2.

Wolkow’s HR the game winner in top of the 7th. ACL Sox win 6-5.

Wolkow HR.

Old friend Luis Mieses is 2-2 with 2 walks for the ACL Rangers. One imagines this is a tune up and they are going to send him to AA.

5-0 now. Abraham Nunez Jr. 2-2. HR by one of Sox inexhaustible supply of Hernandezes, in this case Angelo, a catcher.

Mogollon with a double then pinch run for. I imagine he is probably hurt. Too bad. He was starting to hit. 3-0 ACL Sox.

Early start for ACL. Wolkow double, Adrian Gil drives him in. Gil was arguably their bast hitter in the DSL last year and has been arguably their best hitter in the ACL so far. He plays some third, some first. I'd feel better about calling him a prospect if he could stick at third. 1-0 ACL Sox.

The Yankees caught a break missing both Fedde and Crochet. Other 3 in the Sox rotation are not happening, especially the Keller/Soroka spot.

Enjoy him while you can because the Sox are going to trade any veteran who has any value whatsoever.

I would probably need something like Emerson, Montes, and Farmelo to give up Robert. I would prefer to keep him, however.

Not even cash. Sox traded international pool space (the right to spend $) in exchange for Batista and Maximo Martinez.

If they think he is 1b only, I hope they do not pick him. Rainer and Griffin both play premium positions, Montgomery is a + right fielder. It puts way too much pressure on the bat to be taking a 1b with a top 5 pick.

Kanny has received 14 walks in 6 innings. They currently lead 16-1. Peppers 6IP 6H 1R 1ER 1bb 5K.

Baldwin was 4-4, bb, 2 SB, 3R. Guy is a winning player.

Birmingham came back to win this game. Walk off double for Wilfred Veras. 4 innings of 1 hit ball by the Barons' pen.

Wolkow 1-2 with 3bb, K, double, sb playing cf. It's the ACL, so it doesn't reveal all that much, but he's walking a ton. He's up to .385. Nice start for the kid.

I don't expect Stassi to ever don the Sox uni. That said, Chuckie Robinson would probably be better overall than Maldonado. Plus, I believe Quero will be ready for a cup of September coffee, but I don't think he has to be added to the 40 man this winter, so I doubt they do it.
