Minor League Gamethread (4-6)

Featured Replies

Barons were rained out. Doubleheader on Sunday.

Rutherford has a double, yay, xb hit..also, looks like Booker and Call will split time early. Adolfo has a walk and single.

 

Charlotte not exactly motivating to look up unless Kopech is in action. Watching Cedeno, Ross, Gomez, Rondon fight for pen spots, I guess.

Charlotte getting destroyed by Banda.

Ah yeah, these are the Sox minor league results I am used to. Despite a wealth of talent, every level is losing, and either getting shut out or scoring one run. This feels like home.

It's in the third inning of the games and every affiliate won last night...

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story

3-1 last night, someone lost late, W-S I think

WS lost late.

 

I'm mostly joking, its a new season, some teams favor development over results in the minors, especially at the lower levels, best players on the DL, etc.

 

They do lose a lot though.

Rutherford had based loaded opportunity but Kd...

 

The top five in that lineup is fun to follow at least. Somehow they’ve managed 5-6 caught stealings in the early going this year already.

Off topic but imagine this season is do or die for Michalczewski, Hawkins, Barnum, and Alvarez

Robbie Ross Jr just got annihilated to the tune of 4 ER in 0.0 innings of work. Couldn't get an out.

 

Uh, guess he isn't coming up any time soon.

Also gonna get out in front with this one:

 

Looks like this Danish...

 

is toast

 

YAAAH

Alvarez would have to get past Anderson, Leury, Saladino, Sanchez, Cordell and two more Charlotte middle infielders just to be the last guy on the bench.

 

That said, if he can hit for enough power, he has a shot at the Saladino spot, pr, etc.

 

Adolfo 2/2 with a walk.

Adolfo 2/2 with a walk.

 

3/3 with a 2B, a walk, and 2 RBI. 6 run 7th for W-S has them on top 6-3 and Flores in line for the W.

Yrizzari with a homer and Blackman now has 2 homers in two games.

 

Actually pretty decent night for hitters outside Cordell.

 

There were nights just 2 years ago where you struggled to find any decent prospect with a good game.

Yrizarri & Forbes are both huge long-shots to amount to anything of significance, but at least they are age appropriate and more interesting than most of the positional guys we use to fill out rosters.

Hansen, Robert and Eloy...get well soon!

Surprised that neither Solorzano or Johnson is in the Kannapolis rotation (based on their relief appearances tonight). Who else down there would be in the rotation over those two?

Tyler Johnson?

 

He’s in the pen. I think hes fast tracked as a reliever.

They used him as a starter last year. Figured they’d stretch him and give him the innings like they have with other relief prospects like Nate Jones, Petricka, etc.

I think they talked about it but his BR page is showing just 25 innings in 22 games last year.

Honestly don't remember anything about Tate Blackman, but he hit 5 HR in 49 games last year in Rookie ball. He has 2 HR in 2 games this year in A-ball. Nice progression, kid.

Micah Johnson in CF for Durham.
