June 30, 200520 yr ATO: Charlotte Moves, All-Star News, a Familiar Face, and More Ryan Wing claimed off waivers from Texas ESPN Radio 1000 in Chicago reported that the White Sox claimed LHP Ryan Wing off waivers from Texas. Wing was a 2nd round draft pick of the Sox in 2001 and lived up to his high draft pick early in his pro career. He was 12-7 with a 3.78 ERA in 2002 for Kannapolis and the following year he was 9-7 with a 2.98 ERA for Winston-Salem. After 2003 he was one of the top pitching prospects in the organization. Unfortunately he missed all of 2004 because of shoulder surgery. Wing was left off the 40-man roster of the Sox and Texas claimed him. However, he struggled mightily for high A Bakersfield of the California League. In 12 appearances (11 starts) the 23 year-old went 25 with an ugly 6.93 ERA. In 50.2 IP Wing struck out only 33 and walked 36. While the California League is a hitters’ league, those numbers aren’t pretty anywhere. It would appear that he will have to come out of the pen for Winston-Salem as the Warthogs already have a full rotation and then some. more...

July 1, 200520 yr The Charlotte Knights roster online says we picked up Wilton Guerrero, who is a can of alphabet soup away from Vladdy.

Luby seen Dr. Andrews today so we shall see. not good for him no matter what The Charlotte media guy told us he was back to Bham and he's back on the Barons roster on milb.com. I guess they put him back on the roster but wanted him on the Barons DL.
July 1, 200520 yr I read some where that Nik went up for 2 games but didn't get to play and then they sent him back down. I'm confused.

Yeah, that's what I read so I put it in the article. It's right. He's listed on every Barons roster (barons.com milb.com). Since he's hurt he may not be in Birmingham with the team.
