September 3, 200520 yr Charlotte loses 5-4 to Richmond. Box. Diaz takes loss, gives up 5 in 6. Toca had 2 hits, one of which stayed in the park. Anderson o-fer. Birmingham beats 2nd place Jacksonville 2-1. Box. Tracey gets the win, pitches 8 strong, 2 BB, 3 K. Rogo left the premises, Sweeney and Fields with two hits, including a double for each. Sweeney is up to .293 on the season - he's really finishing strong. Great to see he's making the adjustments. Birmingham can clinch the second half title with a victory overy Jax Saturday... http://www.minorleaguebaseball.com/app/clu...d=milb&cid=t247 Winston-Salem beats Kinston 5-2. Box. Nanita three hits, Valido 2 hits, including a double. Rodriguez picks up the victory - he gave up 3 hits over 8, walking 2 and K'ing 5. 12 victories for Rodriguez. Kannapolis loses to Asheville 6-2. Box. Nobody more than a hit for Kanny. Baker gives up 4 runs in relief to ruin a pretty good outing by Egbert - 6 innings, 2 runs, 0 BB and 8 k's. Great Falls beats Billings 10-7. Box. The spread around the hits pretty well. Moviel picks up the win, pitching a nice 5 innings, with only 1 run, walking 2 and striking out 6. He's 3-1 with an ERA a shade under 4. Bristol's season is done. (30-36, second place by 17.5 games).
September 3, 200520 yr Very happy about Sweeney. IMO this guy is legit and I think he'll be the White Sox RF full time after Jermaine Dye's contract expires. Sweeney is playing with a cranky wrist and yet he's finishing very strong, playing good defense, and being consistent. At age 20 and handling AA it shows he's got a very bright future.

September 4, 200520 yr It's hard to judge power numbers for prospects. I wouldn't completely label him a guy lacking power yet.
