And Charlotte's season mercifully comes to an end. What a disaster of a year for them.

Arnie Munoz....starter or reliever?

 

Joe Borchard...trade bait or 4th outfielder for next year??

 

Ryan Sweeney....AAA promotion or another year at Birmingham to develop some power???

I don't think Borchard will be in the organization next year.

Yeah, but maybe Jim Bowden wants another toolsy OF'er. We'll take the rights to Ryan Zimmerman come next June for JoBo...

Young with three more hits, three runs, a SB, and a ribbie. Sorry for what could have been for you guys in Cincy - well no, I'm not.

Tied for 7th all time with Maggs in the record books for most doubles. Also led the southern league in runs scored and homers.

Amazing... a .916 OPS in Birmingham.

 

Improvement throughout the whole season. Gotta love it.

 

Our minor league system is finally getting a little more stable. Next year will be huge, however, telling us whether our farm system goes from good-to-great. Two out of Liotta/Broadway/Gonzalez, preferably all three, need to succeed in their shots at Birmingham.

I'm kinda sad that the season is over.

Playoffs my man. Birmingham and Kannapolis are in, Winston-Salem I don't know because they are tied.

That's true. This might be a really dumb question. But do any of the post-season games come on tv?

WS has a one game playoff with Salem.

Young is gonna hit a walkoff in the SL championship

Munoz - only chance in the bigs is as a reliever. Looks as if Arnie didn't take well to not getting called up. His last two starts were terrible.

 

Borchard - more than likely he'll be traded in the off-season, which could include up to the end of Spring Training

 

Sweeney - repeat AA, at least 1/2 season, more likely a full season

Owens would have had his 39th steal today, but he slid past the bag after being safe on a steal attempt and got tagged out.

 

Rogowski and Sweeney have gotten hot at just the right time.... Rogowski has hit in 9 of his last 10 games. Sweeney has 33 RBI in his last 202 AB's after having only 14 in his first 227. Both have hit Jacksonville pitching well of late.

 

Other notes: Don't quote me on it, but I believe Antoin Gray was released. He is no longer on the Birmingham roster. Christian Acosta replaced him.

 

Also, quietly Frazier Dizard was added to Birmingham's roster a couple of weeks ago.

Rex, is there any chance Chris Getz would get called up to Birmingham for the playoffs? He's clearly better than his competition, but I'm not sure how to judge whether or not now would be an appropriate time...?

I would doubt it during a playoff.

No, the playoff roster is set...
