Chisoxfn Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 A Look at the 2006 Intimidators By Jason Gage FutureSox.com With the start of the minor league season just a few days away, the Intimidators have released their official opening day roster. Included on this roster are top prospects like Ricky Brooks, and Francisco Hernandez as well as a slew of guys who find themselves in that mix of players who have the potential to emerge as upper echelon prospects...MORE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 Hopefully anyone interested in the minors enjoys this. It took a lot of work for me to dig up info on some of these guys. Had to contact people for some of this stuff. I'm going to try and get up one for each team that way people can reference these pieces for info on players if they ever wonder. Did my best to find out what guys threw, etc. For the dominican guys it was insanely difficult and the people I was in contact with really had no idea either.

greasywheels121 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Good stuff Jas. I started to make an attempt to follow the farm of the Sox last season, by doing a couple AAPs. My AAPs (Cunningham and Sanchez) are both starting the season down in Kannapolis. I'll definitely have my eye on this club throughout the season.

I'll definitely have my eye on this club throughout the season. Sanchez should be fun to watch develop. He has all the tools, but needs to make adjustments and obviously succeed in his first full season. Had some what of a dissapointing 2005 campaign but the talent is there.

G&T Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Great work, thanks a lot! The guy I'm going to watch is Brandon Allen. I saw The Cheat compared his skill set to Ryan Howard, so I'm excited to see what he can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 By the way, I just realized there are a few grammatical things that need to be fixed. It was edited once, but I'm totally exhausted so I'm sure some stuff was missed. I'm going to run through it tomorrow and clean it up.

Rowand44 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Good stuff by the way. I absolutley love Cunningham and I'm very interested to see the progress of Fransisco and Brooks. Brandon Allen intrigues me as well. A lot of talent in Kanny this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Good work, Jason. Seems we've got some good position prospects, but the pitching seems a bit thin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just looks like one of those guys who knows how to hit, and getting him in the 7th round looks like an excellent pick. Hopefully Hernandez does a lot better in his 2nd stop at Kanny as well.

Heads22 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 On a side note...looking at the Knights website apparently you can watch minor league games on MLB.TV this year, as well as following them pitch by pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Kannapolis plays three games a year in my neck of the woods against Lakewood Blue Claws (Mets) and I'm hoping to check them out in person this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 QUOTE(Rex Kickass @ Apr 6, 2006 -> 12:53 PM) Kannapolis plays three games a year in my neck of the woods against Lakewood Blue Claws (Mets) and I'm hoping to check them out in person this year. I always thought the Blue Claws were the Yankees, but I might have confused them with the Trenton Thunder. It seems like Kannapolis is playing Lakewood in the first week of August for four games. Perhaps I'll make it out to one of those games.. they seem cheap enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
