August 25, 200619 yr Egbert with another pretty strong outing for B-Ham, and BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE (54 k's and 12 bb in 40.2 IP at AAA) with a perfect 9th and 2 k's for the save at Charlotte. Nice. Edited August 25, 200619 yr by whitesoxfan101
August 25, 200619 yr Do you think Boone will get a sept call up? and do you think it will be him or tracey for next year out of the chi sox pen? or both provided we don't resign riske.

Nice. He's been nothing short of dominant since he was sent down. Edited August 25, 200619 yr by Jordan4life_2006

Logan will be a really nice asset for the Sox in September. I wouldn't even be surprised if someone like Neal Cotts ended up "hurt" right before the playoff roster, and Logan ended up on it.

That just doesn't sound like something he'd do. Cotts has been a guy he's counted on for two years and while he's entered a major funk as of late, he'll get through it sooner or later.
August 25, 200619 yr Gage - I was the first one to tell you about Eggy. I also agree with you RE: Cotts.

Tis true, I knew who he was but you pointed out he was doing good. I'm falling behind right now though since I was out of town a ton the past month or didn't have internet access cause I'm lost on how some of the minor leaguers are doing.

Check out new player profiles on MILB.com. They're keeping splits now.

August 25, 200619 yr I love the new profiles and such on MILB, great stuff. Can somebody give me some more info on Egbert, like what kinda stuff he throws? And I still think Ricks is done Heads, he turns 24 in 4 weeks.
August 25, 200619 yr Really lovin' the new stuff at MILB. For example, with Ryan Sweeney this year (small sample sizes, beware), while he has seven less homers on the road, he also has seven more doubles. And his OBP is ten points higher on the road, too. I mentioned this in a thread earlier, too, but his OPS has also improved month-to-month. This year, his OPS is down about twenty points from last month, but a.) there's still time and b.) last month was his season best, .857. He's at a respectable (for his age) .830 OPS in August, and just below .800 for the season. It'd be a nice accomplishment to finish the season with an .800 OPS (.300/.350/.450). And, while that isn't a particularly great line, especially for a team's (arguable) top prospect, I'm glad to see the performance start to back the scouts' projections.
August 25, 200619 yr Author If you look at the splits for Charlotte and Birmingham you'll notice that while the smaller parks help power they kill average and therefore OBP so Sweeney having a higher OBP on the road is the norm.
