Cali Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 I was just looking at the probable's for tomorrow's games, and Kris is listed as the starter for B'Ham. EDIT: I just read that it's just a spot start for Cotts because of the Futures Game. Oh well, soon Kris, Soon. http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/Stats...nd_AAsthn.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aboz56 Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 I'd expect Honel to be called up to AA at the end of the season, start next season in AA and have a shot at arriving in U.S. Cellular by late 2004 or the start of 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Ya, Honel will be in AA sometime this year and then next year he'll probably pitch at 3 levels (AA, AAA and the majors). Especially if the Sox aren't in contention late next season as Honel could come up and gain some experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted July 12, 2003 Share Posted July 12, 2003 Hopefully he does well enough to warrant a spot on the AA team later in the year. I don't want them to rush him, but it's time he goes up to AA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted July 14, 2003 Author Share Posted July 14, 2003 From cs.com Hmmmmmm.... The rising Kris Honel, the Sox's first-round pick in 2001, was promoted to Double-A Birmingham after going 7-5 with a 2.43 ERA at Class A Winston-Salem. Honel, a 20-year-old right-hander, gave up three runs in 5 2/3 innings Saturday in his first start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 I read that, but I didn't think it was permanent. Rex, hear anything about this being more then a one time thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Warthogs Stats section of BA.com, he listed as "Not On Current Roster" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 On the Warthogs Stats section of BA.com, he listed as "Not On Current Roster" First off, when he was sent to Birmingham, he had to be taken off Winston-Salem's roster and added to Birmingham's. My understanding is that it was just for a spot start, as was Yofu's in AAA, but my hope is that something will change and they will be kept. I'll see if I can dig up anything specific today. I believe they are both ready for the next level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MnSoxFan Posted July 14, 2003 Share Posted July 14, 2003 Lamura was sent back to Kanny and Honel to Winston Salem right after their starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll just have to add "Mr. On-Top-Of-Things" to your "Mr. Negativity" title, MSF. Will two titles work for you?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted July 15, 2003 Author Share Posted July 15, 2003 So does anybody know if he is official a baron or still a warthog? Maybe Mr. Bullard could clear this up if he gets a chance to read this, and maybe give what his impression was of Kris in his one start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man could you imagine if Malone comes back healthy and pitching well, a rotation of Cotts, Honel, Malone? Scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think we are still a ways away from seeing a dominant Malone at this level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
