Looks like I'll be headed out to the game without knowing the Barons roster. I'll take notes and try to give you guys a rudimentary box score when I get home. Watch this space...

Okay, I braved 40 degree weather and windy conditions tonight, you're welcome...

 

Montevallo 0 Runs 1 Hit 0 Errors

Barons 8 Runs 8 Hits 0 Errors

 

 

CF #12 John Shelby III FO, FO, DP, 1B, K

Observations: Viciedo looked okay at 3B. His throws were a little low. Got good, hard hits. Beckham looked fine at SS. His double almost was a HR. Retherford looked comfortable at 2B. Got robbed on a web gem his last at bat. Flowers looked okay behind the plate, handled all 7 pitchers well enough. His HR was high and majestic. Shelby III got robbed on his double play on a liner to third that was caught and the runner on 1st was doubled up. Allen hit a no doubter at the crack of the bat bomb to right, must have been 450 feet. Other players who might be on the roster, not sure if some of the guys will go up to Charlotte, but I got confirmation Cook is starting in B'ham; Lee Cruz, Robbie Hudson, Aaron Poreda, Brian Omogrosso, Kyle McCulloch, Jared Price, Eric Hollis, John Ely, Matt Long, could be more guys, but that's all I saw tonight.

Sucks that Cook has to go to AA again. He clearly is too good for that level. It would be nice to let him get another look in AAA. I guess the Sox really want these prospects to win together.

That's gotta be the best minor league lineup I have seen in a long, long time.

Thanks for the update.

yes thank you

Yeah I agree on Cook, but holy crap is that a strong AA lineup.

 

 

Great job on the update JPN. With that team, it looks like you're going to have alot of fun at the ol' ballpark this year.
