April 26, 200916 yr Author Right now, Christian Marrero is THE hottest hitter in the WhiteSox organization. 2-3 today so far with a homerun... Currently batting .397 (27 for 68) on the season. Edited April 26, 200916 yr by scenario
April 26, 200916 yr Author W-S wins 8-4. Anthony Carter with an excellent outing. Pitched 8 innings. Gave up 2 runs on 4 hits; 5 K's and 1 BB.
April 26, 200916 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 26, 2009 -> 02:46 PM) Time to promote Infante and challenge him Practically that whole Kanny rotation needs to be challenged some more. They are just basically dominating.

Currently batting .397 (27 for 68) on the season. Marrero also threw a runner out at home from RF today. Might be time to consider this guy a legit prospect. He's the same age as Beckham and Danks, and he's put up solid numbers since being signed in 2006. Edited April 26, 200916 yr by flavum

He's the same age as Beckham and Danks, and he's put up solid numbers since being signed in 2006. I'm surprised he wasn't even drafted back then. He's from Miami. I believe that he was drafted by us as a draft-and-follow player (whatever the hell that means) the previous season. FYI, he is the brother of Nationals 1B Eli Marrero

FYI, he is the brother of Nationals 1B Eli Marrero I just edited it when I realized he was a draft and follow. He was the 22nd rounder in 2005. Hope he continues to progress. The more pieces the Sox have, the better.

April 27, 200916 yr Eli Marrero is Cuban (I think)...does that make both the OTHER Marreros American-born/Cuban descent?

Christian Marrero's parents are Cuban immigrants who now own a business in Miami. Edited April 27, 200916 yr by scenario
April 27, 200916 yr QUOTE (JPN366 @ Apr 26, 2009 -> 03:12 PM) Christopher Marrero. You're right, I knew that, I always just come up with Eli for some reason, prolly b/c it is a familiar name
April 27, 200916 yr Couple intersting tidbits: 1) The losing pitcher for Hickory's last name is Hamburger 2) Jared Price stole home for Birmingham

Eli Marrero was born in Havana, but he is an american baseball product. Christopher Marrero is from cuban descent as weel as the following players: MLB Robert Andino Bronson Arroyo Vinnie Chulk Ryan Freel Raul Ibañez Mike Lowell Fernando Perez Jorge Posada (grandson of former major leaguer Leo Posada) AAA Jonathan Arencibia Gio Gonzalez Gaby Hernandez Jon Jay Kenny Perez Sean Rodriguez Gaby Sanchez AA Alex Avila Adrian Cardenas Reidier Gonzalez Javi Herrera Ricky Orta Daniel Otero Camilo Vazquez A Yonder Alonso Christopher Marrero Matt Dominguez (Gus Dominguez' nephew) Gus was a baseball agent and is in jail now fro bring cuban players.

FYI, he is the brother of Nationals 1B Eli Marrero The draft and follow rule isn't in place any more but it used to be that you could draft a player who would be attending junior college but you didn't have to sign him until a week before the next years draft, essentially allowing you to 'follow' the player for a year before having to decide if you wanted to sign him or not. I believe we gave Marrero a $120k bonus but I can remember where I read it.
April 27, 200916 yr QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 27, 2009 -> 06:40 AM) Couple intersting tidbits: 1) The losing pitcher for Hickory's last name is Hamburger 2) Jared Price stole home for Birmingham The pitcher was distracted by John Shelby trying to steal second. Jared's a big, burly catcher with big, burly catcher speed.
April 27, 200916 yr I wasn't at last night's game, but if it was anything like Saturday's game, Mobile's pitchers were throwing over to 1st what felt like 3 or 4 times every time someone was on. They were definitely distracted.
April 27, 200916 yr Jordanks seems to be picking it up a bit in W-S. Good to see him walking a bit more...
