April 30, 200916 yr Author QUOTE (kristofer @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 05:55 PM) how does john ely predict to end up in our organization? Welcome to the board and thanks for your post. If he makes it, he'd likely be a back of the rotation type starter... between 3-5. Has decent stuff. Scouting reports give him bonus points for makeup and poise. And has a bit of a deceptive motion, which could help him get a shot.
April 30, 200916 yr Here goes Dan Hudson...4 k's in 2 innings. What's up with the Sally League? Is it good pitching or bad hitting? I mean, when Ken Williams Jr is your third best hitter with a .245 average...

But this is getting crazy. I hope it's not too long before guys like Infante, Carter and Hudson move up to High A.
April 30, 200916 yr QUOTE (kristofer @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 10:55 PM) how does john ely predict to end up in our organization? Huge fan of Ely due to where he played high school, but I'm not sure he has the stuff to make the majors as a starting pitcher. He's very much in the mode of the "old regime", as he throws about 89 mph with the usual offspeed pitches. I hope he makes it though, as he's a huge Sox fan.
May 1, 200916 yr Single for Shelby, double for Beckham in the LF corner. Beck did have a failed bunt attempt, but made up for it. Sac fly for Flowers. Beckham also tagged and got into third. Allen K's. Viciedo grounded out. Kanny: Hudson 5 inn, 1 hit, 1 walk, 9 k's Edited May 1, 200916 yr by flavum
May 1, 200916 yr Barons 3rd inning: Beckham hit a liner to LF, guy made a diving catch. Flowers singled. Allen doubled to rf (awesome he can hit lefties and run) Viciedo sac fly (RBI 10), Allen to third Cook homered 4-0 Gartrell k'd
May 1, 200916 yr Hudson is ridiculous. I am not sure about his stuff, but his peripherals would suggest they are very good, prolly the ceiling of a 2.

I heard the announcer say he was hitting 94 on the gun. This guy can't stay in this league all year. That can't happen.
May 1, 200916 yr I want to be excited about Hudson, but Corwin Malone struck out 16 guys once....haha

May 1, 200916 yr I don't think the Kanny guys will get serious consideration until they get 50 innings under their belt unless there is an injury.
May 1, 200916 yr I think you really have to start paying attention to numbers once pitchers reach Winston-Salem and Birmingham. Almost all pitchers have reallly good numbers in Low A ball (SAL, Midwest League) because the quality of hitters and line-ups is just not that deep. It's always breaking through from A ball success to AA that's the hardest jump for most prospects.
May 1, 200916 yr Barons 4th: Retherford doubles Price singles Shelby doubles, scoring Retherford pitching change Beckham singles on a nubber past the mound, scoring Price Flowers struck out Allen struck out Viciedo pops out to 2B 6-0, top 5 Edited May 1, 200916 yr by flavum
May 1, 200916 yr QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 08:19 PM) Dan Hudson sporting the insane 30/2 K/BB rate on the year. He's good. His numbers are like a rich man's Brad Radke.
May 1, 200916 yr Shelby has been picking it up the last 7-10 days. 5 doubles now, 4 stolen bases, batting average has risen to .264, around 730 OPS. Beckham with an RBI single (10), back up to .295. Nine doubles for Gordo, pretty impressive. Exactly the type of hitter we need to have in our line-up. Edited May 1, 200916 yr by caulfield12
May 1, 200916 yr QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Apr 30, 2009 -> 08:20 PM) His numbers are like a rich man's Brad Radke. If Dan Hudson could win 148 career games (Radke played for some horrific Twins' post World Series team with an ERA of 4.22), I think the scout who signed him and KW would definitely take it. Not only that, but Radke didn't believe in pain...a true gamer that any team would love to have. He pitched the final season of his career with his arm barely held together with duct tape...but gutted it out somehow and then promptly retired. Edited May 1, 200916 yr by caulfield12

Every year he seems to go on a big roll at some point. It's a beautiful thing when he does. It's not a singles fest either. Watch him put up a bunch of homeruns and doubles before year end. I'm betting he ends up around .300 with 25 doubles and 15 homeruns.
May 1, 200916 yr Burdie for Kanny struck out 5 in 2 innings. That means 18 Lake County batter have struck out. And it's still a 0-0 game as far as I know. ...oh and 13 Kanny batters have struck too. 54 outs...31 strikeouts. Edited May 1, 200916 yr by flavum
May 1, 200916 yr Diamond Jaxx finally scored an unearned run. C Price (who's the Corkaroo of that team) had a passed ball with runners at 1st and 2nd and then whipped a throw past Viciedo into LF (trying to get the advancing runner), so kind of a double-error on one play. 6-1 going into the 6th. Edited May 1, 200916 yr by caulfield12
May 1, 200916 yr Remenowsky pitched the 10th...3 strikeouts!!! 21 k's He has 14 k's in 8 innings this year. No walks. No ERA. Edited May 1, 200916 yr by flavum
