May 18, 200916 yr Some pitchers going tonight that are worth watching. Need some baseball other than the crap the Sox are putting up right now.
May 18, 200916 yr Ahh, Hudson is pitching tonight! Gives me something to look forward to concerning white sox baseball.
May 18, 200916 yr I'm pretty stoked about Omogrosso. I don't know if he has the secondary stuff to be a starter, but he's got a big league arm and should be in Chicago this year if they rebuild or retool.
May 18, 200916 yr Let's hope Contreras is getting back onto the right track. The boys are needing all of the help that they can get.
May 18, 200916 yr Author I like some of the pitching prospects we may see for next year - Poreda, Omogrosso, even Torres as potential starters, along with Richard if he can stabilize. Link in the bullpen. Not exactly stacked, but, a few nice arms to consider. Everyone talks about the position players, with good reason, but there are some pitchers worth watching for 2010 too.
May 18, 200916 yr Author By the way, anyone have any idea what the hell happen to Justin Cassel? Dud won an ERA crown in AA last year, and has been atrocious this year in Charlotte. He's also been on the DL. I wonder if he's still got an injury.
May 18, 200916 yr No offense NS, but these team will suck a long time if they consider Torres or Whisler a long term option. Same with Cook. Maybe they find a way as a last man in the pen or in Cook's case a 4th or 5th outfielder but anything more and its a bad sign.

I've said before I think Cook is being underutilized, but for pitching, I am NOT saying Whisler is some great prospect. I do think that the pitchers I mentioned are intriguing though.

I've said before I think Cook is being underutilized, but for pitching, I am NOT saying Whisler is some great prospect. I do think that the pitchers I mentioned are intriguing though. And I'm saying Carlos Torres is no different than those other players. They are what they are and they might get a chance somewhere but if you plan on winning it won't be in Chicago. They might find a home with the Pirates as a 5th starter for a few seasons just logging innings and than eventually develop into a decent relief piece but they aren't anything more and if thats what we have to get excited about than I throw up at that thought. Link is the only thing remotely passable down in AAA, maybe Cassel if he figures his stuff out but his velocity is poor since the injury (and it wasn't good to begin with) and he doesn't have enough of the other stuff to succeed, imo. Lucy isn't bad as a potential backup catcher, again, nothing more.
May 18, 200916 yr Be nice if Anderson could get a couple solid hits tonight. Is a lefty or a righty on the mound facing Charlotte?
May 18, 200916 yr Birmingham has the A lineup going for the first time since Danks got called up and Beckham came off the DL. Should be good.

May 18, 200916 yr Through 4, Hudson has 5 K's, 0 BB's. Given up 2 runs, 1 earned, and 3 hits. The 1 ER came on a HR. The unearned run was a result of a passed ball by Adam Ricks. Winston Salem is down 2-0 right now.
May 19, 200916 yr Charlotte's up 2 on a home run by Myrow, Contreras with 0 hits, 1 k, 2 walks through 3. Anderson 0/2. 38 pitches, 24 strikes for Jose.
May 19, 200916 yr Hudson's numbers really remind me of McCarthy, for some reason. Hudson, in my opinion, is a better pitching prospect than Poreda.

I've been saying Hudson is the best starting pitching prospect we have for a while. Something about him screams no. 2 or 3 starter to me. I've only seen a little of him, but what I have seen, I really liked.
May 19, 200916 yr Danks flew out. Improving. Barons down 3-1. Retherford Sac Fly. Edited May 19, 200916 yr by flavum
