June 18, 200916 yr Looks like Seth Loman, Justin Edwards & Tyler Kuhn have been promoted to Winston-Salem. Daniel Hudson & Christian Marrero are headed for Birmingham. David Cook may be going up to Charlotte, watch this space.

I'd have to think some guys go to Kanny from the draft class then, or possible guys who played Rookie last year.
June 18, 200916 yr This is a good thread to have. Nice way to keep track of these throughout the year. Wow Hudson really being fast-tracked huh? Marrero and Kuhn were all-stars in their respective leagues...something definitely is happening in B'Ham b/c they wouldnt be promoting Marrero to not play every day. Cook and even Gartrell really need to be in Charlotte.
June 18, 200916 yr Dan Hudson completes the awesomeness in Birmingham. Looks like we are putting him on the fast track with a possible call up sometime next year, if not sooner (potential 5th starter option for next year?).
June 18, 200916 yr Author Looks like Lee Cruz is coming up to B'ham too. That means more players from B'ham are going up to Charlotte. I guess they're finally dumping the duds in Charlotte.

June 18, 200916 yr How many available roster spaces do all 4 of the affiliates have? I assume Birmingham has to move 2-3 guys up, does Charlotte have any open spaces? I assume we'll see Phegley and Mitchell in Kanny to replace some of the guys that moved up.

As of yesterday, Charlotte had 2 open roster spots, with Omogrosso taking one. They are severly short handed on position players though, so the other one will go to an infielder or outfielder. Birmingham had 1 open spot with Omogrosso going up, and Winston-Salem had 1 that has been available for a week.

Birmingham had 1 open spot with Omogrosso going up, and Winston-Salem had 1 that has been available for a week. Two players from B'ham have to move up with the promotions of Cruz, Hudson & Marrero. My money's on Gartrell and Cook, sad to see them go, but they deserve and earned it. That means at least one player in Charlotte's getting the outright boot. Corky Miller? He was just activated, maybe they are releasing him outright since he's not all that versatile.
June 18, 200916 yr Just goes to show which teams are better about keeping things updated. The Kanny roster (with the 3 guys moved up already taken off) is still somehow at 22. You would think it has to be at most 21 unless there was a corresponding move, but I don't see anything. Anybody else? Someone come off the DL?

Actually, in the Southern League up until a year or so ago, most of the season the teams could only have 23 active.

June 18, 200916 yr Well there goes the Barons awesome team they started with haha... I don't like Danks going on the DL. What the hell, you said he was gonna be alright!! Haha

June 18, 200916 yr Just the 7 day DL. Hopefully Danks gets better quickly. Excited to have Huddy in AA and Allen in AAA.
June 18, 200916 yr Author QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 18, 2009 -> 03:29 PM) Why isn't Cook in AAA? I just don't get it. The great White Sox mystery...why aren't Wise and Cook in AAA. Edited June 18, 200916 yr by JPN366
June 18, 200916 yr QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 18, 2009 -> 04:29 PM) Why isn't Cook in AAA? Allen must be in the Sox plans at some point this year. They probably want to see how he handles AAA pitching rather than sending a non-prospect up there. Although I agree Cook should be there, if it was one or the other I agree with their decision.

There's room for Cook in AAA, Corky Miller is taking up a roster spot for no reason. I imagine once Jordan Danks comes off the DL, Miller will be released and Cook will finally go up to Charlotte.
June 18, 200916 yr What’s cool is that this puts Flowers in the position to lead this team. I can’t wait to see how he responds. Edited June 18, 200916 yr by Thunderbolt
