July 9, 200916 yr Logan Johnson has picked up offensively after a tough start in W-S. He's now batting in the .270's for the season. And he's 14/37 (.378) with 4 homeruns in his last 10 games.
July 9, 200916 yr QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 8, 2009 -> 10:07 PM) Flowers 2-3 with a 2B and and RBI Danks 1-4 with a 2B Viciedo 1-4 with an RBI You're welcome. Just kidding, but I did get all three of their autographs, plus 12 other players tonight. The Barons team set just came out for those of you interested. Funny story, Viciedo was swarmed for autographs, and people kept asking him things in English. He doesn't speak a word of it, and instead of saying "thank you" to him, I said "gracias." But every time someone said something to him in English, he just nodded his head. Even when a kid asked him if he played 1st base, he nodded yes. I wanted to make sure I got some of their autographs before they're traded for Russ Springer, David Weathers & Matt Herges. Edited July 9, 200916 yr by JPN366
July 9, 200916 yr QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 8, 2009 -> 10:42 PM) Daniel Black just destroyed the ball tonight. Going 3-4 with a 2b, 3B and an RBI Heavy D!!! Still sureal to see him in the sox organization. Oh.. and Brent Morel is hitting like he's possessed. Edited July 9, 200916 yr by SoxAce
July 9, 200916 yr I'm very excited about Morel, I remember hearing sickels say he could potentially end up being a Joe Randa type, and i remember him having an above average glove in college so I'm glad to see him starting to hit well again. I would love to see a very solid bat and glove anchoring 3B with Beckham moving back to 2B in the not too distant future; something along the lines of 750-815OPS for frame of reference Joe Crede's career OPS .752 Joe Randa's career OPS .765

For his career Crede was worth around 27.6 runs less than an average 3B, the only way you can get away with that type of offense is if you play, well, Joe Crede like defense.
July 9, 200916 yr Shirek just having no problem with AA hitters so far. This Joseph Serafin kid is looking intriguing. He's pitched 4 games (2 starts), 17 innings, and has yet to give up a run of any kind. He's also struck out 11 and walked just 1, given up just 6 hits in those 17 innings (for a .109 AvgA), making his WHIP 0.41. I'm thinking he may need a bit more of a challenge than the Appy League.
July 9, 200916 yr Flowers is just a monster, ops up to .970. I'm interested to see where he'll be rated when another top 100 prospects list comes out.

Flowers isn't a top 50 overall prospect as a 1B, he's a top 100 though.

Flowers isn't a top 50 overall prospect as a 1B, he's a top 100 though. Disagree, if Yonder Alonso can be a top 15 prospect, and Lars Anderson a top 50 prospect, then Flowers has to be considered a top 50 prospect regardless of 1B/C. In fact, Danks is putting up similar numbers as Alonso at #15. Lars Anderson, 21, AA, .260, 8 HR 41 RBI, .353 OBP, .755 OPS Yonder Alonso, 22, A/AA, .287, 8 HR, 45 RBI, .360 OBP, .830 OPS Tyler Flowers, 23, AA, .298, 12 HR, 41 RBI, .439 OBP, .981 OPS

Alonso may be a bit overrated, but age is a big factor with Anderson.
