August 8, 200916 yr Charlotte at Indianapolis Egbert starting Birmingham vs. Tennessee Winstom-Salem vs. Frederick Edwards starting Kannapolis vs. Greensboro Sauer on the mound. Bristol at Greeneville Edited August 9, 200916 yr by Ozzie Ball
August 9, 200916 yr B-Ham with a 6 spot in the first 2 innings off of Cubs 2008 1st rounder Andrew Cashner. Also, it's official. Hudson's listed on the Charlotte roster.
August 9, 200916 yr Danks 1-1 with a walk and 2 runs scored. Viciedo 2-2 with 2 RBI's. Also CJ Retherford with 33 doubles on the year. Nice.
August 9, 200916 yr Our 3B prospects are looking good now. Viciedo bordering on a .280 average, and Morel up to .280 after a 3-4 night. If Morel gets moved up to AA soon, it will be interesting to see where Viciedo plays.
August 9, 200916 yr QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Aug 8, 2009 -> 08:16 PM) Our 3B prospects are looking good now. Viciedo bordering on a .280 average, and Morel up to .280 after a 3-4 night. If Morel gets moved up to AA soon, it will be interesting to see where Viciedo plays. This was from a scouting report on Morel last year when the Sox drafted him: SCOUTING REPORT: Morel's quietly-aggressive, blue-collar approach to the game makes him a favorite of coaches, and scouts significantly warmed up to him this spring, as well, after he profiled as little more than a mid-round selection entering the 2008 season. He doesn't do anything with flash and none of his tools really stick out, but Morel matured as a hitter this year. He had a knack for finding the sweet spot, added power as he learned to backspin balls better and hit the curveball more consistently. He developed into a sound clutch hitter. With a week remaining in the season, he was hitting .364-7-56—and his average and RBIs were team-leading figures. It was a significant step up from 2007, when he batted .333-5-31. His improvement on defense was just as subtle. He makes all the routine plays at third base, shows solid instincts for the position and displays above-average arm strength when he needs to. He also has average speed and is an alert base runner. Some teams believe Morel's aggressive approach might make him well-suited to become a catcher down the road.—ALLAN SIMPSON With Flowers & Phegley both in the system, not sure the Sox would consider that. Still think Viciedo gets moved to a corner OF spot eventually.

August 9, 200916 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2009 -> 08:23 PM) Really, it'd be crazy to give up on him at 3rd already. Not really giving up on him, as Morel is clearly superior at 3B. It would be an interesting situation.

Unless you're moving Viciedo up to AAA, you can't bring the other guy up yet. Might not be the best situation, but Viciedo needs to keep playing 3b for now. The worst that happens is; we move him later.
August 9, 200916 yr B-ham continuing to pour it on. Now 12-0 in the 3rd. Marrero with no official at bat, but has 3 walks & 3 runs scored. Gallagher 3-3 with 4 RBI's.
August 9, 200916 yr I hope Morel sticks with the Sox organization. He's a had a very solid season, and I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do in Birmingham next year.
August 9, 200916 yr QUOTE (CSF @ Aug 8, 2009 -> 08:02 PM) Also, it's official. Hudson's listed on the Charlotte roster. Thanks to JPN, FutureSox was 2 days ahead of milb.com.
August 9, 200916 yr Author Sauer and Edwards are ground ball machines. 17/3 GO/FO for Edwards, 12/3 GO/FO for Sauer.
August 9, 200916 yr Lost in the 14-0 beatdown of the Smokies is 6 shutout innings for Ely. 4 hits, 1 BB, 5 K's. Also, Viciedo now 3-4 with 3 RBI's. And a homerun for Marrero. Edited August 9, 200916 yr by CSF

August 9, 200916 yr Jack Egbert had a nice outing tonight. I wouldn't rule him out of the 5th starter discussion the next time it roles around.
