YES!

His facebook wall is be destroyed with congratulations so this is probably true.

The future truly is now. Good to see this organization giving Flowers and Hudson an extended audition. I might even shake things up, and make Flowers be Hudson's personal catcher. Let them establish a rapport.

Still can't confirm the Dan Hudson promotion but it seems increasingly likely that it is true.

Former ODU star pitcher, visiting Harbor Park, gets call to majors after helping beat Tides

Daniel Hudson is taken from the game in the third inning and is told he's being promoted from Charlotte to Chicago.

 

NORFOLK - Daniel Hudson, who grew up watching ballgames at Harbor Park, experienced a dream homecoming there on Tuesday night.

 

The 22-year-old pitcher, who starred at Princess Anne High School in Virginia Beach and at Old Dominion University, came back as a member of the Charlotte Knights and pitched three shutout innings against the Norfolk Tides. After the third inning, pitching coach Richard Dotson pulled Hudson out of the game and told him he was being called up to the majors by the Chicago White Sox.

 

"It couldn't have happened in a better place," Hudson said between games of a doubleheader. "To get the news here, at this park with all of my friends and family here, it's crazy to think about."

 

Hudson said the news caught him by surprise, since he was not among several Charlotte players promoted the day before as major-league rosters expand for September.

 

"I guess they wanted me to work a few more innings tonight," he said. "When they told me, I did a double-take. They had to tell me twice before I believed them."

 

Hudson led Princess Anne to the state Group AAA title in 2005 and then pitched three years for ODU before the White Sox drafted him in the fifth round in 2008.

 

This summer he made quick work of Chicago's farm system, putting up a 14-5 record for four teams before getting called up to Chicago on Tuesday.

 

"It's an awesome feeling," Hudson said. "Just an amazing feeliing."

One more reason to watch this atrocious team.

 

 

Congrats Huddy! Very excited to see him pitch.

He who comes will vanquish all.

At this point it's almost punishment to be called up.

Glad to see him on the way up. I wonder if he or Torres is getting the starts?

From single A to the majors in one season. Thats a pretty impressive rise. I hope he kicks ass.

Trib said they confirmed Torres is starting at Wrigley on Thursday.

 

So I guess this could mean no Peavy this year?

Not necesarily, but they have been pretty quiet about him.

If Peavy is shut down they might as well make every available ticket $10 for the rest of the month. Better to get people in the seats than 20% full.

Thank you, Baby Jesus.

Another White Sox season coming to an end, another season where the biggest draw in September is watching rookies get a shot.

 

*sigh*

That being the good news in this situation makes me sigh yet again.

Are you saying The Kids Can Play?

We know what Peavy can do. Lets get Hudson in a low pressure start so he gets all the butterflies out before next year.

Still waiting for him to show up on Sox website.

 

But maybe we can get him to pitch over Pena...please?

Wow the Sox do have a flair for the dramatic:
