NorthSideSox72 Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 1, 2010 -> 01:07 AM) Ha and you made me defend putting Shirek in my top 15. QUOTE (JPN366 @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 05:28 PM) Charlie Shirek was demoted back to B'ham and placed on the DL. Heh. Charlie is my AAP, I like him, but his continually dropping K numbers combined with the repeated DL trips make me nervous. He's interesting definitely, but I would like to know what is up with him this year - what is his injury? I do think the org likes him, but something weird is up.

BrenBlackwood Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Spatola to Kannapolis. Kyle Colligan out for an injured wrist I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 A's 18 year old pitching prospect Michael Ynoa, who got $4.25 million earlier this year, is down for the Tommy John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Yikes. At least it's not a shoulder problem. There's a good chance he bounces back fine, but this is why small market teams hesitate to spend on the draft. They can't afford to miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah, but they signed this guy knowing highest bidder wins. It's different than being the only team to negotiate with the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Now Brent Morel will no longer need surgery this off-season. They are going to let his shoulder heal over time. I guess that's a good thing. No AZ Fall League for him either, but that's not much of a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JorgeFabregas Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 06:39 PM) Brian Anderson has made 3 good appearances for the Royals in rookie ball. He hasn't pitched since July 10, though. http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...&pid=435042 After a brief stop in A-ball, BA was promoted to the AAA Omaha Royals to pitch with the likes of Tony Pena Jr. http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/news/ar...sp&sid=t420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Josh Phegley promoted to AA, Jason Bour sent back to High A. I guess the Sox think he is healthy. After two stints on the DL I thought there was no way he would be able to stay healthy in the long run. He has played well since his 2nd return. He's even thrown half of his runners this year.

If the Sox were willing to trade T-Flow and Jackson for Dunn they must think Phegley is close to being major league ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that's a stretch. The guy has spent most of the year on the DL with a potentially debilitating illness, and just now got back going. He's also just reaching AA now.

Yeah, I can't imagine, after what he's gone through this year, that he'd even sniff the majors before mid 2012, and even saying that, he hasn't put up dominant numbers in the minors yet either.
