southsider2k5 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 4, 2010 -> 09:14 PM) Wow, really suprised to see that Nunez and McCulloch didn't go to AAA. McCulloch sucks. Charlotte actually has some talent this year, and there is no room for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPN366 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I'm curious as to where Brandon Hynick, Brian Omogrosso, Scott Elarton and Derek Rodriguez are. I imagine that most of them are in extended spring training due to rust (Elarton) or recovery from injury (Omogrosso and Hynick), but D-Rod's omission is curious. Barons use the DH, Lee Cruz would fit that role perfectly and provide depth in the outfield. He's on the roster, AL.com always makes errors in the Barons related stories. As Dan and I have discussed... Just wanted to let everybody know that the reason for my noticeable absence lately is because my 10 week old son is in the hospital with pneumonia. He's doing much better, in fact he's 1000 percent better than he was Friday. Under the circumstances, I'm sure you guys understand that my first edition of JPNese will be delayed and I may miss part or all of the first Barons homestand.

Omogrosso might be one of those rookie ball rehab guys. He may be healthy, but his stuff has to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Hynick was actually released a couple of weeks ago? And good luck to you and your family. Hopefully the young pup pulls through quickly!

Dick Allen Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Jerry Crumbs Krause is back with the White Sox. The Slueth as he's known played a big role in bringing Ozzie Guillen and KW and Scott Pippen, Kornell David and Dalibor Bagaric to Chicago is going to be a scouting consultant, keeping his eye on the Dominican. I actually was on an elevator with Jerry a couple of years ago and the way he was weazing, I was very concerned. Hope all is well with him.

JPN366 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 (edited) Good news! Fist of all, my son is feeling much better and is home from the hospital. He is on a weeks worth of Amoxicillin and the doctors said he should be just fine. We had a "House M.D." like diagnostics team on his case. He won't get to go to his first baseball game just yet, but soon enough. I will be attending opening night tomorrow though. Also, we still have a connection in Winston-Salem. New Dash broadcaster Alex Vispoli is just as nice and helpful as former announcer Ed Collari. He said he reads both Future Sox and Soxtalk and he'd be willing to help out with interviews or whatever we needed for both sites.

SoxAce Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 04:30 PM) Kanny preview from the Independent Tribune Ya, as I said previously, I liked Wagner when he was drafted by us. Hopefully he can have a good season, as he could shoot up the prospect rankings especially with the sox weak depth in the middle infield (Beckham graduating) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Converting to starter? Someone's not been doing their reading http://bit.ly/alvZH9 It may just be to stretch out his arm and try to speed up the development process, or maybe they see him as a starter long term.
