NorthSideSox72 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Mar 30, 2010 -> 09:24 AM) Any confirmation on McCulloch moving to AAA? His performance hasn't warranted it, but there's really no place left for him to go at this point I think there is a good chance that McCulloch and Whisler are not long for this organization.

His performance hasn't warranted it, but there's really no place left for him to go at this point That's true, but I didn't know where to slot him. He's played two whole seasons with B'ham, with no positive progress. They should've sold high on him in 2007. Ever since he landed in B'ham, it's been all downhill.

That would be too bad for Whisler, he's a good guy who's worked hard and pitched well in Charlotte. I hope he gets a chance, if not with the White Sox, then somewhere.

I think the highest value McCullough had was the day he was drafted. It was all downhill after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 7-7 on the season with a 3.64 ERA. You might be right on the AS thing, I don't know where to check that. Maybe he had a good first half.

JPN366 Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 My bad, he won three Carolina League pitcher of the week awards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPN366 Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 (edited) Subtract catcher Zach Larson from the mix, he signed with the St. Paul Saints. He must have been released. New version up in the original post. Edited March 31, 2010 by JPN366 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPN366 Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 I'll have a new version up tonight subtracting UT Joe Persichina from the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPN366 Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 New version up in the original post. Still a work in progress, a glut of pitchers at Charlotte and a muddled catching situation throughout the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPN366 Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) New version up in the original post. I've based some things on the grouping of players involved in today's games. I think all the position players in the split squad against Seattle today were Birmingham bound. Yes, I'm predicting a return to the Barons for Cole Armstrong. The players used as subs in the game against the Knights on both sides, with the exception of Robbie Hudson, are Winston-Salem bound. There should be more releases to come, hopefully Baseball America will update those cuts sometime this weekend.

Got back from ST on Thursday and you would be right about Armstrong. I talked to him a little and he is going to start the season at Birmingham. Same with Joe Torres, although he seemed like he would be moving up to Charlotte fairly quickly. Armstrong seemed a little down, I guess he should.
