April 15, 201015 yr The Knights should start hitting again now that they're away from The Orioles AAA pitching buzzsaw.
April 15, 201015 yr Author QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 10:17 PM) The Knights should start hitting again now that they're away from The Orioles AAA pitching buzzsaw. Yeah Norfolk have a great top of the rotation with Brandon Erbe, Chris Tillman and Jake Arrieta. The Knights did tag both Erbe and Tillman for the L though.
April 16, 201015 yr Quite a few hot starts for Winston-Salem. 6 regular starters hitting over .300 (Phegley not one of them). Brandon Short is hitting .333 with an OPS over 1. He's not walking much, but only has 4 K which is great. He's a really good athlete. It's good to see him progressing. Even Gilmore and Greene are hitting, but Gilmore has 3 errors at 3rd already.
April 16, 201015 yr Nice star for my boy Nate Jones. Though Shoemaker is only hitting .174, he's got a .344 OBP with his discipline (5 BB's already) so that is nice to see from him. His bat will probably pick up as the season goes along here.
April 16, 201015 yr Viciedo drew the silver sombrero. CJ Retherford so far this season (8 games, 26 AB): .346/.433/.500/.933

April 16, 201015 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 09:45 AM) I really think he might be the first call up this year for a non-pitching injury. Unless someone like Ramon Castro goes down.
April 16, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 08:58 AM) Unless someone like Ramon Castro goes down. Again?
April 16, 201015 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 10:03 AM) Again? I'm suggesting that our first non-pitching injury callup has already happened, silly.
April 16, 201015 yr Danks hasn't struck out in 3 straight games. He has a respectable 8:5 K/BB on the season. I'm wondering if Viciedo's AAA promotion was merited.
April 16, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 08:05 AM) I'm suggesting that our first non-pitching injury callup has already happened, silly. Lucy never left the major league camp this year.
April 16, 201015 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 09:41 AM) Lucy never left the major league camp this year. Yeah I was going to say, that wasn't a call-up - Lucy made the 25-man roster out of ST. And so far, he seems to be doing pretty well.
April 16, 201015 yr It's great to see Marquez go out and pitch a nice game. Also, good to see Danks developing more power. Edited April 16, 201015 yr by Thunderbolt
April 16, 201015 yr QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 09:11 AM) I'm wondering if Viciedo's AAA promotion was merited. I don't get it. Does Viciedo have to get hits every day to avoid being criticized? He went 2-4 plus a walk on Tuesday, and 2-4 on Wednesday... But goes hitless on Thursday and gets called out by people? Edited April 16, 201015 yr by scenario

I still don't understand why people refer to his numbers last year as a disappointment, he was one of the league leaders. 8th in games played, 2nd in at bats, 4th in runs scored, 2nd only to Retherford in hits, 2nd only to David Cook in RBI, 7th in total bases.

Hell just a couple days ago Danks 2 was K'ing more than he was now the tides switched. Still early people. Viciedo started off slow last year and picked it up later by adjusting.

No power, no walks, too many K's, to go along with less than glowing scouting reports. Oh yeah, that $10M price tag doesn't help people's perception either.
