April 28, 201015 yr Two games already underway... Charlotte leads Columbus 1-0 in the 3rd, Harrell looking decent so far Tennessee leads B-Ham 2-0 in the 4th, Justin Cassel getting hit a bit W-S @ Frederick, 6:00pm CT, Griffith (3-0, 0.90) gets the start Lakewood @ Kanny, 6:05pm CT, Hopps (0-1, 6.57) starting
April 28, 201015 yr CJ in a big-time slump... 3 hits in his last 32 at-bats Drops his season average to low .200's. Ouch
April 28, 201015 yr Is it just me, or has it seemed like Flowers has not been playing much lately? Did not play the 18th, 20th, 22nd, 25th, or 28th.

Did not play the 18th, 20th, 22nd, 25th, or 28th. He may be taking days off to work on specific things in pre-workout or post-game, so they may be resting him for some of those days.
April 28, 201015 yr I think they're geared toward school field trips. QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 12:22 PM) Man, what's with all these early day games lately? I like it, but it's weird.
April 28, 201015 yr Robert Hudson is hitting really well for AAA. I don't see it lasting, and we still need to draft middle-infield depth, but it's good to see him hitting well.
April 28, 201015 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 12:26 PM) I think they're geared toward school field trips. When the Barons play early day games (11AMCT), it's considered "kids day." There was 5,000 kids in GA last Wednesday.
April 28, 201015 yr Jordan Cheatham has been promoted to Winston-Salem. Does this mean Brady Shoemaker goes back to Kannapolis?
April 28, 201015 yr Author QUOTE (JPN366 @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 02:08 PM) Jordan Cheatham has been promoted to Winston-Salem. Does this mean Brady Shoemaker goes back to Kannapolis? Who dropped off the W-S roster? Also, I thought Cheatham wasn't really a starter anyway.
April 28, 201015 yr Author Tyson Corley not responding to the promotion too well. 1 IP in 2 outings, given up 4 ER. Tyler Kuhn keeps hitting, still over .300. I have yet to ever find any scouting info on that guy, but he seems to consistently hit for average at every level, good contact rate, and can play a number of positions. Anyone know anything about him?
April 28, 201015 yr Flowers is alive. He just got an AB replacing Castro (another reason for less PT) and made an out, at .264 now. So Donny Lucy's days are numbered in Chicago...but he actually acquitted himself quite well offensively and opened some eyes in the organization. Only five hits for the Knights, pretty hard to get excited about Harrell, Elarton or Whisler. Retherford taking another 0 for....down to .215, bright spot is Hudson's 2/3, unfortunately, we have the WRONG Hudson in our organization, no disrespect to Robert.
April 28, 201015 yr Charlis Birdie is allergic to base hits (in a good way). He just doens't like to give them up. I wonder what kind of stuff he has, but he dominated last year in Kanny and did well in WS.
April 28, 201015 yr OT: That kid Carlos Santana for the Indians org. will be fun to watch. He'll be promoted very soon.
April 29, 201015 yr QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 10:45 PM) Eduardo Escobar has a higher ISO than Jon Gilmore. Ok... but after tonight, both have 81 at-bats and... Gilmore is batting .395 with a .427 OBP and .896 OPS. Escobar is batting .259 with a .319 OBP and .652 OPS.
April 29, 201015 yr QUOTE (scenario @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 05:07 AM) Ok... but after tonight, both have 81 at-bats and... Gilmore is batting .395 with a .427 OBP and .896 OPS. Escobar is batting .259 with a .319 OBP and .652 OPS. Escobar's superior power/patience > Gilmore's inflated average.
April 29, 201015 yr QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 11:10 PM) Escobar's superior power/patience > Gilmore's inflated average. Superior power?? Please. Escobar has 1 more extra base hit on the season in the exact same number of at-bats (81). (Meanwhile, Gilmore has 12 more hits.) Superior patience?? Escobar has a grand total of 2 more walks... and he's struck out 4 more times than Gilmore. Plus Gilmore is 6'3" 195 lbs... Escobar is 5'10" and 150 pounds. Extremely doubtful that Escobar will EVER have anywhere near the power Gilmore does. Edited April 29, 201015 yr by scenario
April 29, 201015 yr QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 10:10 PM) Escobar's superior power/patience > Gilmore's inflated average. Ya not sure about your power argument. (Hell Gilmore has 5 XBH to Escobars 6 so it isn't night and day better here) But defensively, you would have a point. Both Gilmore and Short though have been very good. Both guys can go 0 for their next 20, and still be hitting over .300 Edited April 29, 201015 yr by SoxAce
April 29, 201015 yr QUOTE (scenario @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 05:14 AM) Superior power?? Please. Escobar has 2 more doubles on the season in the exact same number of at-bats (81). Superior patience?? Escobar has a grand total of 2 more walks... and he's struck out 4 more times than Gilmore. Weren't we comparing their numbers for the year? 2 more walks is 25% more walks. 2 more doubles is 33.33% more doubles.
April 29, 201015 yr QUOTE (danman31 @ Apr 28, 2010 -> 10:45 PM) Eduardo Escobar has a higher ISO than Jon Gilmore. What the hell? Did dan just reference a Saber stat? I think Ozzieball is having quite the influence on you.

Their ISO's are actually identical though, just checked. I take back my statement of Escobar showing superior power this year.
