caulfield12 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) Charlotte game suspended...hard to get excited about BIRM!!! Just Morel and Shelby to pay attention to IMO. I know some like Marrero, but...don't think he'll make it. Edited May 4, 2010 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Brandon Short and Andy Garcia have 21 RBI's each now on the young season. N. Griffith was pretty shaky, Remenowsky continues to pitch well (although I'll never forget the time someone called the post-game last year and wanted him promoted immediately from A ball like he was Scott Radinsky, Boone Logan or Dwight Gooden). Gilmore, Lewis and J. Greene continue to hit well into the mid 300's. Trayce Thompson with .963 OPS, that's wonderful for a player one year removed from HS playing in the SAL... http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...&pid=572204 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Shirek is just rolling now. He's got trade bait written all over him.

He was, but then he had 2 or 3 bad outings in a row at the end of April, which I've never seen him do before. His ERA got up into the mid-3's. But he did calm down nicely in this last outing. He's also walking a few more guys than he did last year. If I had to guess, I think they have worked him into a little bit more velocity, but he's struggling a bit trying to control it. He's not having a bad season, but he's not been quite as dominant as last year, to this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bah, that's the kind of guy we do trade, and it's the kind of guy who seems to wind up coming back in a few years as a bullpen guy to hurt us.

Bah, that's the kind of guy we do trade, and it's the kind of guy who seems to wind up coming back in a few years as a bullpen guy to hurt us. He's been a starter his whole minor league career, but I do tend to believe he's eventually a reliever. His numbers seem to suggest that he runs out of gas late in the year, and he's highly reliant on his fastball. I'd say his future role is likely as a setup guy.

Chisoxfn Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 From what I've heard the org likes Shirek. He's got a nice arm and has a shot. Obviously the one issue is the so called depth in our rotation, especially since I don't see Hudson getting moved. The org is very high on him.

caulfield12 Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 Whatever happened to Omogrosso? I thought he looked really good in ST 2009, and then he's kind of fallen off the map.... I'm guessing it's either injury/ies or non-performance? Sorry, haven't been following the minors as close as some of you on a daily and weekly basis, trying to catch back up to speed these days after the offseason of kind of "tuning out."

He had an injury, and surgery, I think on his shoulder. Missed most of a season I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 And IIRC, Omogrosso has had tommy john before, so between a bum shoulder and a surgically repaired elbow the odds are stacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have been great last year, but he was still in A-ball, that would be ridiculous. Rad and Logan were both specialists filling a need that the team had a deep hole in. Rem is not that guy.
