May 8, 201015 yr Pawtucket @ Charlotte Hudson Birmingham--Cassel Winston-Salem--Griffith Kannapolis--Bayne Edited May 9, 201015 yr by scenario
May 9, 201015 yr Short RF 2 2 2 1 0 0 1 0 0 .376 Escobar SS 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 .265 Gilmore 3B 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 .339 Loman 1B 2 1 1 0 0 1 3 0 0 .287 Lewis DH 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 .373 Sierra C 2 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 .276 Cheatham LF 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .364 Garcia, An 2B 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .321 Greene CF 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 .344 Brandon Short now with a 26 game hitting streak (1B/2B)....only 5 more to go to tie the All-Time CAR League record.
May 9, 201015 yr Hudson through 6 IP: 7 hits, 2 ER (both in the 6th inning), 0 BB, 6 K's. 3 of the 7 hits were in the 6th inning. Looks like he's finding his rhythm again. 94 pitches thrown, so he might be done for the night.
May 9, 201015 yr BB&T Park has to be an absolute bandbox with the numbers that offense is putting up. Maybe it's not, but man, those are some numbers... Short now 4-4. Kid is out of his mind.
May 9, 201015 yr 2nd straight blech outing for Griffith: 4 IP, 5 hits, 5 runs, 2 BB, 4 K's. Even still, his ERA is at 2.94. Burdie's line: .2 IP, 1 hit, 5 ER , 4 BB, 1 K.
May 9, 201015 yr He's only 21 years old and putting up those numbers in High A. I think we have to AT LEAST think of him as capable of being a #6-12 type of prospect (eventually) in our system. Because God knows there are a ton of holes in the games of both Shelby III and Danks. Between Colligan, Greene and Short, hopefully one of them really blossoms, and Mitchell can come back 100%.
May 9, 201015 yr QUOTE (flavum @ May 8, 2010 -> 09:14 PM) Short 5-6. Prospect or just hot? He's definitely a prospect, but he also really needs to improve his K to BB ratio. But there is a lot to like. Also would like better SB numbers from him, but .387 from a 21-year-old in High A is definitely a legitimate prospect.
May 9, 201015 yr QUOTE (flavum @ May 8, 2010 -> 08:14 PM) Short 5-6. Prospect or just hot? Prospect for sure. 21 and in High A is very good. He might be the "rising" prospect we have this year.. you know.. guy who comes out of nowhere. (though a couple here have kept an eye on him last year) Who knows.. at this rate, the second half team for Birmingham might be a bit more loaded as the season goes on. Guys like Greene, Bellamy, etc.. should get looks at promotions. Edited May 9, 201015 yr by SoxAce

But as is well said the kid is only 21. Too early. Maybe by the end of next year.

I am really hoping he comes back strong. We need a good corner outfielder with upside. I am not ready to declare CQ a bust but maybe he is a one year fluke.
