October 13, 201015 yr Bryce Harper will be playing with Scottsdale as part of the taxi squad, participating in 2 games a week. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...rtnerId=rss_was
October 14, 201015 yr QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Oct 13, 2010 -> 09:41 PM) Mitchell went 0-3, 2 Ks, and 1 BB. Ewww. He still played in the game.
October 15, 201015 yr QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Oct 14, 2010 -> 03:37 PM) No Mitchell today. Hope he's feeling ok.
October 15, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 14, 2010 -> 08:05 PM) Hope he's feeling ok. Pinch hit K for him later.
October 15, 201015 yr Ouch, Mitchell has been pretty bad the last couple days, and how about that outing for Mabee? Yikes, good thing he is a nobody.
October 16, 201015 yr Yet to see Phegley play. I wonder if he was part of the taxi squad. It would make sense for him to have limited playing time.
October 18, 201015 yr No AFL for Phegley. http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/...farm-staff.html
October 19, 201015 yr QUOTE (DirtySox @ Oct 18, 2010 -> 05:22 PM) No AFL for Phegley. http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/...farm-staff.html I know this sounds simple, but, it could be the dude just needs some rest. He recovered from a major condition and then played again this year, I'm sure that took its toll.

Phegley Suffers Another Setback While the original intention was to have him play in the AFL to make up some lost time, blood tests revealed that his condition had not improved enough for him to continue playing. So, fellow White Sox catching prospect Jason Bour was added to the Saguaros’ roster while Phegley went back to Indiana to work with team and personal physicians to find a remedy. “There are still some complications from it [iTP],” said Phegley, who hit .284 [50-for-176] at Birmingham, Winston-Salem and Bristol. “We made a joint decision with the White Sox to cut the season short and take as much time as we could in the off-season to deal with the syndrome. When spring training rolls around, I want to be ready to go. “Right now everything is still up and down and it [his blood] is not stabilizing like we thought it would. We milked it through the regular season so I could keep playing. I don’t want to do that for a long [period of] time. So we’ll do what we have to do to get it figured out.”
October 19, 201015 yr QUOTE (DirtySox @ Oct 19, 2010 -> 01:34 PM) Phegley Suffers Another Setback Ugh. That poor kid, that just really sucks.
October 20, 201015 yr Bryce Harper will be able to play tonight for Scottsdale. He can play on Wednesday's and Saturday's. Too bad he's such a douche, but it will be interesting to see what an 18-year-old can do against really good minor league pitching.
October 21, 201015 yr Mitchell went 0/4, 2 K. He is striking out a TON. Escobar went 2/5. Edited October 21, 201015 yr by JoeCoolMan24
October 21, 201015 yr QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Oct 20, 2010 -> 10:54 PM) Mitchell went 0/4, 2 K. He is striking out a TON. Escobar went 2/5. Mitchell hasn't played in like 7 months. I think it's OK for him to have a little rust.

October 21, 201015 yr QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Oct 20, 2010 -> 10:54 PM) Mitchell went 0/4, 2 K. He is striking out a TON. Not surprising. He had a 35% K rate in Kanny, and he hasn't played in a while.

I think, if anything, this just goes to show how raw Mitchell is. He's probably a top 3 talent in the system, but he spent a lot of time on football in college and is incredibly underdeveloped as a baseball player. You have to assume he starts next year in A-ball, probably in W-S, and if he shows enough there, then you can promote him to BHam midseason, and it honestly might not be a bad idea to put him back in Kanny.
