KW Jr. has officially hit the DL.

...and the DL hit back.

From what I have read about him, he seems to be a blue collar type of player. Works really hard, energetic, but lacks some of the necessary tools. Could certainly make it to the majors, but probably not as a starter on a contending team. He was compared to Ross Gload by FutureSox, so whether you view that as a good or bad thing is up to you. He also kind of sounds like Doug Mientkiewicz without the gold glove.

Reason #437 to hate Kenny Williams Jr.

 

The Barons have around 40 something uniforms for players and coaches to wear. Apparently, KW Jr. decided none of those were good enough, so a new jersey was purchased for him with a number that wasn't previously available. His jersey number doesn't match the others.

I really don't get all the KW Jr. hate.

He made the Barons get him a totally new jersey. The ones they use are only a few years old.

Michael Restovich is going on the DL to make room for Lastings Milledge in Charlotte.

That is not surprising.

7 releases today.

 

Jd ashbrook, pat shatz, Richard Marshall, shelton, huff and 2 other pitchers whose names I'm still trying to get!!

Kyle Bellamy was placed on the 60 day DL, wonder how bad he's hurt.

Robert Young voluntarily retired.

Umm, Tyler Flowers came out of tonight's game after one at bat. Wasn't hit by a pitch, doesn't say he was replaced due to injury. Traded?

Very, very unlikely

Injured.

He's really fallen off lately. Ended last season poorly in B-Ham, looked pretty bad in ST this year.

Any details?

A major injury would explain a lot of that unfortunately...

Because the idea that he asked and they said yes is just totally out of the question

When there are more than 40 to choose from already, yeah. I doubt he just nicely asked.

Those have nothing to do with each other. You might be right, but unless you heard from an inside source, you're just making an assumption based on your disdain for the player.

Amen

I'll get the story behind it.

If you worked for a minor league team and KW Jr. asked for something that wasn't a reasonable request, would you feel comfortable saying no to him?

Stefan Gartrell was outrighted to Charlotte, dropping him from the 40-man, which is now at 37.

Didn't get the story, but I know it's true. It's actually as bad as it can be.
