Kuhn was hitting .365 in August.

 

This makes absolutely no sense.

People seem to think it's the playoff roster thing, maybe to let them play longer. Seems weak to me, jerking Kuhn around again.

 

Furthermore, who is going to catch in Charlotte? Is Castro about to start a rehab assignment, or is Lucy going to play full time?

There is value to seeing "playoff pressure" performance. Have either been in playoffs with Sox?

Price is 2nd catcher in Charlotte.

Not surprisingly, the construction of draft slotting system considered to be no.1 priority of MLB in current labor talks.

 

FWIW...

Get this sense: baseball union will not easily swap interests of amateurs in the way NFLPA did--because of principle fight vs salary caps

I do know for a fact that August 15th was the deadline to set rosters for the playoffs. Not saying for certain that that is why they were demoted. Only the players on the active or inactive roster can play in the playoffs.

I apologize if this has been covered previously, but what is the status of our second round pick Johnson, he has not pitched much?

Likely just limiting his innings. He was the ace of a college team that made the super regionals. He logged 105 innings, which was almost a 30 inning jump from the year before. It's pretty standard practice for pitchers actually.

sources indeed say that Kuhn and Phegley were told they were going back to Birmingham for a playoff push.

#WhiteSox SS Tyler Saladino goes 3-for-4 with two doubles and a triple; very hard guy to evaluate, as scouts are very mixed on him.

Just turned 22, provides offense at a position where it is pretty weak at the moment, doesn't have a bad contact rate or too bad of plate discipline and from what I've heard is a good though not great defender. Sounds like a prospect that we should start to get a little excited about

I was wrong, it was the 17th, not the 15th.

There is now an iphone app giving MLB Gameday at-bat stats for AAA baseball.

Yeah, I got it. It's ok. I was hoping for all levels. Then they might have something.

Probably giving it a start to see how popular/profitable it is.

I use to e-mail Patrick, and getting info from him was like pulling teeth. Now, he just tweets everything.

Cooper was asked this morning if Santiago and Lindsay would be coming up in September, and he didn't commit but he did mention Addison Reed as a possibility, so I would assume there's a real good chance he's getting added to the 40-man next week.

The only reason they wouldn't bring him us is if they thought his arm needed the rest. His minor league numbers make me think he'd immediately be our second best righty.

And Axelrod should go up. I'm not sure how much more he needs to show or prove.

The number of call ups we see on the 1st could tell us a lot about what direction we are going in 2012...

I'm guessing we'll see Viciedo, Reed, Infante and Danks, Maybe Santiago or Escobar

We COULD call up 15 players, right?

Yep. And the wider the call up scope, the better the chance of a winter time sell off.
