May 5, 201114 yr Charlotte- all the regulars are playing, so nobody is on a plane to Seattle yet. http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/gameday...chraaa_tolaaa_1 Edited May 5, 201114 yr by flavum
May 5, 201114 yr Author Viciedo single. Been raking lately. McPherson 3-run homer. Edited May 5, 201114 yr by flavum
May 5, 201114 yr QUOTE (flavum @ May 5, 2011 -> 07:02 PM) 6 up. 6 down. 29 pitches. 20 strikes. Going for 100 pitches? Could this be his last rehab start?
May 5, 201114 yr Author Yeah, I think the plan is if this goes well, Peavy will start in Anaheim next Tuesday or Wednesday.
May 5, 201114 yr Viciedo just ripped an RBI double of the LF wall during an 8-pitch at-bat. Is now 2/2 on the day.
May 5, 201114 yr Author Single and double for Viciedo. Ok, I'm officially in the "get his ass up here" camp. And how about just De Aza too? Dump Pierre.
May 6, 201114 yr Author ...and a homer for Viciedo. Um, so yeah, we're going to have to ask you to get on a plane to Seattle.

May 6, 201114 yr Author Desperate times call for desperate measures. Get Viciedo up here. We need the knocks.
May 6, 201114 yr Author Viciedo just walked!!! Balta, I'm talking to you. Edited May 6, 201114 yr by flavum
May 6, 201114 yr QUOTE (flavum @ May 5, 2011 -> 08:59 PM) Viciedo just walked!!! Balta, I'm talking to you. I am mollified
May 6, 201114 yr QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 5, 2011 -> 09:23 PM) Balta, are you the all time leader in posts now? SS still has him by 11k ha! As for Viciedo: .373/.377/.588 on his current 12-game hitting streak. That's pretty good. Obviously not walking is a problem, but he makes enough contact and has good power. He can still be valuable without ever taking a walk. He won't be a superstar, but he can be a good hitter.
May 6, 201114 yr I really like the comparison to Bobby Bonilla. At least that's the one I'm going with for now.
May 6, 201114 yr QUOTE (flavum @ May 5, 2011 -> 07:39 PM) Mitchell is a f***ing k machine. He shouldn't even be in High A in the first place. I was against that when I heard our brass was doing it.
May 6, 201114 yr QUOTE (danman31 @ May 5, 2011 -> 11:11 PM) SS still has him by 11k ha! I've got a couple years at this pace to catch up. Fathom's still about 3k ahead of me.

Do we have a single prospect of relevance doing anything? Mitchell has been a joke. Thompson has sucked since his hot start. Phegley sucks. Danks and Flowers don't even count anymore. Escobar's hitting .228 with a sub .300 OBP. But I guess the system will get a boost if/when Morel/Beckham get sent down. This s*** is just depressing.
