Kanny facing Jameson Taillon. They'll see Harper next week.

Edited May 14, 201114 yr by flavum

Viciedo is 1/3.

Danks is 2/3, with a 2B, RBI.

Drew Lee is 1/1 with 2B, RBI, BB.

Gac is 2/3, and hit his 11th HR.

Wilkins is 0/1 with 2 BB.

Santiago has a 1-hitter through 6 IP, with 6 K.

Leesman has 6 K, 0 BB though 3 IP so far.

Charles Leesman has now collectively pitched about a full year of AA ball, being pretty good.

17 games, 8-2 record, 93 IP, 69 hits allowed, 35 walks, 79Ks, roughly a 3.00 ERA in Birmingham.

 

What is preventing him from being promoted to Charlotte?

And just how good is he, stuff wise?

Addison Reed w/ 2 more perfect innings, 1 K.

Danks no K's.

Mitchell hitting .195 in A-ball.

 

Harrell with a nice start. Danks 2-4.

Generally speaking he's a future lefty specialist. The Sox have kept him in spring training somewhat longer for a couple years now. That's a good sign that they like him. I don't think he's much of a starting prospect, but he's got a 3/4 arm angle which could confuse batters with 90s velocity. I like him, but only as a reliever down the road.

Nice outing for Lucas Harrell against the Twins AAA team.

6 innings; 1 run on 5 hits; 9K's; 1BB

On the season so far for Steven Upchurch: 24.2 innings... 26 Ks... 2 BBs... 1.82 ERA... .169 BAA... 2.69 GO/AO

Fantastic yes, but I'm finding it hard to get excited when he's going 2-3 innings every outing. Either he's a starter with no stamina or a reliever with less value. I'm taking the wait and see approach because he's right in the middle. Is he a starter or a reliever?

Just imagine how bad they are if you look at the Twins' major league offense and most of these guys ostensibly aren't even good enough to replace the guy's below the Mendoza line up there.

I feel the same way with Reed.

The sox are going to let him pitch a few more innings to fine tune. He'll be in AAA soon.

When do we get the annual prospect ratings?

I've never seen a system so devoid of starting pitching prospects in my life.

It's like Rienzo and Petricka right now. That should be their target early in the draft.

They will probably go OF or 3B.

Starting pitching is always their draft target.

Just draft the best available, it's too hard to know when each prospect is going to be ready anyways, so best method is to choose the best player.
