May 17, 201114 yr Charlotte ppd Mitchell got tossed after striking out in his first AB. I didn't see it, but I'm sure it was a strike. Jose Martinez replaced him, so I guess he's ok after coming out early the other day.
May 17, 201114 yr QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 16, 2011 -> 08:40 PM) Blanke 2-4, 2B I'd like to see him and Petricka in W-S in the near future. Agreed. There's a few guys that should be pushed to see if they can handle it. The first major promotions (for guys who aren't relievers) should be coming soon. Hopefully we don't have to wait until the first half of the season is over for all of them.
May 17, 201114 yr Saladino 1-3, HR. His 2nd of the season. I still would like to see more opinions on his defense. KG has called him a true SS, but he's the only one who seems confident in that regard.

May 17, 201114 yr Kenny Williams Jr. is now batting .190, batting leadoff, playing everyday. This has to stop.

KG has called him a true SS, but he's the only one who seems confident in that regard. Think Gordon Beckham except more range and better hands. (though IMO Beckham has the better arm when he was the SS for Georgia) Jeff (Ozzie Ball) probably has a better scouting report than I do though. Edited May 17, 201114 yr by SoxAce

I'll defer to Mike Newman: Defense: Throughout the series, Saladino made all of the routine plays and showed a solid average throwing arm which may have been a tick above. With Saladino’s thick trunk, I wonder about his range and how well he moves laterally. Slide him over to second base and his tools would play very well as an everyday player at higher levels. At shortstop, I envision Saladino playing the position in a pinch in more of a utility capacity. http://scoutingthesally.com/tyler-saladino...g-report-video/ I'll take his opinion over most, particularly because it's first hand. You can never be sure where KG is getting his info from.
