Southern League All-Star Game Kuhn and Marrero in starting lineup Carolina League All-Stars @ California League All-Stars Gac and Martinez starting SAL All-Star Game Shoemaker and Thompson starting
June 22, 201114 yr Viciedo is 2/2 with 2 singles. It seems like he hasn't had a 1 hit day in a long time. Nice start for Rangel Ravelo. 2/2 with a 2B, 3B.
June 22, 201114 yr Kevan Smith, 2011 draftee from Boston College, 2-2 with a HR so far. That kid is gonna move FAST.

June 22, 201114 yr QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 07:35 PM) Born in 1988. He better get out of rookie ball soon. He was a QB at Pittsburgh (surprise that he was drafted by the Sox) before playing baseball. So that's why he is old. But he has got terrific power, great defensively and top-notch make-up.

And that's what I like to hear about my AAPs!! I think he's the same age as Josh Phegley. Nice to see the Sox draft catches and hopeful some will develop into something!
June 22, 201114 yr QUOTE (TomPickle @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 08:01 PM) I was born in 1988. Try being born in 1981.
June 22, 201114 yr QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 09:13 PM) Try being born in 1981. 1973. Jus' sayin'.
June 22, 201114 yr Author Carlos Sanchez 2-2, 2B, 3 BB tonight for Bristol. Turns 19 in 8 days. 41 BB in 156 AB last year in DSL. Granted, the pitchers are wild in that league so who knows what that means. Could be worth following.

Granted, the pitchers are wild in that league so who knows what that means. Could be worth following. 41/26 BB-to-K ratio is dirty in any league. Definitely a guy to watch. Really young with great discipline already is nice to see. Obviously we'll know more after his Rookie-ball season. Edited June 22, 201114 yr by maggsmaggs

June 22, 201114 yr Not a good second game for the Voyagers, no way to put a sugar coating on a 17-1 loss. Qualon Millender was the offensive star again last night going 2 for 4 with a double and a single. As the lead off hitter, he's started the first two games with a triple and a double. Joseph De Pinto also went 2 for 4 with an RBI. As for the pitchers Kevin Vance pitched one inning of relief giving up one hit and striking out three. On the other side of the pitching spectrum was Kevin Rath who pitched a third of an inning giving up 2 walks, three hits, and 6 earned runs equaling an ERA of 162. Ouch!

June 22, 201114 yr QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 08:47 AM) FDR was my first Pres. Harry Truman for me. To put it in White Sox perspective, Luke Appling was still playing and Nellie Fox was in his first year with the White Sox.
June 22, 201114 yr Axelrod transitioning to AAA pretty well in his 2 starts so far. I wouldn't be surprised if we hear more about him as the year goes on.
June 22, 201114 yr Milledge is quietly putting together a solid season in AAA. So that's option number 2 of people the Sox have rotting in Charlotte who could take over for Pierre and be better....

So that's option number 2 of people the Sox have rotting in Charlotte who could take over for Pierre and be better.... Thanks to a solid May and a fantastic June. He really started the season poorly, but he is definitely coming around.

Quentin - Milledge - Viciedo Ah, one can dream.... May not be pretty defensively, but an offensive upgrade for sure...
June 22, 201114 yr QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 04:41 PM) Quentin - Milledge - Viciedo Ah, one can dream.... May not be pretty defensively, but an offensive upgrade for sure... You would seriously take Milledge over Rios? I mean come on, this reactionary stuff is getting ridiculous. Milledge has shown he's marginal at the major league level even as a part time player, his D was bad even on the corners, and the defense in that OF with him in CF would be atrocious.
