August 30, 201114 yr Mark Gonzales tweets AFL names Josh Phegley, Brandon Short, Tyler Saladino and Terry Doyle. Other than Saladino being a possibility I pretty much whiffed on who they would send, but as Kevin Goldstein mentioned, roster turnover is common from now to the season.
August 30, 201114 yr I would have been 100% wrong too. On the bright side, that has to mean Reed is on his way here for sure.

What's up with the AFL 2 or whatever it's called with the younger guys? I know it was in trial the past couple years. Kinda disappointed we're not sending Gilmore and/or Martinez.

September 1, 201114 yr From South Side Sox blog http://www.southsidesox.com/2011/8/31/2395...ona-fall-league Edited September 1, 201114 yr by NHDadUmp-RI
September 2, 201114 yr QUOTE (Bruce_Blixton @ Sep 1, 2011 -> 10:46 PM) I wouldn't mind seeing Axelrod added to that list. He's already thrown 150 innings this year after being at only 105 and 110 the last 2 years.
September 26, 201114 yr Author Not sure how old this is, but Brandon Kloess, Nevin Griffith and Jacob Petricka filled in the remaining pitcher slots for the Sox. Kloess is 26, but had a great year. Maybe he's a late bloomer? We'll have some velo numbers on him at least. Griffith is probably a lost cause, but maybe he can be converted to the bullpen in Arizona (wishful thinking). Petricka is a minor surprise because the AFL is a bit of a jump for him. There's a bit of intrigue with most everyone there (except Phegley to me), but Saladino is the only exciting inclusion.

September 26, 201114 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 07:51 AM) Anyone have a scouting report on him? NDFA who has put up numbers somewhat similar to Remenowsky. But I know nothing about his stuff.

I know Nev is coming off of the major surgery, but next year has to be his make or break season. Either he starts to realize some of that potential, or he will find himself looking for work.
September 30, 201114 yr keithlaw keithlaw White Sox rhp Ben Petricka 91-96 but no offspeed pitch. Threw just one slider that didn't break keithlaw keithlaw White Sox rhp Nevin Griffith 92-96 here in instructs. Needs a better second pitch
October 1, 201114 yr QUOTE (danman31 @ Sep 30, 2011 -> 07:02 PM) LOL Law can't even be bothered with Petricka's first name. I'm glad I am not the only one who caught that. I didn't say something on purpose.
October 3, 201114 yr Only saw Kloess briefly, but I wasn't blown away by his stuff. Didn't get his velocity either, sorry guys.
October 5, 201114 yr FutureSox FutureSox.com Solar Sox lost opener 12-8 (gotta love the AFL). Brandon Short 0-5, 3 K. Brandon Kloess IP, UER, K, BB
