July 18, 201213 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 08:47 AM) I thought it was 30? Yes, but you can always fabricate a brand new injury, starting the clock over.
July 18, 201213 yr Morel most likely stays in the minors until September. He needs more than a rehab stint to get his batting groove back. Plus what do you think about his Sox future? Trade bait maybe or will the Youk be gone after a year and Morel back at third? Hudson doesn't seem to be the answer and I don't buy the left handed bat thing with the Oh-Dawg. You can bat upside down and if you can't hit anymore you can't hit anymore period
July 18, 201213 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 08:10 AM) Per @BristolSox GM Mahlon Luttrell, big league infielder Brent Morrell will begin rehab assignment with club. This will lower the team BA at Bristol.
July 18, 201213 yr With all the attention on Youk, I seriously didn't remember he was on the team. It's like he just vanished, and no one noticed.

July 18, 201213 yr QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 12:23 PM) This will lower the team BA at Bristol. Which, sadly is already an Appalachian League low, .228. They also lead the league in most Ks. Morel fits right in.
July 19, 201213 yr Author Brent Morel @Bmorel_22 Decided to jump on the twitter frenzy since there's nothing else to do in Bristol, VA... Excited for Friday in Winston #excitedtolacethemup Not sure how to reply to all these things.. But the back is doing better than ever. Really excited to get back out there!!

Wonder if Brent can get us a scouting report on Hawkins and Barnum? Hope he does well.

July 31, 201213 yr Author Scott Merkin @scottmerkin KW said that there's no roster space for Morel right now. So they will let him play out and make a decision when they have to make one
July 31, 201213 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 18, 2012 -> 03:15 PM) Actually, that'd be Orlando Hudson. Kind of betting that if and when Morel is ready to come back the Oh-Dawg is released
July 31, 201213 yr QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 04:50 PM) Kind of betting that if and when Morel is ready to come back the Oh-Dawg is released No, Orlando backs up the middle infield. If Morel is ready to come back before the end of August they'll burn a minor league option and keep him down there. Until his rehab stint time runs out though, there's no reason to burn the option, just in case someone gets hurt and a spot where he's useful opens up.
July 31, 201213 yr He unfriended me on facebook after I posted on his wall that he sucked at hitting sliders. Be careful on the twitters, he'll un-follow you if you are critical of him and his baseball skillset.
