May 12, 201312 yr http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20130512 Winston-Salem playing a suspended game. Danks later.
May 12, 201312 yr Danks allows three singles, a double and two runs. no Ks in first inning. 26 pitches, 19 strikes
May 12, 201312 yr QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ May 12, 2013 -> 03:06 PM) more improvement by Danks. 6 innings, 7 hits, 3 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 5 K. He recovered nicely, but I won't be satisfied until I see his velocity back in the low 90s.
May 12, 201312 yr QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ May 12, 2013 -> 05:04 PM) He recovered nicely, but I won't be satisfied until I see his velocity back in the low 90s. With minor league guns, you're not going to be satisfied until he's back in the big leagues.
May 13, 201312 yr I am going to make a bold prediction that Michael Earley will make it to the majors before Thompson, Walker and Mitchell (it's depressing, but I could see it happening). He is not going to be a starter, but he can be a solid fourth outfielder for our team. I've followed him a bit for the better part of the past two years, he looks like he has a good bat, make solid contact with the ball, and doesn't strike out often. We can definitely use such a player off the bench. If he keeps hitting, he could very well get a spring training invite, and make it to the majors as early as next year.

Which positions can he play confidently?
May 13, 201312 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 12, 2013 -> 10:35 PM) Does anybody know anything about Miguel Gonzalez?? He is hitting .326 in AA. He was a top Sox prospect (Top 10 list) half a decade ago.
May 13, 201312 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 13, 2013 -> 02:59 AM) He was a top Sox prospect (Top 10 list) half a decade ago. And yet he's still only 22 years old. He's had a nice start to the year but he's only played part time and has less than 50 ABs.
May 13, 201312 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 12, 2013 -> 10:55 PM) How good is his defense? Which positions can he play confidently? He was in LF when I saw them, looks like he can cover LF and RF. He's putting up good numbers but he's been old for every level. He's 25 now in his first year in AA.
May 13, 201312 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 12, 2013 -> 09:55 PM) How good is his defense? Which positions can he play confidently? I've tried to dig up scouting reports on Earley, haven't seen anything yet. Hard to say for sure if he's "real" based just on his numbers, when he's 25 in AA (which isn't OLD, but it isn't young either, probably more old than young).
May 13, 201312 yr Like Balta said, he can play both LF and RF. He was an RF in college and even as recent as last year, but making the transition to LF this year in favor of Thompson. I read that he's a good fielder in college, but not a plus by any means. If he's to make it to the big leagues, it will be because of his bat.
