July 18, 201312 yr http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20130718 Lots of beisbol tonight. I would think Konerko and Jacobs will be in the Birmingham lineup.
July 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 18, 2013 -> 11:26 PM) Walker not in the line up with the Jacobs addition. Mitchell is playing center. Who's that waste of space DH they have playing instead of Walker? Never heard of him.
July 18, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2013 -> 06:28 PM) Who's that waste of space DH they have playing instead of Walker? Never heard of him. You're right. Konerko. Are both Mitchell and Walker both duds prospects now? I know Mitchell is or is there still hope for Walker
July 18, 201312 yr Walker is what I'd call a disappointment, but not a bust yet. He was raw for his age and should have been playing in A-ball this year. We tend to push guys to age-appropriate levels even when their production hasn't merited it and he is a case of that. Eventually he'll make it to AAA and we won't be able to push him too fast anymore. Look for him to figure out AAA after two or three seasons ala Jordan Danks. Also, go Wilkins!

Are you saying Walker is going to turn into another Jordan Danks?
July 19, 201312 yr Walker was never supposed to be the kind of prospect Mitchell was. Mitchell played SEC baseball. Wasn't Walker a JuCo. Mitchell was the 23rd overall pick, Walker 47th. Mitchell was supposed to be something. They hoped Walker would be something. Mitchell is a bust. Too soon to say that about Walker, but I'm not optimistic. And Jacobs will fit right in -- The Whiff in first AB.
July 19, 201312 yr Author PK RBI single. Jacobs 2 K's. Barnum 4-4. When does that ever happen anymore? Edited July 19, 201312 yr by flavum
July 19, 201312 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 18, 2013 -> 06:34 PM) You're right. Konerko. Are both Mitchell and Walker both duds prospects now? I know Mitchell is or is there still hope for Walker Walker had major shoulder surgery and knee surgery last off season. The organization should of given him more time to fully heal. Both the Sox and Walker shouldn't of rushed back. This season needs to be thrown out. Now if he does this again next year than the bust label might come oout.
July 19, 201312 yr Is Bristol going to be playing the second game of the Double Header? I know there was a rain delay for Game 1.
July 19, 201312 yr Author Barnum ended up 4-5, 3 runs. Anderson 1-6, 3 K. He's been pretty good with the bat though.
July 19, 201312 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 18, 2013 -> 08:36 PM) Anderson 1-6, 3 K. He's been pretty good with the bat though. I'm not so sure he has. His K/PA is 28.4% after today. His assignment straight to Kannapolis was too aggressive IMO, but still, that's concerning.
July 19, 201312 yr Author QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 18, 2013 -> 08:49 PM) I'm not so sure he has. His K/PA is 28.4% after today. His assignment straight to Kannapolis was too aggressive IMO, but still, that's concerning. At 20, and just getting started, I'll take a batting average over .300. It's the Sox system after all, where .200 hitters are everywhere. But I see your point, and considering the Hawkins season, maybe they would be better off starting Anderson at Kanny next year.
July 19, 201312 yr 2nd game of the Bristol doubleheader has started. Sammy Ayala (.259) has been moved to the five spot in the order. Edited July 19, 201312 yr by jthunder93
July 19, 201312 yr Author Ravelo was replaced as a pinch hitter and he was DH-ing tonight. For the next 13 days, if I see something like this, I'm going to assume the player was traded. Seriously though, the deadline can't get here soon enough.

He scored from second on an error by the first baseman his previous trip. It's possible there was a play at the plate and he got hurt.
