April 3, 201412 yr In addition to having this thread for game days, and the @FutureSox twitter posting information... we now have a plan in place for doing daily recap write-ups on the blog. Two regular posters in this forum (raBBit, soutside hitman) have volunteered to take on these daily/nightly duties. So, if all goes to plan, starting tonight until early September, there will be content on the blog every day. You'll be able to bring up the blog and see an overview of what transpired in all the Sox affiliate games, with links to boxes, stats and fun facts. The recaps will go up in the evenings after games are finished, or on occasion, the next morning. TODAY'S STARTERS: Charlotte @ Norfolk, 6:05pm CT, Scott Carroll starts Birmingham @ Montgommery, 7:05pm CT, Chris Beck starts Wilmington @ Winston-Salem, 6:00pm CT, JB Wendelken starts Greenville @ Kannapolis, 6:05pm CT, James Dykstra starts

April 3, 201412 yr Is Goldberg one of those guys that is starting just to get innings, but will end up a reliever if he makes it? Edited April 3, 201412 yr by flavum

I'm interested in the fact that there are two interesting arms converting to starters that go today (Wendelken, Dykstra). QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 10:38 AM) Is Goldberg one of those guys that is starting just to get innings, but will end up a reliever if he makes it? This is something the Sox do often. They pick a few key relief arms, particularly ones that are relatively young or raw, and convert them to starting. Nate Jones, Jake Petricka, and Chris Bassitt are all examples in recent years. It is a win-win thing. Likely scenario, they aren't great at starting, but they are forced to learn how to go from being a thrower to a pitcher - and then they go back to the pen better pitchers (see Jones, Petricka). Occasionally, they may actually excel at starting, and hey, bonus - you have another starter (i.e. Bassitt, at least so far). Goldberg did start in college BTW.
April 3, 201412 yr http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20140403 Winston-Salem's lineup is going to be fun to follow, hopefully.
April 3, 201412 yr Wendelken scoreless first inning...Mondesi and Starling retired, E5 on Basto, E6 on Anderson-through the wickets. Next guy flew out. May, Anderson, Hawkins due up...
April 3, 201412 yr E6 Anderson with a throwing error. Handles a DP on the next pitch. Edited April 3, 201412 yr by flavum
April 3, 201412 yr Hoping to see Beck significantly increase his K rate this year. Until then I see him as a back-end of the rotation guy at best.
April 4, 201412 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 07:18 PM) First pitch triple for Micah. He would fit nicely with Abreu and Eaton!
April 4, 201412 yr Double for Hawkins, steals 3rd, run scored Barnum walks again. Edited April 4, 201412 yr by flavum
