Big start for Beck and Hanson today. I don't think I would have said it before the season, but I look forward to Kannapolis box scores and reports. That's an exciting team.
May 6, 201411 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ May 6, 2014 -> 11:05 AM) Sure thing. Engel has been tearing it up there after a slow start. Anything from Cleluis Rondon is exciting. Trey Michalczewski is playing like an on base monster. 127 PAs, 13.4% BB% and he's gotten HBP for four times. He was at 10.4% BB% last year in 222 PAs. Really advanced approach from a kid who just turned 19. Between Trey, Engel, and Rondon I really like what I see so far this season. Dykstra and Danish have been impressive as well.
May 6, 201411 yr http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...&pid=493159 Who the hell is this guy for the Cubs' Iowa affiliate? He has been on an unreal run so far this year. Smoke and mirrors? He was with Norfolk the last two seasons.

May 6, 201411 yr Author In case no one noticed, Balta is live in right now from the BHAM game. He's also got the wheel for @FutureSox twitter, so watch there for updates.
May 6, 201411 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 6, 2014 -> 11:52 AM) Kris Bryant pulled in the 3rd inning for the Smokies. Stomach bug
May 6, 201411 yr QUOTE (flavum @ May 6, 2014 -> 01:32 PM) Beck: 6.1 ip, 8 h, 3 er, 3 bb, 3 k Pretty meh season. I think it is safe to assume that he will be a No. 4 or 5-type starter at best. Maybe just a bullpen arm. Doesn't miss bats.
May 6, 201411 yr Author QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 6, 2014 -> 01:36 PM) I think it is safe to assume that he will be a No. 4 or 5-type starter at best. Maybe just a bullpen arm. Doesn't miss bats. Right now, he's basically Charlie Shirek. But it is early to be putting a ceiling on him just yet. He's not been in the minors very long yet. He's a bigger, stronger kid than Shirek was, and he's got time to improve his offspeed stuff as well.

May 6, 201411 yr He was significantly better than his linescore today, I'll elaborate when I get an article together later this week.
May 7, 201411 yr Hanson 6 ip, 6 h, 0 er, 2 bb, 1 hbp, 5 k 94 pitches, 59 strikes Edited May 7, 201411 yr by flavum
May 7, 201411 yr Winston-Salem getting blown out of the water. Hawkins with a BB, K and outfield assist. Barnum slowly creeping towards .200.
May 7, 201411 yr QUOTE (flavum @ May 6, 2014 -> 07:56 PM) Hanson 6 ip, 6 h, 0 er, 2 bb, 1 hbp, 5 k 94 pitches, 59 strikes Right now it doesn't look like we need him but he is good insurance for when/if one of these guys starts to suck
May 7, 201411 yr QUOTE (flavum @ May 6, 2014 -> 11:15 PM) Davidson has a hand injury. Sounds minor. Hopefully time off clears his head.
May 7, 201411 yr Author QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 6, 2014 -> 11:54 PM) Hopefully time off clears his head. That, but also, it is possible the hand injury could be a reason for some of his recent struggles. He did start off hot like one week in, then fell apart.
