May 14, 201411 yr Birmingham already underway, Doyle got the start, tied 2-2 in the 4th Scoreboard The night games, all 6:05CT... Leesman for Charlotte Wendelken for W-S Barnette for Kanny (MiLB has it incorrectly as Dykstra)
May 14, 201411 yr Author Terry Doyle is 28 year old putting up a 6+ ERA, batters hitting nearly .300 against him and nothing stand-out in his peripherals. This is his 4th year in AA or higher. At this point I'd think they should just release him, put Recchia in there and move Sanchez to Recchia's spot. Doyle was just org filler, but at least you can give the somewhat younger guys a shot to show something. Also frees a spot in Kanny for Brennan to come back or Ball to get going.
May 14, 201411 yr Author Oops, forgot, that spot in AA is probably Bassitt's when he comes back. And now that I bring it up, he said he'd be back real soon like a month ago, might need to check in on that.
May 14, 201411 yr Barons lose in a rain shortened game. They were beaten by an RBI double by Juan Silverio (yes that Juan Silverio).

Oh man, I didn't even realize he wasn't in our system anymore. We signed him when he was like 16 or something. I guess in 2013 with the Reds High-A and AA, he hit .287 with 19 HR and 31 2B.

He was signed in 2007(!) out of the DR during the Wilder scandal years I believe.

May 15, 201411 yr For f***'s sake Davidson. I'm a pretty optimistic guy, but can you please not be like every other promising offensive player the White Sox get who always play worse than they ever have?
May 15, 201411 yr I know Tim Anderson is coming off an injury, but he needs to get it cranked up. 13 errors too.

Anderson is always going to be one of those players who won't look great statistically in the minors...but the hope is one day that the whole athletic package will just click in terms of baseball skills/performance/results. (Yes, it seems like we've been saying that for decades now about numerous hitting prospects). I wouldn't worry about error totals until AA. If they have to move him off SS (to 2B, 3B or OF), that's when we can start to worry a bit. Actually, if he could translate his speed into steals (which he hasn't done at a high clip like Johnson), he could be a Chone Figgins "jack of all trades" type with more power and a bit less speed who could play all over the field like a Zobrist. I'm sure that's not the preferable outcome, though, for the front office. Edited May 15, 201411 yr by caulfield12

He's been unable to string together good at bats since the first week of the season. For now, Gillaspie seems to be the 3B of the present and future for this organization.

It's getting confusing now. After Tulo, the Giants' Crawford might be the best young SS in the game today. Then you've got Carl in LA.
May 15, 201411 yr This is just so disappointing. Thank god Gillaspie is solid this year. Davidsons still young enough. Hope he turns it around. Can't wait to follow Micah at AAA. So is Danish a AAA promotion candidate or will they take their time with him?

Can't wait to follow Micah at AAA. So is Danish a AAA promotion candidate or will they take their time with him? Danish is unlikely to be in AAA until late next year or early 2016. Unless they push him up quickly as a reliever/closer, which is pretty unlikely at this juncture. They're going to give him all the time in the world to prove he can stick as a starter first.

I am sure he will stay at A+ for the rest of the year. They said he has a 100 IP limit
May 15, 201411 yr QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ May 15, 2014 -> 02:47 AM) I hope Danish stays in A+ the rest of the year. I don't, if he keeps dominating his level then keep pushing him up.

I don't think someone with those R/L splits is in the future of anything other than a platoon at 3B.
May 15, 201411 yr Author Cleto hit 100 on the gun last night. Source says Thaddius Lowry is the guy who will take Danish's spot in the Kanny rotation. I thought it might be Brennan, who should be back around now.

Brandon Crawford is white (so no relation to Carl or JP), 27, and not that good. And Xander Bogaerts is a way, way better SS prospect and young player in the majors. You make some off the wall posts, but this might be the most off the wall post you've ever made.
