6/25 Games

Featured Replies

BHAM's day game is the annual Rickwood Classic at the old time park. Also have the old time uniforms on.

 

Michalczewski 4-5

 

Dykstra 6.2 inn, 3 hits, 2 unearned (gave up a homer), 0 bb, 7 k

Kanny up 12-2 in the 8th. Michalczewski having himself a game 4-5 and a BB.

Michalczewski stays in Kanny all year despite production right?

He won't even be 20 until next February, I would say he should stay in Kannapolis all year. However, the White Sox are very aggressive with their assignments and it wouldn't surprise me if they promoted him.

I think it would probably be best. He's young and this is his first full season blah blah but still the strikeouts are far too high. 27.8 K% coming into today and it's been getting worse:

April- 25.5 K%

May- 26.6 K%

June- 31.0 K%

Walks trending in the wrong direction also:

April- 14.2 BB%

May- 9.2 BB%

June- 8.3 BB%

 

Overall walks are very nice though and power at least solid. He's been better than expected for me this year but no reason to rush him.

Depends what they want to do with Basto. He is currently on the DL but has handled WS pretty well and there is no one in BHam that is blocking him. Knowing the Sox, they will both move up a level at some point this season.

 

Speaking of promotions, I imagine Peter will be headed to Kanny pretty soon the way he has torn through the Pioneer league this far.

If WS makes a playoff run, I would expect a promotion for that. Otherwise, probably not.

Phegley replaced 2 days ago and benched yesterday, Kevan Smith sitting out today... might be nothing (particularly since Birmingham had a day game after a night game) but would like to see Smith in Charlotte.

I think Smith needs to have time taken with him to work on defense.

Speaking of Jake Peter, I was listening to a post-Draft Day 1 podcast from Baseball America, and I was surprised to hear how good of a pick they thought Jake Peter was. I must be mixing up my prospects, because I thought he was supposed be a "save money" type pick, not anyone to be excited about. But they said they really liked pick.... And to be exact, John Manuel said this about Peter....

 

"Jacob Peter is the perfect second basemen with big time arm strength to turn the DP. Oh by the way, he's 92-94 off the mound."

 

And now, of course, he is dominating.

 

Also in that podcast, they spoke for a few minutes about Brett Austin and how they loved his make-up and his personality. I guess he caught MULTIPLE double-headers and they said the is just a very tough catcher who loves to catch and they think he's got a good chance to stick at C for that reason.

Basto is in AZL right now, last I checked anyway.

Saw a photo of Smith in full Birmingham Rickwood Classic uniform before today's game, so I don't think he's headed anywhere just yet.

On the bright side, it's literally impossible for him to be a worse defender than Phegley

Davidson homers in his 2nd AB

Anyone else think that Heath might be next in line to be called up for a spot start? His last 5 games as a starter have been pretty impressive.

Surkamp will before him. Surkamp has a 40 man spot. Heath does not.

Good point, I didn't think about that. Surkamp's definitely earned it with his recent performances, the strikeout numbers are very encouraging.

Michael Taylor has been doing quite nicely since he's come over, 1-2 with a walk tonight

How many HRs for Davidson?

13 I'm pretty sure, would have to double-check at MILB.com though.

it is indeed 13 -- fourth highest total in the International League.

 

The only guys he trails are career minor leaguers -- Dan Johnson (16), Ruben Gotay (14) and Mike Hessman (14).

 

So maybe there is hope.

 

A little.

Ruben Gotay, really? Former Royals' journeyman infielder. That's crazier than Wilson Betemit's 8 homers in spring training.

Wilkins has same HR total as Davidson.

He is in the AZL, but is also listed on the 7 day DL at W-S, so it looks more like a rehab assignment than a re-assignment.
