August 10, 201411 yr http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20140810 Charlotte- Rienzo (Shawn Hill released this morning) Birmingham- Jaye Winston Salem- Wendelken Kannapolis- Guerrero Great Falls- Ball AZL- TBA DSL is off today.
August 10, 201411 yr Author Knights roughing up Henry Owens in the 3rd. Good to see. Mitchell 1-1 BB and R Sanchez 1-2 RBI Avi 1-2 RBI, R, K Wilkins 1-2 2B, RBI Semien 1-2 2B, RBI Davidson 0-2 Knights up 4-2
August 10, 201411 yr I understand that it is totally foolish, but I haven't 100% given up on Mitchell yet. He is striking out less. If he puts the ball in play, he has a chance of being a DeAza type with better defense. Still not worth drafting ahead of Trout, but not a release candidate right now IMHO.
August 10, 201411 yr Author Is Miguel Gonzalez much of a prospect? I know he's rated as the best defensive catcher in the system and in triple A while only 23. Whats the profile on him?
August 10, 201411 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 03:32 PM) Is Miguel Gonzalez much of a prospect? I know he's rated as the best defensive catcher in the system and in triple A while only 23. Whats the profile on him? His OPS above rookie ball is about .600. He's never been used as a full-time starter even in the minors. If we had a team that didn't need offense maybe we wouldn't care about our backup catcher hitting under .200. Solid in the run game.

Hopefully, he's starting to figure things out and finally bringing it all together.
August 10, 201411 yr Author QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 02:48 PM) Charlotte lineup making a really tough pitcher in Henry Owens work really hard. 100 pitches thru 5 for Owens. Good to see that Charlotte line up have success against one of the top prospects in the game. QUOTE (OilCan @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 02:50 PM) It's not foolish.

August 10, 201411 yr QUOTE (OilCan @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 02:50 PM) It's not foolish. Hopefully, he's starting to figure things out and finally bringing it all together. He is a guy who has missed a ton of developmental time. He was a part time baseball player through college, then he had the catastrophic injury which basically cost him two years of developmental time. I am not going to say it is happening for sure, but to say he is the typical 25 year old minor leaguer is not accurate.
August 10, 201411 yr One of my personal favorite spects Guerrero pitching very well. 4 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 0 BB 5 SO.
August 10, 201411 yr Hawkins fading down the stretch, as he's really struggling hitting the ball out of the park of late.
August 11, 201411 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 07:48 PM) Wendelken with a great outing. 7IP 5H 1ER 1BB 5Ks Peavy trade looking better and better. Won't be able to tell for sure for a long time, but the early returns are good.

August 11, 201411 yr QUOTE (oldsox @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 07:45 PM) really? We drafted him in the same draft like three picks before Trout. I think we made a mistake. Do you disagree?
August 11, 201411 yr Author QUOTE (Timmy U @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 09:54 PM) We drafted him in the same draft like three picks before Trout. I think we made a mistake. Do you disagree? Sox drafted 23rd. Angels 24th. So 23 other teams made mistakes too.
August 11, 201411 yr Author Adam Lopez is back. Started and pitched an inning for the AZL team. 0 hits 0 runs and 2 Ks. Valerio pitching real well tonight. 4IP 0H 6Ks
August 11, 201411 yr QUOTE (Timmy U @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 09:54 PM) We drafted him in the same draft like three picks before Trout. I think we made a mistake. Do you disagree? Ya, Mitchell is a much better player than this Trout guy.
August 11, 201411 yr Every team lost tonight. It's amazing how the bad bullpen is not ust an issue with the major league team...the minor league teams can't hold leads either. Donnie Veal did was Donnie Veal does best.
August 11, 201411 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 10, 2014 -> 10:23 PM) Sox drafted 23rd. Angels 24th. So 23 other teams made mistakes too. Not exactly the same mistake; Sox only team to draft Mitchell instead of Trout. Some of the other 22 teams probably drafted a pretty good baseball player; Sox got a football player. Just meaningless hindsight blabber now. Mitchell looked pretty good for a year or two. It would be interesting to see those first round picks if you have the link. Was Mitchell a surprise pick that year? Can't remember.
