April 21, 201511 yr http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20150421 Charlotte- Beck Birmingham- Blackmar Winston Salem- Heidenreich Kannapolis- Martinez and Almonte Charlotte about to play right now.
April 21, 201511 yr Poor Knights, didn't really get to take advantage of the Carlos Rodon marketing potential...they still have him on their home page banner.
April 21, 201511 yr I feel bad for all the NC St. fans that bought tickets for the Charlotte/Durham game today thinking Rodon would be pitching. However, I heard the stadium is full due to it being a school field trip day.
April 21, 201511 yr Author QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 10:36 AM) Feel bad for Jared Mitchell's career. 2/28, 15 K's. Nearing the end. Sometimes it's just best to get a fresh start. Sox need to release him.
April 21, 201511 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 10:36 AM) Feel bad for Jared Mitchell's career. 2/28, 15 K's. Nearing the end. I thought he might have something left after his re-promotion last year. But at ST, he just looked defeated every time I saw him. Even when he wasn't doing baseball things, he had the look of a man who had no hope.
April 21, 201511 yr If Mitchell keeps doing THIS badly, in say May or June, I'd say it's time to cut ties. Jason Coats is doing well in AA, and would be more age-appropriate in AAA anyway, so send him up. Hawkins and May aren't ready. Josh Richmond should be healthy around that time too so he's also a possibility to replace Mitchell in Charlotte.
April 21, 201511 yr Mitchell is now 2-31 with 18 strikeouts. I'm very confident unless he's used as a pinch runner, he will never help the White Sox win games.

I'd like to see Coats called up too, very polished hitter and a very shrewd draft pick by Hahn in 2012 getting him in the 29th round coming off an injury.

I'm a fan. Unusual combo of good contact and power, short and quick stroke, some speed, good to better defense on the corners with a strong arm, can even play CF with some acceptable competence (though he's really more a corner guy long term). Considering he got a late start he's done well. I want to see him in AAA sometime this year, probably late in the year though.
April 22, 201511 yr Luis Martinez: 4.2 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 4 SO. Rondon 2-3, 2B, HR Already equalled his HR tally from last year (1).
April 22, 201511 yr Anderson batting 2nd at BHam tonight...wonder if this is to coax him into taking more pitches. As good as he's been, no walks the first two weeks of the season is not encouraging. Even by the Sox poor standard of plate discipline.
April 22, 201511 yr QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 08:21 PM) Buddy Bell has one more conference call to pitch Jared Mitchell's potential. Im really rotfling
April 22, 201511 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 09:39 PM) 2 errors on 3 plays for Anderson. He had been doing great on defense Well, he hadn't been making errors, but that doesn't necessarily mean much. Have you watched any of the games?
April 22, 201511 yr QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 22, 2015 -> 08:15 AM) Well, he hadn't been making errors, but that doesn't necessarily mean much. Have you watched any of the games? Rondon has 3 errors as well and he is regarded as possibly the best defensive SS in the minors. I wouldnt worry too much about 3 errors.
