Nice to see Viciedo getting some knocks the last couple games. Hopefully he takes off from here.
Retherford with a dinger too. 3-2 Barons
W-S's Shirek--7 innings, 4 hits, 0 runs, 1 BB, 8 K's
Danks 2-4, up to .325.
Might Danks be moved up to Birmingham this year?
Only Birmingham and Winston-Salem playing tonight.
W-S leading 2-0, 4th inning
Danks 1-2, Run
Paiml and Morel with RBIs
Birmingham starts at 7:05CT
Beckham is the DH

I believe that he was drafted by us as a draft-and-follow player (whatever the hell that means) the previous season. FYI, he is the brother of Nationals 1B Eli Marrero
I just edited it when I realized he was a draft and follow. He was the 22nd rounder in 2005.
Hope he continues to progress. The more pieces the Sox have, the better.

Right now, Christian Marrero is THE hottest hitter in the WhiteSox organization.
2-3 today so far with a homerun...
Currently batting .397 (27 for 68) on the season.
Marrero also threw a runner out at home from RF today.
Might be time to consider this guy a legit prospect. He's the same age as Beckham and Danks, and he's put up solid numbers since being signed in 2006.
Quality Start for John Ely for B'ham. 6 inn, 6 hits, 2 runs, 3 BB, 6 K
Podsednik is 3-4, HBP, picked off for Charlotte. Boone Logan hit him.
Nix didn't play.
Beckham 2-3, 2 doubles, walk (.317)
Flowers 2-4, HR, 2 RBIs (.333)
Allen 1-4 (.323)
Jordan Danks, 3-3, 2 doubles, 2 walks, sb
Dayan Viciedo is 0-3, GDP. Now at .185. Let me know when I should start worrying this guy isn't ready for AA ball.
Derek Rodriguez has been added to the Charlotte roster.
6:00 Charlotte @ Gwinnett- Wes Whisler
7:05 Birmingham @ Mobile- John Ely
6:00 Wilmington @ Winston-Salem- Matt Long
6:00 Kannapolis @ Hickory- Garrett Johnson

Guys they need a long reliever. Forget Nunez and Link. Plus they have no 40 man roster spots.
Link and Nunez are already on the 40-man.
The 40-man is at 38, so they could possibly add a John Van Benschoten.
I hope it isn't Russell just because he's had a couple good outings.
