Charlie Leesman might move up the ranks quickly. I heard Cooper mention him a couple times during spring training as one of the good arms in minor league camp. Now he's 2-0 with 0.75 ERA.

Gameday isn't working. I know it's 2-0 Barons. Flowers tripled, Viciedo singled scoring Flowers , but I don't know what happened before that.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Apr 16, 2009 -> 10:43 AM) Brandon Allen needs to be promoted to Charlotte. I think that could happen mid-season. I think the first half ends in late June. Maybe they let this team win a first half division, and then make some changes. As much as I would like to see Beckham up in the bigs, it's been fun following this Birmingham team more than the actual White Sox so far. I'd kind of like to see them all stay together.

JPN-I think it was you that said you weren't impressed with Jhonny Nunez. What specifically don't you like? I know he doesn't have the greatest stuff, but the couple times I saw him on TV in spring training, I really liked his mound presence, and he's been getting outs...and plenty of k's.

Is Beckham 2-3 or 1-2 with 2 walks? I think the Gameday may be off. ??

Second time up, Beckham flew out to the LF warning track.

I think Beckham just has three doubles.

Beckham at it already. Double, run. 3-0 B'ham. E6 on Beckham. Routine play. Bobbled. Third error in his 6th game.

Infante: 0 runs in 12 innings this season. 13 K's

My expectations for Jordan Danks are low. Let's see what he can do over the next couple years, and then talk in 2011.

Contreras is still pitching tomorrow. If he's bad tomorrow, they can skip him to the 25th. If he's bad on the 25th, they can skip him to May 5th. I like how that option sets up, with the off days on the 20th and 30th.

I'll guess it's a day/nighter on Friday, July 24.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Apr 14, 2009 -> 11:20 AM) One of the guys pitching tomorrow would have to pitch Sunday. Oh yeah. Duh.

They'll probably play, but this wouldn't be the worst game to get rained out. Both teams have next Monday off, so they wouldn't have to worry about pitching anyone on short rest if there is a doubleheader on Wednesday.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Apr 13, 2009 -> 10:25 PM) Apparently Victor and Lucas have "history." The Barons announcer siad Beckham getting hit tonight was payback. Started a nice rally.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 13, 2009 -> 10:31 PM) "Our Evan Longoria?" I think so. What I want to know---why the hell did the Reds pass on Beckham for another lefty 1B, in Alonso? They have Votto and Bruce for lefty power. I'm not saying Alonso is going to be a bust, but wow I think they blew it. So, thank you, Reds.

QUOTE (chunk23 @ Apr 13, 2009 -> 09:02 PM) I think Allen is gonna force KW's hand the way Howard forced Thome out. Of course it was a lot easier to trade Thome back then compared to trying to trade one of Thome/Konerko. Every time I get frustrated by the current White Sox, I'm going to remind myself that the future of this team is going to get better and soon. We're in the last year of this old team.

Charlotte got a hit. Whoopee. Barons up 6-0. John Ely threw 5 shutout innings. 2 hits. 4 walks. 5 strikeouts.

Charlotte no hits through 7. Beckham HBP. RBI singles by Allen and Viciedo. 4-0 Barons.

Charlotte no hits thru 6. Must miss JO.

I like them. Hawk is still the same, but he can't push Stone around like he did DJ.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Apr 13, 2009 -> 05:34 PM) Since 2006. Homestands are either 5 or 10 days. Only one 10 game homestand this year for the Barons though. Interesting. I guess this is the first time I looked at minor league schedule.

I noticed the AA schedule is pretty much all 5-game series throughout the season. Is this new for 2009, or have they done this before? I kinda like it. One time through everyone's rotation.
