Hey Cheat, if you are listening, give us Charlotte's lineup tonight. I have a feeling it may look a little strange........

Found this on BA,

 

White Sox OF Brian Anderson, their first-round pick in last year's draft, has raised his batting average 125 points in ten games with a remarkable hot streak (Carolina)

An interesting stat note for White Sox LHP Arnie Munoz, who by starting the season 6-0 has recorded 12 straight Southern League wins, tying the league record. Munoz went 6-0 in the Southern League in 2002, and spent all of the 2003 with Charlotte in the International League.

Cheat, do u know if Kim was injured or not, doesn't seem right him just pitchin 2 innings. 

The anouncers said it looked as if that was the plan, for him to only go a short start like that

 

They didn't really say much else about it.

Cheat found this on Brad Thomson for u,

 

Amar A. writes: I was wondering what you thought about Cardinals Double-A pitcher Brad Thomson, who is working on a 30-plus scoreless innings streak right now. Will he join Adam Wainwright and Dan Haren in the future rotation for the Cardinals?

 

 

Thompson's numbers for Double-A Tennessee are off the charts right now: 37.1 innings, 19 hits allowed, three walks, 30 strikeouts, and zero runs allowed, earned or otherwise. He's 5-0 in five starts, with a 0.00 ERA. Obviously it can't get better than that.

 

 

The Cardinals drafted Thompson in the 16th round in 2002, out of Dixie Junior College in Utah. He spent 2003 in the bullpen at Class A Peoria, posting a 2.91 ERA and a 43/10 K/BB ratio in 65 innings, allowing 70 hits. His control was very impressive, but his K/IP and H/IP rates were below average. I gave him a Grade C in my book this year, a standard grade for an effective Class A pitcher who doesn't burn radar guns.

 

 

Thompson pitched well in the Arizona Fall League, earning his way to Double-A for 2004. Used as a starter this season, he's shown he can pound the lower half of the strike zone with his 88-92 mph sinking fastball. He also has an excellent slider, and has added an effective changeup now that he's a starter.

 

 

You have to be impressed by what he's done this year. At some point he'll give up some runs, of course, but 37 scoreless innings do wonders padding the ERA. While Thompson doesn't have as much pure stuff as Wainwright or Haren, if he stays healthy and maintains this sort of command, he could be a very fine middle rotation starter, at least in a Brad Radke sort of way, and possibly better than that.

Beatcha to it DBAHO -- I posted it inthe 5-13 games instead though.

[Chisoxfn]

McCarthy had a rough outing. Reed's been slumping a bit the past few weeks.

[winninguglyin83]

word last week was that he had TWO sore wrists.

 

his lack of power - no home runs yet, I believe -- seem to indicate that.

 

I know he's not a big HR guy, but in that park he should have a few by now.

 

he'll be fine.

[Chisoxfn]

Thanks for hte update. That makes sense to me. His wrist are probably still bothering him from the olympic trials. Wrist injuries tend to really linger and usually you need a full offseason to get over them, at the very least.

 

I also hope Borchards back gets healthy cause I'm sure thats have a huge effect on his season thus far.

 

The other thing I hope is that playing at Charlottes stadium doesn't get Reed into a flyball mode. I've noticed how good prospects go to Charlotte and then I just get miffed at what happens to them. Quite often I see their power numbers go down and it just doesn't make sense.

I have heard the lighting just sucks at Charlotte. Haven't seen it myself, but I have heard it more than once.

 

on wrist problems.......

 

I had a good friend that played in AAA for many years. About 4-5 years ago, he was off to his best start ever, hitting .320 with 7 HR and 20 RBI in April. Early in May he hurt his wrist (I don't recall specifically how) and he missed several games. He was listed as day-to-day but never went on the DL. After about two weeks he started playing again and played through the rest of the season.

 

He finished .275ish, with 8 HR and 48 RBI. The wrist injury just sapped all of his power and made it even tough to hit it well enough to hit doubles. Yet, he never went on the DL and played in over 100 games for the season. Sometimes, numbers can lie and guys like us, have no way of knowing what is really going on. Not saying that is the case with Reed..... just tossing out a real scenario.
