Is Valido hurting? Or maybe has he just hit the wall so to speak. His average has been dropping and dropping.

[DBAHO]

Anderson with another great game and a homer, a call up must be in the works soon.

Yeah, the Blakely for Martel move is curious. Why Martel? Blakely definitely told the Sox to shove it for his demotion. (He had 2 HRs)

Great news in Charlotte! The Knights won 10-9 in 10 innings over Pawtucket. Jeremy Reed went 3-6 with 2 HRs in the leadoff spot! Supposedly injured wrists take a lot of power away from a hitter so hopefully this is a sign that he has rounded the corner. Bryant Nelson also went 4-6 with a HR and 5 RBI. Mike Bell 3-5 with a HR. Rich Paz, Mario Valenzuela, and Kelly Dransfeldt also added 2 hits each. Paz is batting .327, is there any chance he could help out the Sox this season or in the future? Borchard 0-5 with a walk and a K. Tetsu Yofu made his Charlotte debut and sucked. Darensbourg and Santiago also got rocked. Box Score

[Gene Honda Civic]

Reed -- showing the power --

[DBAHO]

Yofu with 10 K's in his debut.

Yofu with 10 K's in his debut. 

Way to find a positive in an otherwise crappy outing.

Gotta keep positive there my friend.

[Guest JimH]

Looks like the first time Haigwood got rocked this year.

 

Anderson is settling in nicely, and Carlos Lee finally got over a buck fifty!

[MnSoxFan]

Yeah, the Blakely for Martel move is curious. Why Martel? Blakely definitely told the Sox to shove it for his demotion. (He had 2 HRs)

They have their starting outfield at Birm: Spidale, Bikowski and Murphy so they just needed a sub, that is what Martel does, Blakely can play full time and help out Win-Salem.

The highly touted Price Fielder with an 0-7 day = Nice

 

Baj has a Koch-like performance -- He allowed two baserunners in one inning -- His WHIP took a beating tonight

Those were his first two baserunners in his last 9 innings pitched. Finished off the inning with a double play ball to SS.

[Rex Hudler]

Way to find a positive in an otherwise crappy outing.

8 hits in 6 innings is not ideal, but only 1 walk with 10 k's does not a crappy outing make. He allowed a 3-run HR which accounted for most of his runs. Not a stellar outing by any means, but certainly not crappy.

Big Cecil was in the house a couple of times this week........ then again, he is nowhere near as big now as the Bid Daddy we once knew. He looked good.

[MurcieOne]

Charlotte pounds out 17 hits and Joe gets ZERO? Ugh.... I give up on this kid

[WHarris1]

Great to see Reed have a good game.

0.52 ERA?

[BrandoFan]

How's Baj project to the majors, stuff and control-wise?

 

Could he take Koch's spot in an emergency situ or is he a year away?

Well usually minor league relievers are not projected to the majors as you probably know so that doesn't bode well for him. I don't know much about his stuff other than the pitches that he throws (you should read the FutureSox interview with him if you haven't already). The concensus on here in many discussions has been that Baj needs some time in AAA before even being considered for a callup.
