Kannapolis Makes a Few Roster Moves

The Kannapolis Intimidators were busy on Saturday. First they received right handed pitcher Adam Larson from the Winston Salem Warthogs. Larson went 1-1 with an 8.82 ERA in 16/1/3 innings of work. He also pitched with the Intimidators earlier in the season and went 1-0 with a 3.52 ERA in 7/2/3 innings. Larson was a 15th round selection in the 2002 draft.

 

The Intimidators also received RHP Fernando Hernandez from extended spring training. Hernandez spent 2003 with the Great Falls White Sox where he went 1-3 with a 2.74 ERA in 24 games.

 

The Intimidators released Tim Tisch and placed catcher Cesar Castillo on the disabled list to make room for the two new players. Tisch entered the season in the Intimidators rotation and has been a big dissapointment. He went 1-4 with a 5.27 ERA in 12 games (6 starts). He was a 34 round selection by the White Sox in the 2001 draft. Last season he pitched with both Bristol (3-5, 3.13 ERA) and Kannapolis (1-1, 1.93 ERA).

I wonder if they are excited about Hernandez, this is from BA last year when we drafted him.

 

"Though he's just 5-foot-11, Hernandez throws harder (92-96 mph)"

 

Thats a nice arm that I had no idea about.

He did well as closer at Great Falls last year. Too bad about Tisch, I am surprised we cut him so quickly.
