dasox24 Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Thought I'd add what I wrote up on Welker last summer... Kris Welker – C – U. of Iowa – 5’11’, 200 Welker, the White Sox’ 41st round pick, has already signed and is playing for Bristol of the rookie Appalachian (Appy) League. After playing two seasons at the College of Southern Idaho, Welker headed off to the University of Iowa, where he put up very solid numbers. As a senior, Welker hit .356 with four home runs and a team-best 16 doubles and 46 RBI. He was also a third-team all- Big Ten selection. Welker is a very hardnosed ballplayer, whose swing should transfer over well to the professional game. Currently, the previous statement seems to be true as Welker leads the Appy League in both average and on-base %. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3E8 Posted April 9, 2006 Author Share Posted April 9, 2006 Welker started for Kanny today at second base. Looks like he may get some work there due to Hernandez being the Intimidators' starting catcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3E8 Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 Either never placed on the DL or activated already, Welker started at catcher tonight going 0 for 3. Still hitless on the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
