danman31 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I saw 20th rounder Justin Greene on Bristol's roster. I also found an article about him that gives a bit of background on him. White Sox take FMU's Greene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) When Great Falls comes to Billings to play the Reds affiliate-Billings Mustangs I'll give you a report on what I see in Oney Guillen and KW2. Billings has a new ballpark opening this year and games should be real fun. Edited June 14, 2008 by elrockinMT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scenario Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) This from the Great Falls Tribune this morning... Newly signed pitchers Dan Hudson and Dexter Carter will be arriving in Great Falls any day now. Hudson was 5-6 with a 4.76 earned-run average this spring. The righthander led the Colonial Athletic Conference in strikeouts (107 in 92 innings). In three seasons, Hudson amassed 295 strikeouts in 292 innings, which ranks second all-time at ODU. The 6-3, 200-pounder was a second-team all-CAA choice this spring after making the first team a year ago. Carter, meanwhile, is a 6-6, 198-pounder who was 3-4 with an 8.76 ERA. In two years at Old Dominion Carter fanned 100 hitters in 107 innings. Manager Chris Cron said first baseman Doug Thennis of Texas Tech (27th round) is slated to join Voyagers soon. The veteran manager is also hopeful that Wichita State outfielder Ken Williams Jr., the son of the Chisox general manager, will soon sign and be dispatched to Great Falls. http://www.greatfallstribune.com/apps/pbcs...317/1006/SPORTS Edited June 14, 2008 by scenario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palehosefan Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 The organization seems to be getting most of the overdrafts signed quickly, to give themselves plenty of time and money to go after the bigger names. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
