scenario Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) New names in the Winston-Salem lineup tonight... Estee Harris - CF Brett Bonvechio - DH I don't know anything about either of them, but based on the little I could find, doesn't appear anything to get excited about. Both were signed as free agents after Lee Cruz and Anderson Gomes were demoted to Kanny. Edited June 19, 2008 by scenario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scenario Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) I don't think it's anything to get really excited about but Miguel Negron has had a nice run lately (batting .400 in his last 10 games). Brings his season average up to .291 (.364 OBP). Thought it was worth noting since he's a former 1st round draft pick*, plays CF, and leads off. On the season he's struck out 27 times and walked 26. Pretty good eye it looks like. *(He was the 18th overall pick of the 2000 draft by the Blue Jays.) Edited June 20, 2008 by scenario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 The Warthogs are facing 07 first rounder Ross Detwiler. Detwiler has been pretty bad since becoming a pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpy2121 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) Anyone know if Strauss will be a SP or LR in Great Falls? I've looked, but can't find anything. Edit: Sorry, didn't mean to post that in this thread. I did see how GF has no pitching match-up for tonight though. Double edit: I don't even see him on the roster their anymore. He was yesterday with no number. Edited June 20, 2008 by chimpy2121 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double edit: I don't even see him on the roster their anymore. He was yesterday with no number. Good catch chimpy. Not sure what happened. There has been a little bit of roster juggling going on this week. I would guess that Strauss will either show up on Kanny's roster or reappear in GF pretty soon. Whether he is a starter or reliever... I would guess (just my opinion) that the Sox will make him a starter to give him more innings and accelerate his development. He could still turn out to be a reliever later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scenario Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) Charlotte lost 8-2. Yikes. Not a good game for Egbert or anyone else for that matter. Birmingham lost 7-3. Dewon Day is looking lost. Gave up 4 runs on 2 hits in two innings... because he walked 5 guys. Sort of sad for a guy with such a good arm. Ryan O'Malley was no better in relief. On the bright side, Miguel Negron went 2-4 with a homerun and 2 RBIs. And Gartrell got two hits. Winston-Salem won 4-2. Nice relief job by Jacob Rasner who lowered his season ERA to 3.06. Another save for Texeira, who was just picked for the Carolina League all-star team. CJ Retherford with 2 hits, including a double and an RBI. CJ Lang also with 2 hits and an RBI. Good night for guys named CJ, I guess. LOL. Kanny lost 10-2. Bad night for Levi Maxwell who has otherwise been very good this year. Miranda went 3-3. Jim Gallagher and Logan Johnson each got 2 hits. Gallagher is up to .251 now after a very rough start. He hit .332 with a .953 OPS for GF last year. It would be really nice to see him get it going. (Baseball America named Gallagher the best pure hitter and fastest baserunner out of our 2007 draft class.) Bristol lost 4-3 in 10 innings. Their 2nd extra inning game out of 3 games this week. New Bristol CF and 2008 draftee Justin Greene went 3-4 with a homerun and a double. He's 4-6 in his two games since joining the team. The GF game is still going on...

JPN366 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Estee Harris was a former Yankees prospect who's been playing for the Long Island Ducks the last two years. He's only 23. Brett Bonvechio is a former Red Sox and Padres prospect who's been playing for the Camden Riversharks this year. He was teammates with current Barons catcher Erick San Pedro with the Riversharks before San Pedro was signed by Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPN366 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) About tonights Barons game, I call that a punch to the gut game. Why? Because the Barons were down but chipping away. Micah Schnurstein, who's been struggling this year and is hitting under .200, blasts a three run homer to left to make it a one run game. But no...the f---ing umpires gather together and decide it wasn't a homer. The homeplate ump called it a homerun originally, but allows himself to be overruled by the the 1st base ump. Let that sink in a bit...homerun to left, homeplate ump calls it so, 1ST BASE UMP OVERRULES! Carlos Subero got tossed for arguing. Schnurstein proceeded to strike out. He said something to the umpire and he got tossed. Now, it was Thirsty Thursday, so the crowd got real ugly after that. Then the Barons lost. Like I said, a punch to the gut game.

scenario Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 Great Falls won 6-5 to sweep the Helena Brewers... on the road. Nevin Griffith had a nice start: 5 innings; 2 runs (0 earned); on 4 hits; 4 K's; and no walks. Drew O'Neil got a rough introduction to pro ball: 1 1/3 innings; gave up 3 runs, all earned on 4 hits + a walk. Joshua Billeaud with the win in 2 innings of scoreless, hitless relief. Offensive stars of the game? Nick Mahin with two hits including a 2-run homerun. And KW Jr. who went 2-3 including a double, walked once, and scored 2 runs.

BearSox Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 that's a positive outing from Nevin Griffith. He was probably my favorite pick from last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
