scenario Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 W-S shortstop Greg Paiml has an 11 game hitting streak going and is batting .419 over the last 10 games. Coincidentally he went on a big hot streak at the end of the year in Great Falls last year too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Do you even need to say Eldred hit a bomb or can it just be assumed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Why was Crede out of the line-up this time? Ozzie said that he was going to hand him the starting job at 3B when he was ready to come back. Will that ever happen again with the Sox?

bighurt4life Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Danks has been showing some skill with the bat, hopefully his power can finally develop. I'm glad we got him in the system, he could be our starting CF in a couple of years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And extended their wildcard lead to 3.5 games with 8 games left in the season. Kinston is behind them and the two start a four game series in W-S on Monday. If W-S can at least split the series, it should just about lock the wildcard up. That would leave 4 games left with a 3.5 game lead. 3 out of 4 would clinch it. Go Hogs!

Too bad he missed a month, it could easily be 43-44 HR & 125 RBI at the pace he is on. Edited August 24, 2008 by JPN366 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights out All Star Barons Pitcher Of The Year. He's also going for the Southern League & Barons record for saves, the previous record is 36. He has 9 more games to get it. By the way, the Barons have turned the third most double plays in all of baseball in 2008. Edited August 24, 2008 by JPN366 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of average to below average. Half of the 6 came in the last three weeks when they started bringing him in in the 8th. So, yeah, he has been lights out the majority of the year.

He does have 25 walks and 125 K's on the season though. That's not a very good ratio and it only figures to get worse in the bigs. He's probably just a AAAA player, hasn't done much with his previous big league stints but I'd still like to see him with Charlotte next season as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
