Ozzie Ball Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 Sauer is seemingly trying to emulate Leesman with 5 BB and 0 SO so far in 3 IP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderBolt Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 It's interesting that Danks is hitting 2nd, given how many times he led off in spring even when De Aza was in the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie Ball Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) Ugly line for Sauer: 5 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 6 BB, 0 SO. 9/6 GO/AO isn't great for Sauer either. Edited April 18, 2010 by Ozzie Ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderBolt Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Viciedo 2-4. Hitting .256. I see him as more of a .275 hitter, so i'm not ready to write him off just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him as more of a .275 hitter, so i'm not ready to write him off just yet. This will be his 1st year in Charlotte of what should be 2 years. Hopefully this season he can hit for a decent avg. and show a little pop and next year is when I'd expect him to really breakout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Danks2/Mitchell, Thompson is probably my favorite prospect. He kinda stunk last season so hopefully he breaks out in a big way this year.

I wonder if the inevitable consequence of Retheford being called-up, could be Shelby going to AAA. If he keeps hitting like this, he might fall into a promotion.

scenario Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 18, 2010 -> 06:25 PM) Shelby with a double for B'ham. Hot bat. Shelby is a streaky player. When he gets hot, he gets 'carry the ballclub' type hot... lots of extra base hits... seems like he can't do anything wrong. When he's cold, he can't buy a base hit. Seems like there's not much in between. It would be great to see him even out and become more consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No good reason to bring up CJ and sit him on the bench. Might as well be in Charlotte getting at-bats and prepping to replace Nix in 2011.

He kinda stunk last season so hopefully he breaks out in a big way this year. He's by far my favorite OF prospect (Nate Jones as far as pitchers, Dan Black [tee hee] and Escobar/Gilmore tie as far as IF) has the highest potential of any OF (or dare I say.. our prospects overall, though that could be debatable) in our system currently. Has a chance to be a monster... IF everything goes right. Nick Ciolli adding to his K rate. Damn and I thought Silverio would be the one leading that offense in K's.. wow. Much better start Collop.

If he keeps hitting like this, he might fall into a promotion. He's got to be more patient at the plate though. He was much better learning from patient guys like Flowers, Beckham, Danks, etc.. last season. So far.. 0 BB 13 SO.. Don't think the sox want to promote him yet unless he's hitting like .500 for a while. Edited April 19, 2010 by SoxAce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like there's not much in between. It would be great to see him even out and become more consistent. I really wish he could play 2B. That would allow us to move Beckham...although the odds of Beckham playing SS with Guillen as manager seem to be 5-10% at best. As an outfielder, he's arguably going to have to hit at an 825-850 OPS to be a corner, unless he can trick Ozzie into believing he's a leadoff guy more in the mold of Wise/Lillibridge/Owens/Pods/Pierre.

Harry Chappas Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I am being serious when I ask where would CJ play. Omar would be the first RH and LH bat off the bench and the first 3B/SS/2B off the bench of the 2.....why I am not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
