justBLAZE Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Awesome, I know it was only spring training but man I enjoyed watching this kid play for the limited amount of time he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Fantastic news. Getting him into the AFL will be big because it will at least help get him ready for next year so that he can maybe start next season and hit the ground running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 This is ahead of schedule? Good news and all, but I thought him in the AFL was the original target. Meh, I just hope he is 100% and his speed is not hurt too much by this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I saw his injury happen in person and it was an awful thing to see. It's great to see him on track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Hopefully with the AFL and winter leagues he can makeup some lost time and tear up AA next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggins Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 (edited) I think it is just an instructional league this fall and not the AFL that is the goal. Edited May 28, 2010 by daggins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know if those were the words I would have used, given the situation... Otherwise, this is great to hear and seeing him in Spring Training he was easily one of my favorite players to watch.

Yeah, they now have two leagues in the fall in AZ, plus the non-competition instructional league. They might mean the second (younger) AFL league, or they may mean just the unofficial league. Hard to say, but I'd bet they do NOT mean the top line AFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a six to nine month injury when it happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Today Mitchell said he could be back by September. September call up? Not a chance, but I'd actually go and pay money to see Mitchell play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a chance, but I'd actually go and pay money to see Mitchell play. Considering the minor league season raps up the first week of September the AZ Fall League is probably the goal.

ThunderBolt Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 September? That'd be incredible. I'm sure the organization doesn't want him to push himself too hard, but that'd be incredible for him to get some at-bats at the minor league complex and get ready for the AFL.
