Cali Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Nice to see Thompson hitting well right off the DL. Picking up right where he left off.... AFL a possibility for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 06:14 PM) He'd be perfect for it. Is there a limit on number of guys we can send to the AFL? Isn't it like 6 players or something like that? Sale, Flowers, Viciedo start off the list. Wasn't there talk of Mitchell possibly being ready by then?

justBLAZE Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 So how about this Morel kid, many loved him before me being very skeptical but the kid is having hell of a season? Is Charlotte more of a hitter or pitchers park? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Charlotte more of a hitter or pitchers park? Charlotte is a stellar hitters park. Birmingham is a pitcher's park. Morel has hit well in both.

Morel has hit well in both. Showing a bit more power in Charlotte but this explains it. Any chance he plays 3B for the Sox next year? Maybe an ideal 2nd hitter?

Ozzie Ball Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 24, 2010 -> 11:14 PM) He'd be perfect for it. I don't know. He's still very raw. Facing that level of pitching may be a step too far for him at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facing that level of pitching may be a step too far for him at this point. Yeah, he's probably a better candidate next season. Each team is allowed only one player that hasn't played at AA so you have to be careful how you use that spot. I bet we see Escobar play in the AFL. It would explain the promotion to AA.

Any chance he plays 3B for the Sox next year? Maybe an ideal 2nd hitter? Long term he's a possible 2 hitter, but I don't know if anyone knows how his bat will develop. If he keeps hitting well, then I think he's a mid-season callup next year, but especially if he's rehabbing a shoulder I have difficulty fathoming KW putting him on the board to start the year. It might, however, make KW less hesitant about going in to the regular season with Vizquel as his primary 3b and Teahen as his backup...because if the ancient one gets hurt or struggles for 2 months, he'd have another option.

They've said over and over that he was going to the AFL since the day he signed. When you count the cape cod league, he's still well below his innings total from last year.

NorthSideSox72 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Remember too the AFL took on a second level last year as a pilot program, and may go full-on with it this year. So you have your traditional AFL, then a lower-level league equivalent. So guys like Viciedo and other advanced prospects (maybe Mitchell) go to the traditional one, guys like Thompson go to the lower level one.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Arroyo with another dominating start. 7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 7 K. Now 77 K and 11 BB in 69 innings. Very nice WHIP too of 0.89. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Wilkins is 1/1 with a 2B, BB, and SB so far. Phegley went 3/4 with a 2B. He is really coming on strong since the injury. AVG up to .321 Morel went 1/4 with a 2B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is really coming on strong since the injury. AVG up to .321 Morel went 1/4 with a 2B. That is so great to see from Josh, I'm really happy for him. I honestly thought it was more likely he'd be out of baseball next year, than getting a promotion this year and performing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
