DirtySox Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 10:42 AM) Except Jeff Keppinger's not exactly going to get us over the top. He can take Vizquel's spot and save us some money for 2012. That's about it. That's fine though. He still has value as a utility guy. This assessment of Kuhn isn't a surprise. Not many had thought him an impact prospect in the first place. Edited August 11, 2011 by DirtySox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serafin didn't really dominate the way this guy is, though. And I think Walters has more velocity. Serafin has dropped off the screen, as you probably noticed, he seems to basically be capped at A ball. Hopefully this guy does better than that.

And I think Walters has more velocity. Serafin has dropped off the screen, as you probably noticed, he seems to basically be capped at A ball. Hopefully this guy does better than that. I don't think there's too much of a difference. Serafin is a 5'10 lefty, Walters is a 6' lefty. Both came from mid-major D1 college programs. Serafin didn't put up the strikeout numbers Walters did, but he had a 20:5 K:BB ratio for Bristol and then put up 38:9 in 42.1 innings for Kannapolis as a rookie. Walters now has a 53:9 in 48 innings for Great Falls. The K rate is much better and he's a year younger than Serafin was as a rookie, but he's also doing it in rookie ball while Serafin did it in Kanny. I said Walters is probably a bit better, but I see a lot of similarities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was hit to right-center, and figured the fence there was like 370 or so. That HR must have gone almost 500 ft, or at least 470.

JPN366 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Justin Greene apparently has been moved up to Charlotte as well. Two new players for Charlotte, but their roster was full, who goes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw Wes pitch last week, looks like he is very consistent with the delivery and release point. Sidearm/submarine lefty can be nasty in the right spot.

Best theory I got. Yes. Playoff rosters have to be finalized by the middle of August in the Southern League. Charlotte's not going to the playoffs. In Justin Greene's case, having a batting average 60 points higher than KW Jr. doesn't mean you won't lose playing time to Daddy's boy. But, I guess he doesn't mind the promotion.
