danman31 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Escobar went yard! Birmingham box score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Gac with his 8th HR. I wonder if he gets a called up to AA any time soon, or if the Sox let him rake at High-A and then trade him at some point since 1B is blocked for a while now.

bighurt4life Posted May 3, 2011 Author Share Posted May 3, 2011 QUOTE (danman31 @ May 2, 2011 -> 05:34 PM) Escobar went yard! Dawkins and Escobar have gone back to back twice in a row. That's gotta be some stat geek's wet dream right there, the 8 and 9 hitters going back to back on back to back plate appearances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Danks went deep too. 2-3 with a homer and only 1 K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta admit, I'm reading his numbers the same way. "Ooo he didn't strike out today," or "Nice, Danks didn't K a lot today." Sadly 1 is still bad, but seems good.

Gac isn't really a prospect nor will he have much trade value. A 25 year old in High-A is pretty much an organizational guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has played better recently, but I think we are going to have to see this for quite a while before he can regain any projectability to the major leagues.

Leonard Washington Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Well I thing one thing's for sure. Goldstein's giving Escobar a shout-out in tomorrow's Future Shock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And like I said, if they are't planning on promoting him, I hope they are just going to let him dominate the lower levels and then trade him somewhere where he can get a chance.

Well nobody would trade for him where he would get a chance. He'd be granted minor league free agency. He's Tom Collaro. He doesn't walk and he strikes out a bunch. If he ever gets to AAA, he's probably a .200/.250/.350 kind of player. Edited May 3, 2011 by witesoxfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, I'm sure he's a much better person. If it makes anybody feel better, Tom Collaro finished 7th in the Golden Baseball League in home runs last year. Of course, Julio Ramirez and Larry Bigbie were stars - Ramirez put up a .322/.411/.576/.987 line with 18 homers, and Bigbie put up .403/.500/.732/1.232 with 16 homers. Fun tidbits.

I'm sure Tommy boy was number 1 in lowest IQ. We gave him the nickname "Mongo" while he was in B'ham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
