5/29 Games

Mitchell back up to .295.

 

2/3 HR, 2 RBI's

 

4 HR, 33 RBI's on the season, hitting 2nd now in the line-up.

 

WHERE DOES HE PLAY, haha?

 

 

 

Axelrod got hit hard tonight, but overall ERA still 2.36, which is great.

Our old friend Nick Blackburn starting...sporting a 7.36 ERA

 

Sean Burroughs, Valencia, Parmalee and Clete Thomas the only familiar names on that roster.

Saladino back down to .228.

 

Seems like his hot streak to return to respectability (at least batting average-wise) is over now, too.

 

 

Dan Johnson still playing 3B for the Knights.

 

Bayne doesn't look like he has much rope left in the BIRM starting rotation.

 

Bruney having another very solid season for Charlotte, but probably won't see the big leagues again with the Sox in all likelihood.

Where does he play? Birmingham until at least September.

If we see him, something has gone really wrong in Chicago.

Hypothetically, the track for Mitchell could involve AAA next year, and then if everything goes well, big leagues if someone gets hurt or in 2014...which is the last year for Dunn's contract and Rios's contract, so it is at least plausible that one of them could be moved to create a spot for him, assuming things keep going.

 

Then again, what's more likely, him sitting in AA-AAA or KW realizing he's an asset and moving him?

I don't think KW would move Mitchell. He has a unique skillset that could make him the ideal leadoff hitter for years to come, which is something KW has been trying to find for years. I understand that De Aza is doing great right now, but Mitchell is much younger and would be a better fit IMO. Honestly, a 1/2 punch of Mitchell/De Aza could wreak havoc for a long, long time.

 

Obviously Mitchell has a long ways to go before we pencil him into anything, but I think if he can keep up his current performance then he's practically untouchable for us. Also, I do agree that you find a way of moving Rios after the 2013 season if Mitchell looks legit.
