ILMOU Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 10:16 AM) Kannapolis- Olacio roughed up http://www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?s...kanafx_hicafx_1 Gotta believe he's a long term project, but hopefully not super-long. I'll be following this kid closely - I mean, how many 6' 7" 230 lb 18 year old LHP's are there? If he were to blossom someday, oh my. Hope KW hangs onto him.

Cerbaho-WG Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Mr. Wilkins, have yourself a game! 2 HRs thus far. Mitchell 2-2 with a BB and a 2B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 And Mitchell zooms back to .300 with yet another walk, 2/2, including his 11th double of the season. 37 RBI's. Jose Martinez is starting to look more and more dangerous. And, Molina's actually pitching a very good game, too. Everything's coming up roses, lol. 5 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K's. ERA back down below 5, which is progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) Alot of our top guys are showing up tonight. Danks, Phegley, Mitchell, Wilkins all with good games. Hell, even Molina has pitched well so far. OT: Oh.. and Bradley, Barnes and Shaw are studs for the Red Sox. Damn them.

Potential wise though.. you are right, he's the best and is younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Good to see Wilkins mashing since coming off the DL. Had such a horrendous start to the season, but he's looking good now. Just don't trade him for Youk now KW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Would trade Wilkins in a heartbeat if it meant keeping Thornton and Crain for down the stretch. Unfortunately, the price will be a lot higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would drive to Birmingham to pick Wilkins up and then drive him up to Boston if that's all it took to get Youkilis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I wasn't saying only Wilkins. it'd be like a package of Wilkins, Mitchell, and more... and even still that's not really as good a package as other teams can offer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Why would we give up Mitchell unless we're getting a large amount of salary relief? And they can't eat salary (much) because it hampers their ability to make any other moves without going over the cap. The White Sox can't afford to give up their best prospects just to conserve money/resources anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) Giving up our best position prospect, Mitchell, for a Youkalis in sharp decline who Boston is trying to dump, would be clownish - absolutely insane. This division/playoffs will be won or lost based upon Sale, Peavy and hopefully an energized Danks, plus an effective pen. We have pop and can withstand a lineup hole. We need Mitchell to develop into a ML outfielder, or else we'll have DeWayne Wise Jr. in the outfield in 2014. Already we're ridiculously short in the outfield with Fukudome as our big bench bat.

This post is just ridiculous. No team is offering a prospect like Mitchell for half a season of Kevin f***ing Yoikilis. I know your always negative about Sox, but try to be somewhat realistic with your complaints and theories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Two more nice hitting games by outfielders Haddow (Kanny) and Earley (W-S). Both hitting close to .340. Wish they would get promoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both hitting close to .340. Wish they would get promoted. Since KW Jr isn't getting out of the way (even if he should), there has to be a chain reaction starting from the top. Like... Danks2 gets promoted with Fukudome released/DL'd... Mitchell goes to AAA to take D2's spot... Early or Shoemaker moves up to AA to take Mitchell's spot... Haddow moves up to take Early/Shoemaker's spot. That sort of thing. This has actually been a pretty good year for some outfielders in the Sox system. Danks2 still K's a lot but is improving... Mitchell looking good... a bunch of marginal guys pounding the ball (Early, Haddow, Shoemaker)... just need Thompson and Walker to come around.

He just rebounded from a slump and made some adjustments and is hitting the ball well again. Let him stay in Birmingham for another month or so then if you think he's ready, move him up. However, there is no problem with him staying in AA. It is a talented league and he's learning a lot this year (and growing a lot as a player).
