He's been in Charlotte for the last 4 games I believe it was two separate things. He was reassigned there for rehab, and then optioned there.

Bruce_Blixton Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Shoemaker hit the go-ahead 3 run homer in the top on the ninth last night too, I know he's a fringy prospect but he's impressed me a lot this year. The dude can rake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Sanchez, Rienzo and Keenyn all keeping up their awesomeness. And definitely nice to see Hector starting off solid in Charlotte as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And definitely nice to see Hector starting off solid in Charlotte as well. next year's rotation: Sale Liriano Quintana Danks Santiago ALL LEFTIES!!! Haha. But in seriousness, I am glad they are stretching out Hector, more value as a starter. Sanchez's BABIP is unsustainable, but the guy just must have a knack for hitting. When he ripped that James Tallison 99-MPH fastball down the line for a 2B in the Future's Game, that showed me the kid just has a knack for hitting. Also love the fact that Walker/Sanchez get promoted and play better at the higher level. Definitely a great sign. Walker/Sanchez could very well be our 1-2 combo in two years.

Good for Thompson. The K's suck, but he's up there leading the league in Homers and RBI's. I'm not big on prospect lists, but it will be interesting to see if he cracks some Top 100's this offseason.

Thompson has really cut down on the K's over the past month or so. That's the most encouraging sign of all to me. If he can keep them at 25%, with his power, he's going to be a legit prospect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsurprisingly, that is about when his average started to soar He always has been that type of prospect that if/when it clicks he was going to tear the cover off the ball, hopefully he continues it next year in AA. The Barons might start year with Walker/Sanchez/Thompson and that should be a fun trio to watch together. Given their struggles this year wouldn't be out of the question if Saladino/Mitchell are back with them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The K's suck, but he's up there leading the league in Homers and RBI's. I'm not big on prospect lists, but it will be interesting to see if he cracks some Top 100's this offseason. Three straight games without a K, around 20% rate in his last 10 games, 27% in July/August. Was 29% last year on the season. His AVG is up about 10 points this year, OBP about the same, SLG up by 35 points. Also is 18/20 in SB attempts this year, after going 8/12 last year. Two straight seasons of 20+ HR's, will probably get two straight of 30+ doubles as well (at 28 now). And this is a guy with plus defensive skills in the OF. Next year he'd be 22 at AA. Playing at B-Ham is a big test. The jump to AA is often the hardest for hitters to make successfully, and it will be especially so for a guy like Trayce... his HR power will be tested in that cavernous park, and so will his defensive skills. Next year will tell us a lot about him, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker's numbers looks like he can get on base a reasonable clip..despite some relatively high K numbers. Where would Sanchez project position-wise? I see he plays 3B now..but he doesn't hit homers. 2B? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPN366 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Link Morel was optioned to Charlotte on the 1st, then reassigned to the minors on the same day, then activated on the 3rd. That was the order it happened. They did that because they were clearing roster space and adding players, so he was added to the active roster on the 1st, then removed, then added on the 3rd.

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Don't know anything about the quality of the opponent but nice seeing Hector pitch a good 5 innings. I read where he's going to be working on throwing 5 pitches so if he stuck to that he pitched great not relying on his best pitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Hector looks to be a very capable #5 starter in the bigs, maybe even a #4 guy. I like his arm and his stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like his arm and his stuff. I don't know why you'd put his ceiling at 4-5. If he can hold fastball velocity, he's coming up there with a low 90's fastball from the left hand side that wasn't exactly straight, a curveball that I really liked, and an offspeed pitch that the league isn't used to in the screwball. He has work to do on keeping the offspeed stuff under control and most importantly down, but those are at least the makings of a mid to upper part of the rotation starter, on paper of course.
