NorthSideSox72 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 That is now FOUR first basemen in Charlotte: Wilkins, McDade, L Anderson, Ishikawa. One or two of those will be released, traded, promoted, demoted or otherwise moved some time very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) They may like Lars' talent, but a .553 OPS after 266 PAs is Andy Gonzalez in the majors bad. That's my guess. Edited July 18, 2013 by witesoxfan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my guess. Yeah, and McDade hasn't been special either. At least one of those will go, if not two. This does tell me that the org apparently doesn't believe in Dan Black. Which is a mild surprise to me, given his offensive output, but there are probably things we don't see/know about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Brandon Brennan is having TJ surgery tomorrow. He had been struggling in Kanny, then had a pretty nice June, before he hit the DL. Probably out for the season, but I am trying to confirm that with him directly.

NorthSideSox72 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Also just confirmed, Mark Haddow had a broken hand thanks to a HBP in June. 6 week return timetable from the injury, he's started throwing recently, but no hitting yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I'll be excited what Bassit can do at AA and what Ortiz can do with the Dash. Deserved promotions. Got rid of dead weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 By the way, I would love to get any kind of scouting info people might have on Nick McCully. I got basically nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Soxfan Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jul 18, 2013 -> 07:34 AM) His first name should have tipped you off that he was probably born in the US.

danman31 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 18, 2013 -> 06:43 PM) OF Brandon Short also released. That's the OF overflow we knew was coming with Jacobs' arrival. Earley moved up to AAA, which is good for him. When Konerko finishes his rehab it will be interesting to see where each of those guys plays. Thompson is the only one with the arm for RF so he will probably stay there like today. Jacobs probably splits between LF and DH, but I have a feeling they will give him more time in LF to continue to work on his defense. That leaves Walker and Mitchell splitting CF and DH on most days. Let's see if it plays out that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
