By the way, I would love to get any kind of scouting info people might have on Nick McCully. I got basically nothing.

 

 

Here's a nice article on him...

Was a reliever who got put into the rotation when Molina got hurt. Added a changeup to his fastball and slider. Pitching coach also worked on his windup as a starter....Everything seems to have come together for him.

From BP's Eyewitness Accounts:

 

Courtney Hawkins is a prospect being challenged by the Chicago White Sox. He is placed in High-A only a year after being drafted. In my opinion, the problems are being amplified by him being placed in the challenge assignment, but his overall skill set would struggle anywhere. Hawkins’ carrying tool was his power, and he will not have enough contact ability for it to matter.

Grade: 30; organizational player

Risk: n/a

With the new park this year, have we gotten some feedback on how it is playing?

Minor league park factors usually come out after the season or before next season. After roughly looking at the H/A splits for Barons hitters, I think it plays slightly towards the hitters.

You guys think if Semien and Micah Johnson keep having great seasons that we can Semein start at 2b in AAA next year and Micah in AA next year?

 

I don't see why not. Achieve and advance.

BP's Jason Parks on Braulio Ortiz (free content):

 

Braulio Ortiz, RHP, White Sox (High-A Winston Salem)

It has been a big season for the big Dominican arm, making the jump from the DSL to full-season ball, and after a stellar run in Low-A, the 21-year-old now finds himself in the Carolina League. Even though he has made a few starts, Ortiz profiles as a power arm in the 'pen, riding an impressive mid-90s fastball and missing more than a bat per inning. The command is loose and the secondary arsenal needs refinement, but Ortiz is on the fast-track, and looks like a prospect to keep an eye on going forward. —Jason Parks

That's where they should start.

White Sox have a new C at Birmingham, that I don't see any trade info for. Anyone know anything here?

They got him in a transaction from a different AA team, Eastern League I think, Trenton. Not sure we gave up anything, he has been a career backup catcher, never gotten more than 100 or so ABs at any stop.

Semien to Charlotte, per everyone

Ha!

 

We interviewed him Tuesday, and two days later, he's promoted.

 

We interviewed Micah Johnson and he was promoted a few days later too.

 

Apparently the FS interview is the harbinger of promotion.

Where will he play? 3B over Morel? Or will he be at 2B? I am excited to see him play with Sanchez

He and Carlos will be the middle infield I'm sure, but it is hard to say which plays where. They may switch back and forth some, at least at first, to see who seems more comfortable at each position.
