Ozzie Ball Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Kiley McDaniel is now doing the top prospect lists at FanGraphs. His first one is up for the Rangers and it is excellent. I will be looking forward to his White Sox list. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/evaluating-...-texas-rangers/ Such a monumental step up from the stuff Marc Hulet used to churn out.

Last year, our interviews were the Midas touch, guys got promoted shortly after. Happened again with Dykstra this year, but apparently it worked in reverse on Beck. Hopefully the guy I interviewed Friday won't be in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This all went down months ago. He apparently was upset after a game early this season (he wasn't pitching well), and he just kinda Stormed off the premises saying he was done. Never came back. They kept him on the Restricted List for a while, but they may have eventually just released him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 For anyone who saw the reports... the Idaho Statesman reported the White Sox didn't renew with the Great Falls Voyagers. In reality, last year they extended through 2018. Some other channels picked up the wrong story as well. The Statesman has since corrected their story, after we pointed out the mistake.

Hell, I might have to take a trip up there. Nope. I hate the new stadium and I've only been there once. It's in a bad part of town that I grew up near and is too far away from where I live now. People have been shot and killed right outside of it. Birmingham annually makes the top 10 list of most dangerous cities in the United States.

There's a few "Birmingham" touches to it. They restored this sign and added it to the stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPN366 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 There's a reason why the population of the suburbs North, South, East and West of Birmingham exploded over the past 25 years. At one point, I think in the mid 90's, the southern "over the mountain" suburbs of Birmingham were the fastest growing area of the United States. That's where I live, 20 miles south.

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I know this is completely random, but I was watching Major League on Netflix tonight and I noticed something in the opening "historical" sequence... When the sequence is cutting through old newspaper headlines mocking the Indians, there is a picture of Buddy Bell falling over trying to catch a popup.

This is getting weird. Baseball America now reported GF as 2014 expiration. And then so did MiLB in an article. Yet, MiLB themselves said in January that GF was extended through 2018. It's all pretty confusing. I responded to BA and MiLB, and reached out to a Great Falls contact I have. No word back from any of them yet. KAN PR guy says he thought they were 2018 too.
