GGajewski18 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 LHP Thad Lowry to Kanny to replace Danish RHP Mike Recchia to Birmingham. Roster now at 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 All good moves to see. Recchia didn't belong in A+, and I'm interested to see what Lowry brings to the table as a starter. FYI, talked with Bassitt, he says they are targeting a return around the all star break. Non-baseball injury, but don't know anything beyond that, and didn't want to push the subject.

Really hope Bassitt can come back soon, he's already 25 and in AA, I think it would be huge if he lost a year. I too am very interested to see Lowry with Kanny. I also want to see Chris Fruedenberg in Kanny at some point this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like he's attending the Derrick Rose school of slow healing. Looking forward to seeing how Lowry does at Kanny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ May 14, 2014 -> 02:49 PM) I'm fine with him going to High-A. That's not a terribly huge jump. But they better leave him in High-A the rest of the season (barring playoff experiences). Jumping up again to AA in a couple months may be too large a task. Playoffs!!! Playoffs??

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Thank god Recchia is finally moving to AA. I talked a little about him with Stoltz a week or so ago, and he felt he should have started the year in AA and agreed with me that while his numbers are impressive, they are in line with what they should be if he plans to be a real prospect.

Figure Bassitt is back or they call someone up Bassitt told me he's targeting an ASB return, so not likely him. Other possibilities... Adam Lopez was targeting May originally, but I doubt they push him straight to to AA. Montas has looked good in A+ but again, seems like a rush. Bucciferro is more age-appropriate in AA but he's been just OK at W-S. McCray is supposedly out for a long time, Cose is gone for the year. For now, they may just have an AA reliever with some starting history do that for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, he's been far better as a reliever than a starter. I agree with that. They promoted Micah and a reliever, Fuentes. They took a reliever off the DL, Cales, and called up a starter with Recchia. So before Doyle was cut they had 6 starters and maybe McCully was going to the pen.

NorthSideSox72 Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 QUOTE (raBBit @ May 19, 2014 -> 11:29 AM) Kanny made a series of moves today. LHP Jose Bautista promoted to Winston-Salem. RHP Alex Powers activated from the DL OF Adam Engel to the DL. The injury hasn't been released at this point. Part of a bunch... LHP Evan Crawford to DL for BHAM, Bryan Blough promoted from W-S to replace him. LHP Jose Bautista to W-S to replace Blough, Alex Powers off DL for KAN to replace Bautista OF Adam Engel to DL for KAN, OF Hunter Jones to replace him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Also interesting, the Sox signed Andre Ramirez (LHP) to a minor league deal. Was the Twins' 2012 6th round pick, had originally been signed over-slot then had his bonus knocked way down due to a shoulder issue they found. Pitched two seasons with pretty lousy results, released in April. He's 20, turns 21 in June. Stoltz says he's got intriguing stuff, but is very inconsistent.

This is the only video I could find on him, his delivery reminds me of Bronson Arroyo with a high, somewhat exaggerated leg kick. We've had success in the past with these types of transactions before so I guess it's worth a shot, if anything I'm encouraged that they're taking these kinds of risks in the minors.

Yeah, he makes sense to turn into a utility guy, so now Sanchez and Johnson can play full time in the middle infield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
