4/3 Games

Recommended Posts

In addition to having this thread for game days, and the @FutureSox twitter posting information... we now have a plan in place for doing daily recap write-ups on the blog. Two regular posters in this forum (raBBit, soutside hitman) have volunteered to take on these daily/nightly duties. So, if all goes to plan, starting tonight until early September, there will be content on the blog every day. You'll be able to bring up the blog and see an overview of what transpired in all the Sox affiliate games, with links to boxes, stats and fun facts. The recaps will go up in the evenings after games are finished, or on occasion, the next morning.

 

TODAY'S STARTERS:

 

Charlotte @ Norfolk, 6:05pm CT, Scott Carroll starts

 

Birmingham @ Montgommery, 7:05pm CT, Chris Beck starts

 

Wilmington @ Winston-Salem, 6:00pm CT, JB Wendelken starts

 

Greenville @ Kannapolis, 6:05pm CT, James Dykstra starts

Pitching-wise, other than the Beck start, I'm more excited about tomorrow when Danish, Jaye and Goldberg start, along with Rienzo.

I'm interested in the fact that there are two interesting arms converting to starters that go today (Wendelken, Dykstra).

Is Goldberg one of those guys that is starting just to get innings, but will end up a reliever if he makes it?

 

This is something the Sox do often. They pick a few key relief arms, particularly ones that are relatively young or raw, and convert them to starting. Nate Jones, Jake Petricka, and Chris Bassitt are all examples in recent years. It is a win-win thing. Likely scenario, they aren't great at starting, but they are forced to learn how to go from being a thrower to a pitcher - and then they go back to the pen better pitchers (see Jones, Petricka). Occasionally, they may actually excel at starting, and hey, bonus - you have another starter (i.e. Bassitt, at least so far).

 

Goldberg did start in college BTW.
