BigHurt3515 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Wasn't expecting that one.. So Wilkins is coming up for De Aza? That doesn't make much sense Miguel Chalas and Mark Blackmar coming here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Would have preferred it to be Viciedo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Blackmar has had a pretty decent season in A+. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/p...id=blackm002mar Chalas..... shares a birthday with my dad. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/p...id=chalas001mig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't make much sense Miguel Chalas and Mark Blackmar coming here Sept call ups, Wilkins isn't going to be playing OF. Best of luck in Baltimore Alejandro, you always seemed to take it in stride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2nd_city_saint787 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Blackmar looks fairly decent. Chalas? not so much......Montas looked awful though too sooo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Chalas (22) is a reliever in AAA. Walks batters but only has given up 1 hit in 7 innings in AAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 this blackmar guy is a live arm, not sure about the other guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxfest Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I am very happy tonight. De Aza leaving is addition by subtraction for 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Blackmar was a year or two older than Courtney Hawkins at the same high school. Edited August 31, 2014 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Makes me wonder if they give Viciedo all of the at bats the rest of the way in LF, or if they give them to Sierra or Mitchell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconOnAStick Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Blackmar is a fastball/changeup guy who tops out at around 94, has a two seaver in the high 80's with life. Phil Blackmar, PGA golfer, is his dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck in Baltimore Alejandro, you always seemed to take it in stride. It isn't Sept yet. Why would they take Wilkins out if they weren't bringing him up for tomorrow? He obviously isn't going to play OF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
