It looks like the minor league thread got dropped in the migration. Some good performances on Friday night (opening night for Columbus, Rome, and Augusta). Columbus loses 5-3 to Montgomery. Tough night for Hackenburg (2 IP, 4H, 4 R, 4 ER, 4 K, 2 BB). James McCann goes 2/3 (both 2Bs) and...

I'm a couple days past the 8th anniversary of the day that Rougned Odor landed a punch on Joey Bautista. Loved it.

Seeing that the AAA season starts on Friday (3/29) and all other levels a week from Friday (4/5), I thought it would be good to get ahead of things and have a thread ready for when the final rosters for each entry take shape and other pertinent news becomes available. Gwinnett's starting...

It was referenced briefly in the official off-season thread, but I didn't want to gum up the more important conversation going on over there so instead I have linked the Gwinnett and Mississippi transaction pages so people can get a look at the players who have opted for minor league free...

I was going to try and combine this with the other AFL thread I started, but it's beyond my technical expertise (but I can program a VCR). Anyway, Salt River (the team with Braves' participants) won their inaugural game 3-1. Braves players: McCabe 0/3, 1 BB, 1 K, Picked off base Tolve 1/4, 3 K

Here's the set of players that Braves will be sending to the Arizona Fall League as part of the Salt River Rafters roster. LHP Dylan Dodd RHP Patrick Halligan LHP Jake McSteen RHP Brooks Wilson C Tyler Tolve 3B Dave McCabe INF Keshawn Ogans Former Braves' minor leaguers RHP Roybar Salinas and...

A staple of the early-1970s A's dynasty and one of the more exciting players to hit the scene in that era. Game was a lot diffrerent then, but Blue was truly something. His 1971 Cy Young/MVP season ranks among one of the best by a pitcher in the modern era and he would have been ROY if not for...

Gwinnett still the only team playing, but will be joined by Augusta and Rome on Thursday night. Kyle Wright was the player of interest on Wednesday. Always hard to tell what's going on in a rehab, but Wright's line didn't look that great. Did throw 85 pitches over six innings and I think...

Stripers Beat Norfolk Tides 6-1 As noted in last night's game thread, a solid debut from Soroka. He probably has a ways to go because it appears he was on a very tight 60-pitch limit. The top (or interesting) performers Grissom 3/4, R, RBI (4), 2B (2), 1 HBP. Now hitting .500 with 1.682...

Camarones Jumbo 7 Stripers 1 after 4 1/2 Anyone hoping for an Ian Anderson turnaround will be disappointed. Here's his line. Anderson 2/3 IP, 4 H, 6 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 1 K, 3 HRA. 37 pitches (20/17) Lovelady 1 1/3 IP, 1 K White 1/1, 1 R, 1 RBI, HR (1), 1 BB Grissom 0/1, 1 BB, SB (2) Shemake...

Late to the party, but plenty of action left. Jacksonville 7, Gwinnett 6 (midway through 6th) Thus far for the night. Shewmake 2/3, 2 R, 1 RBI, 1 2B, SB (1) E (1) Luplow 2/3, 1 R, 2 RBI Sierra 1/2 1 R, 2 RBI, 3B (1), 1 OFA Grissom 0/2, 1 BB Wall 0/2, 1 R, 1 BB Culberson 0/3 Stephens 2 IP, 5...

Didn't realize Gwinnett was going tonight. They are currently down 1-0 to Jacksonville. Starting Line-up White-DH Grissom-6 Shewmake-4 Luplow-7 Tromp-2 Wall-8 Sanchez-5 Fuentes-3 Dean-9 Elder pitching. Gwinnett bench is Hudson (C), Culberson (IF/OF), Park (IF), Sierra (OF) Tons of pitchers.

I can pretty much guess the Gwinnett roster, but I am really curious as to what everything will look like AA and below. Spring training is so different than what it used to be. They cycled through so many guys from the lower minors during the spring training games and I can't figure out if...

She'll always be remembered more for her work with the revamped post-Danny Kirwin/Bob Welch version of Fleetwood Mac that was ushered in with the arrival of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, but she was with the band for more than 50 years and did great work from the get-go. Spare Me a...

Thought I would post this article. Interesting tidbits from Sestanovich. Malloy probably has the highest ceiling of the hitters on the list and Salinas and Shuster both have a good chance of contributing at the major league level on the pitching side of the equation. The lack of depth in the...

Three Braves' prospects played as part of the Scottsdale Scorpions team that beat the Mesa Solar Sox 7-4 on opening day of the Arizona Falls League. Justyn-Henry Malloy in LF went 0-2 with three BBs. Cal Conley at SS went 1-4 with a 2B/SB/and throwing error. LHP Alex Segal went one clean...

Listed below are the seven Braves' prospects who will be playing for Peoria in the Arizona Fall League: C Shea Langeliers OF Jesse Franklin V RHP Victor Vodnik RHP Indigo Diaz RHP William Woods LHP Jake Higginbotham INF Luke Waddell

Sorry folks. No news here. The minor league season starts next Tuesday at all four levels and I have yet to see anything reported as to who is playing for which team. Rosters are usually announced by now and I was wondering if anyone had seen anything. My apologies to rico43 for stepping...

And so it begins. I haven't seen rico43 around and he is the guy usually on top of these things. I browsed Baseball America today and saw an article that MLB is trying to get the New York-Penn League to become a College Wood Bat Summer League. In the article, it stated that the Appalachian...

I think those of us in the Group of Elders who inhabit this board would agree that Gibson was among the best--and probably the best--pitcher we saw in our youth. Absolutely electric stuff and he aggressively applied it. I think that's why many in my demographic get frustrated when we watch...
