Midwest League all-star game!

[CoolHandLuke]

(in Kane County)

So apparently my friend got some pretty good tickets and I am really excited. When will the rosters be announced? Any chiefs looking like they will make it? I'm pretty excited to see Clayton Kershaw and Brett Anderson. Anyone else I should be excited for?

Be excited for Travis Snider and Chris Valaika too.

Drwe Stubbs & Sean Watson of Dayton. I might be there as well, despite the League being down this year.

I love Valaika, although I wish he had a better chance of sticking at shortstop.

 

I am also looking forward to checking out the Triunfel kid. Also Juan Francisco of the Dragons looks interesting.

 

Its strange to now be older than a majority of MWLeaguers.

After looking over the Peoria stats all I can say is...wow. What a bad hitting team. Is it time to give up on Dylan Johnston yet?

Considering his youth and ungodly IsoD, I'd say no.

I have an internship with Kane County this summer so I will be there, although I don't know how much of the game I will actually be able to watch.

The game is coming up on Tuesday for anyone who's interested. It's also going to be televised on the Comcast access channel starting at 6:30.

that 38.7 K% certainly isn't helping things. that's an ungodly K rate.

Considering last year you had Justin Upton, Cameron Maybin, Jay Bruce, and Colby Rasmus. I won't be shedding too many tears for fans in those cities.

The guy sucks at making contact, but his relative youth and high BB rate are reason for some hope.

whoo hoo!

 

Anyone else going?

No Kershaw? I take it he started to close to the game?

No...he pitches 6 days ago. Watson has spiffy numbers and has a great first half too (in fact, he has a lower ERA and a better K/BB).

 

Kershaw better get promoted to A+ so I can see him in San Bernardino.

Really, doesn't the nod usually go to the bigger prospect though? Again all you guys living near these great prospects really make me jealous. My closest is a three hour drive to see Hochevar.

I got Kershaw's, Valaika's, Anderson's and Snider's autographs! oh and also Matt Liuzza's because he looked too similar to Travis Snider, damn him.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

whoo hoo!

 

Anyone else going?

 

No, but I'm going to the Southern League All-Star Game.

What'd you guys think? I worked the scoreboards during the game tonight. I was sitting up in the box with 2 guys from mlb.com that do gamecast. Pretty interesting guys to talk to all night. It was pain to keep track of all the roster moves. Renshaw looked good at least I thought. Kershaw gave up a HR to the first guy he faced (Sweeney) but he managed to pick up the win. Snider was 0-2 with 2 Ks and 3 BBs.
