Kind of hard to do that with the day off.

That means he should have no problems getting to Colorado. Call him up already!

Geo hits even on off days.

Third baseman Josh Lansford and pitcher Jose Pina were placed on the disabled list. Lansford has not played since July 23 because of a knee injury, and Pina injured his elbow last week.

 

I hope Alburquerque replaces Pina in the rotation.

Dope slap...#16 with Daytona (#17 overall).

Ugh, you do? have you seen Alburquerque pitch???? Yikes...

[Transmogrified Tiger]

After a triple and a walk last night, Tony Thomas' OPS is approaching 1.000

 

.325/.413/.575/.988, 10/16 BB/K, 15 SB, 0 CS

15SB with O CS and a .988 OPS? :shock:

 

Is this the kid that had a ridiculous year in college too? If so, it may be possible that he is figuring things out and the pick could turn out to be a steal.

Yep, Thomas was the guy who had the insane year at Florida State.

 

He turned 21 a month ago.

Yeah, I have seen him pitch at Boise (they have video of their home games) and Al looked good as long as he had his control.

[ChiefsVoice]

thats not what any of the numbers on Al...here or in Boise...

 

as a starter: 2-4 in 9 starts, 5.60 ERA 16 BB in 36 IP...Here he struck out a whopping 5 in 12 innings....wow, cant wait til Monday...

[the splendid splinter]

People can improve and will be interesting to watch.

He's been much better in Boise than he was in Peoria and I've said he was horrible in Peoria - don't see the point in lumping in those Peoria stats when I've said he was bad there the first time around.

 

He's been much better in Boise (overall - 41 IP, 3.73 ERA, 49 K/17 BB). Sure he's been worse starting compared to relieving at Boise (5.25 ERA vs. 1.59 ERA) but he's averaging 4 IP per relief appearance (which is more than he gets in a start) so he's logging innings like a starter. You can see the BB total goes up whenever he has a bad start - as I said, his biggest problem in Boise has been his control.

 

Looking at the games, his slider looks sharp. I can't imagine it was that good in Peoria or he'd have done much better. He's inconsistent but his stuff looks good and while I didn't see him in Peoria, I have to think he's improved quite a bit from his first shot with the Chiefs.

[TruffleShuffle]

i think we can all agree on one thing - he has the coolest name in the cubs system
