Outshined_One

The fact that Bengie Molina got over 200 ABs with the Giants this season makes my head hurt.

It was part of the deal they worked out with him. The White Sox moved him into the bullpen because of concerns about his workload this past year and agreed to call him up at some point during the year to pitch out of the pen. Next season, he moves back to the rotation.

Dae-Eun Rhee's conditioning coming back from TJS has been impressively suspect this season. He's been consistent in terms of falling apart in the 5th and 6th.

If he wouldn't accept a trade to the Angels when they were 5 games back in the division, why would he accept a trade to Boston when they're 6.5 back in the division and 5.5 back in the Wild Card?

Decidedly blah day on the farm.

Not much of a surprise considering the bullpen's been shot in the past few days. Diamond's 27, so I'm not too worried about that kind of use.

Szczur's going back to Villanova this week to start football practice.

Some late notes: -Despite their best efforts in the bottom of the 7th in Game 2 of their doubleheader, Daytona's winning streak was snapped at 14. -Brett Jackson today: 1 HR, 1 BB, 2 K -Reggie Golden's debut: 2/5, BB, 2B, 2 K

Daytona extended its winning streak to 14 by winning game 1 of the double header. Amusingly enough, they were out-hit 9-2.

AZ Phil mentioned he reported to Mesa some time last week and has been in uniform. I'm guessing we'll see him soon enough.

Taking all bets! Will Hak-Ju Lee finish the year with more stolen bases or more errors?

Sounds about right. Whitenack was doing pretty well in Peoria in the second half of the season and Rusin was old for Daytona, albeit putting up very good numbers himself.

Holy crap.

Between Hector Rondon, Jay Jackson, and Andrew Cashner, I'm beginning to wonder if teams should just avoid a "temporary move to the bullpen" experiment altogether.

I repeat: That's enough. Get back on topic.

Come on Cubs, win that Rendon/Purke/Cole sweepstakes!

Silva left due to illness. He should make his next scheduled start.

The Chiefs put up a 9 spot in the first and batted around. Marcus Hatley only recorded two outs in his Peoria debut.

Jay Jackson, Jeff Samardzija, Casey Coleman, and maybe Mitch Atkins.

Yay DeWitt.
