Before Wednesday night, the only time I saw Brent Morel play a full game was in the Arizona Fall League championship game. That day, he didn’t get one ball hit in his direction. The hot corner wasn’t that hot in Syracuse, either. He had precisely two chances — a chopper that went over his head, [...]
Not-so-random prospect video
Larry profiled some of the low-level minor leaguers who are off the radar but worth keeping an eye on, which, in turn, reminded me that I never processed the video I shot of Nevin Griffith. So, here’s video of Nevin Griffith (and here’s the brief scouting report from last month): ******************************** Friday’s minor league roundup: [...]
Last calls
Most of the excitement from Saturday’s Charlotte Knights game was drained when Tyler Flowers left the game in the second inning. He took a foul tip to his throwing hand, and after visiting the mound to buy some time, the training staff took a look at him. He remained in the game until the end [...]
First impression: Dan Hudson
Through his first two innings on Friday night, I figured I would see how Daniel Hudson ended up with his unimpressive line in his Triple-A debut on Sunday (4 IP, 8 H, 4 ER, 1 BB, 2 K). He fell behind hitters, and couldn’t really come back with anything besides his fastball. And then he [...]
First impression: Dayan Viciedo
I’m sold on Dayan Viciedo. At least as a hitter. Defensively, he looked raw in two of the three times he was tested. He played a grounder off his chest (but recovered in time to throw out the runner at first), and then took an awkward route on a chopper in which a fraction of [...]
First impression: Jared Mitchell
After watching Jared Mitchell in action for the first time since joining the White Sox organization, one word comes to mind: Patience. If I put together all the footage I had of Mitchell for the video below, 90 percent of the experience would be watching him take pitches. He struck out on a check swing, [...]
First impression: Tyler Flowers
It doesn’t look like Triple-A pitchers are scared of Tyler Flowers yet. He has just two walks over his first 65 at-bats in Charlotte, and didn’t draw one in his five at-bats on Monday. Watching him for the first time on Monday, Flowers is responding to the challenges instead of looking for walks. The best [...]
Weather blows more than Torres
Two things I didn’t know about Carlos Torres: No. 1: He always pitches from the stretch. No. 2: When in said stretch, Torres looks in for the sign with the ball in his mitt — yet he keeps the empty hand behind his back. I don’t know if the second point is that unusual… I [...]
A little (Clayton) Richard video
Below is Clayton Richard’s start against Richmond tonight condensed into roughly three minutes and 45 seconds. When Charlotte Knights manager Marc Bombard said that Richard worked faster than anybody he’d ever seen during his last start against the Triple-A Braves affiliate, I doubt he was exaggerating. When the elements are right — that is, when [...]
