Elbow problems kept him from being a possible top-10 pick, but he's a steal if healthy.

Nice, this reminds me of Blee's old The Night In Prospects writeups.

Excellent

This would be a great feature I would read every day. Thank you and keep up the good work.

The "Minor Lines" on McCovey Chronicles have been a great 'feature' there.

I’ve been kicking around the idea of doing something similar here because I like to follow the boxscores for our minor leaguers, but while I’d usually have more than enough time for it the devotion and motivation to keep doing it wasn’t something I was sure I’d have. So, I’m glad someone else is covering it!

At least this season we’ll have a taste of it for the last couple weeks, but it should be nice to follow daily come 2009.

Cats...

great job but I thought I’d mention Denorfia who is currently on a pretty decent tear with the River Cats with 8 straight multi-hit games, over this eight game span he has 18 hits and is batting .474 hopefully he’s finally healthy.

Well done

I know that it can be a lot of work but adding the scores and maybe a sentence summary about the games would go great with the info already provided. Even without that I would read these posts every time as well. Not critizing or demanding btw just respectfully requesting, if its possible.

oww or you could add a link to the recap/box score for games

by A'sfaninNC on Aug 21, 2008 12:48 PM PDT up 0 recs

We'll add the links to the scores...

I’m happy to see Javier Herrera is starting to heat up. I’m still praying that he will make a debut…just a debut. I think he could have a promising career. Still hoping!

Doolittle

I’m glad to see Doolittle start to put some good games together.

Hopefully Doolittle and Brown can figure out their levels and together with Carter can power the A’s offense for the next 6 years.

Sometimes life will strike you out on a curve ball and the only choice you have is to flip off the umpire and walk to first base anyway.

what is this power you speak of?

by A'sfaninNC on Aug 21, 2008 1:27 PM PDT up 0 recs

power is when you run out your walk instead of jogging it

Or at least that’s how i remember it.

Corey Brown

Quietly is having a solid year. He still Ks too much but hes got 27 HRs and has an OPS of 855. He will be 23 in November, so hes not young and should be in AA next year.
