So basically, if I don’t show up, the Barons win. I missed the games on the 9th, 10th and 11th due to recovery from “surgery.” No need for painkillers, I’m a man. Anyway, they won all three games, taking 4 out of 5 in the series and have succesfully avoided the dreaded 100 loss season. Whoopty […]

The Barons had a decent homestand this time around, taking 3 out of 5 from Chattanooga. Don’t get too thrilled though, Chattanooga had only one good pitcher and that was game 5 starter Rubby De La Rosa. The Barons are now up to 37 big wins, but are at 70 losses, which guarantees a sub
With rookie ball in full stride there is a lot of competition for the best prospects of the month. Brent Morel hit .347 and Chris Sale has 19 strikeouts in 10.1 innings as a pro, but neither had the overall numbers to even make the honorable mention list this July. That speaks to the depth

White Sox top prospect Dan Hudson and 2009 second round draft pick David Holmberg have been traded to Arizona for starting pitcher Edwin Jackson. Hudson being traded is less than a surprise, but Holmberg’s name had not come up much. In our recently released midseason top 25 prospect rankings, Hudson was No. 1 while Holmberg
