July 27, 201214 yr 13 hits in 10 innings at Eliz, ERA 5.4, 5 walks to go with 12 Ks8 hits in 9 innings at Beloit 5 more walks ERA of 4 not exactly a stud letting go.He was just drafted last year. One of Few strikeout Lefties in the organization. Some of the issues should/would have been ironed as he progressed. Too fast to pull the trigger. Actually, just for fun, have a look at what Oswaldo Arcia did his first 2 seasons in the Twins organization. Something is going on here....
July 31, 201214 yr Corey Kimes from Etown to Beloit. Is that 10 pitchers that have been sent up but only 1 position player?
July 31, 201214 yr Must have happened right after tonight's game? He pitched five shutout innings in Bristol! Good for him!
July 31, 201214 yr Just found out that Kimes has NOT been promoted to Beloit at this time... However, Eddie Rosario is on his way back to the Snappers.
July 31, 201214 yr Buxton with is 2nd triple,to go with 2 HRs since coming off injury. I would LOVE for him to finish the year in Eliz. Sady, I doubt that'll happen. What would it hurt?
July 31, 201214 yr well the .203/.295/.420 (as of yesterday) line isn't exactly dominating. He's had a couple of decent games. Promoting him due to a small sample size is hardly what I'd call smart. He'll still be quite young for his age in Elizabethon next year.
July 31, 201214 yr There's no reason to move Buxton up, and there's even less reason to worry about his stat line.
July 31, 201214 yr There's no reason to move Buxton up, and there's even less reason to worry about his stat line.Why not?Why not let him try the Appy League?Why have him play another year of Rook ball next year? Why not be a little more aggressive, if the kid is really that good?
July 31, 201214 yr he isn't that good... not yet anyways. having the tools is one thing, getting results is another. He's getting used to using a wood bat for the first time as well as facing tougher competition. You don't just promote a guy cause he had a couple of decent games.
July 31, 201214 yr Why not?Why not let him try the Appy League?Why have him play another year of Rook ball next year? Why not be a little more aggressive, if the kid is really that good?My assumption is that he will go to Beloit next season regardless of where he starts or finishes this season.
July 31, 201214 yr Just found out that Kimes has NOT been promoted to Beloit at this time... However, Eddie Rosario is on his way back to the Snappers.You just made my day, Seth. I'm in Beloit right now and will be at the next two games (tonight and tomorrow). Was hoping he might get back in time.
July 31, 201214 yr Now the Snappers are tweeting that Kimes HAS been promoted to Beloit. Cole Johnson put on the DL
July 31, 201214 yr Author Now the Snappers are tweeting that Kimes HAS been promoted to Beloit. Cole Johnson put on the DL60ft6in has broke all the Snappers promotions before they've been announced, so I was a little surprised when it looked like he was wrong. He wasn't wrong.
July 31, 201214 yr Why would people care if Buxton is in GCL or Appy this year? If he gets to Beloit that is interesting. All he needs is reps for the rest of the year, either league is fine.
August 1, 201214 yr Why would people care if Buxton is in GCL or Appy this year? If he gets to Beloit that is interesting. All he needs is reps for the rest of the year, either league is fine.Buxton will go to Etown next year. He will not be rushed to A ball and Coach Reed is one of the better hitting coaches the Twins have.
August 1, 201214 yr 60ft6in has broke all the Snappers promotions before they've been announced, so I was a little surprised when it looked like he was wrong. He wasn't wrong.Thanks... I thought maybe I heard some incorrect info when Seth reported. Just trying to add something when I can...!
August 1, 201214 yr I was wrong. I asked about Kimes to Beloit, and if there were any other moves. I got the "No" answer, and thought it was regarding Kimes, but it was actually about any other transactions... other than the addition of Rosario back on to the roster.
August 1, 201214 yr You think Buxton starts in Beloit next year Seth?I do, but that doesn't mean much... I think that with his talent, they should be patient if they need to be. But I think that the new rules which gets players signed sooner and playing earlier in the summer is a good one. Buxton signed pretty quickly and despite missing 8-10 days, he's played quite a bit and will go to instructs. I'm sure it'll be a numbers game too, but if he shows he's ready for that level, they're not going to block him.
August 1, 201214 yr Buxton will be in Elizabethon. Why rush him? He's not ripping up the GCL, and it isn't as though there aren't a ton of good OF prospects ahead of him....
August 1, 201214 yr gonna be hard to judge Buxton totally by his numbers this yr due to his 1-27start I think he's been better than expected (to me anyways) since then.... 14/47 (.298BAA) w/.681 slgg since then in 15gms
