Somebody call Biggio and tell him his record is in jeopardy when Wallace hits the bigs.

In other news…Congrats to you Mr. Motte it’s been a crazy road from Iona to Johnson City and now to the Lou. We all wish you the best

I’m sorry…did I miss something? Was Motte called up?

I would not be concerned about Kozma’s early difficulties at Palm Beach. Greene found it hard in 2006. Solano found it hard in 2007, but hit well there in 2008. Kozma should spend 2009 in Palm Beach and hold his own there. It just takes time. He has probably been pressing this August.

Unless you’re including the parent club in there it’s only six as the GCL team has a losing record. It is a very good sign though as it indicates that, in addition to putting up stats and enhancing their status, the prospects are using their skills to win games. It’s also surprising that they’re able to continue winning despite the aggressive promotion pattern the Cardinals have used. I’ve done rough age comparisons with the farm teams this year and it appears that the Card’s teams are generally younger at all levels than the other teams. It would be interesting to see if there’s any correlation between farm team’s records and future parent club records.

Has everyone noticed that our top seven affiliates have posted winning records this season. Good to see!

hawksworth looked very good last night. but he left the game with his knee acting up, not sure how serious but they pulled him immediately. hawk is very interesting to me , he has good stuff but seems to not get away with any mistakes..one key to me is he can get a K when he needs it..i dont think i would give up on him just yet..

Come on, Josh Kinney. I don’t want to get too excited…just yet.
Wallace sounds like he may be pulling off a Fernado Vina. Pete Kozma in game one, *ouch*

sluhser, i was just thinking the same thing. it seems like every day he gets 1 or 2 hbp’s in the box. whats with that? has he somehow honed his skill to be hit?

What is Wallace doing to get hit so often? I know he’s a bit on the wide side, but come on. Not even a real life weeble would be hbp this often.
