He has the tools, but has struggled the last couple of years. Sometimes these guys break out only after they hit the big stage.
Yeah Rochester always seems to have too many roster "fillers". If he continues to pitch like this and demonstrate control of his pitches, which has been the biggest knock on him, I'd love to see him moved to AAA in June/July. I think once one of the ****** "fillers" in Rochester fails in early summer, Bromberg will be moved to AAA and Gibson will take his spot at New Britain. That's at least my hope anyway.Quote:

Hicks was 4/5 tonight with a home run. He's now hitting .268. Snappers win 7-5.
All the other Twins' farm clubs lost. Rochester outhit Syracuse 12-8, but got beat 6-3. Perkins took another loss. New Britain lost 15-5 and Ft. Myers wasted a good start by Gibson, losing 5-2 to Palm Beach.
Tremendous come back week for Hicks. He has gotten 14 hits in his last 26 AB's and has improved his numbers to .268/.388/.411 (.799). Thank God.
Angel Morales went deep again for the 3rd time this season. He's recording some strong numbers as well with a slash line of .278/.333/.519 (.852) with 5 SB. However, he has yet to fix his strikeout problem as he has struck out 17 times in 54 AB's. I think people forget that this guy is still only 20 years old.
Rochester lost as Perkins sucked *** again. 3.2 innings, 6 hits, 5 runs, 3 BB, and 4 K's. His only hope is the bullpen. Waldrop threw 2.1 shutout innings to lower his ERA to 0.73.
New Britain lost behind a ****** start from Gutierrez: 4 innings, 10 hits, 8 runs, 1 BB, and 3 K's. Revere went 2-3 with 2 BB and Tosoni went 1-5 with a triple and an RBI.
Ft. Myers lost 5-2 as Bullock gave up 3 runs in an inning for the loss. Gibson only went 5 innings giving up 4 hits, 1 run, 3 BB, and picked up 4 K's along the way. We literally have nothing on offense down there until Hicks and/or Morales make the inevitable move.
Hicks and Morales should be moving up by June....they are literally blood brothers who both have a lot of taleng.
Wonder boy Sano should be up in beloit at the end of this year depending how he does in E-Town.
On Another Note Liam Hendriks is doing AMAZING.
Batters are battin .96 on him 1:13 walk to strike out ratio,1 earned run, .41 era, in 22 innings.
Keep your eye out for him,he could be called up to fort myers real soon if he keeps pitching like this.
Orlando Hudson is awful.
You're awful.
I think he just might be in the major leagues and is pretty good... unless there is a prospect with the same name.Quote:

I believe so. May God have mercy on his soul.
No I am a Sox fan. I rather have a donkey play second base. Even though I am not an Oriole fan I think Brian Roberts is 2x the player Orlando Hudson will ever be.Quote:
