All the interests of DT. Screw Payton Manning--You ready for March Madness and Baseball, baby?!
- Kershaw to start on Sunday
-
It's finally happened. Clayton Kershaw has been called up to the majors.
We are very lucky to have been able to see this guy pitch for the Suns--now it is his time to shine on the Dodgers.
The warning signs were there as early as this past Thursday, when he pitched a perfect first inning as a starter at Carolina, then got pulled. He even struck out two in that inning!
Photo courtesy of...me! I lifted it from a video that I shot when Clayton started against the Mudcats on 4-15-08. I uploaded it to youtube for all to see.
Gametime is 4:10 P.M. tomorrow against the Cardinals. You can watch it live or anytime on MLB.tv.
7/11/08: Update: I thought this was interesting: a word collage called "wordle." So I tried it on this entire blog entry.

-
So given that someone's dream will be fulfilled this year--that being Dad finally going to Lambeau field to see the Packers play--I found their pre-season schedule for this year:
The schedule is located at the Packers web site, found here:
http://www.packers.com/gameday/schedule/2008/
Monday, August 11 @ 7:00 P.M.: Cincinnati Bengals (Bishop's Charity Game--televised on ESPN)
Thursday, August 28 @ 7:00 P.M.: Tennessee Titans (Midwest Shrine Game)Tags: green_bay_packers Thursday April 24, 2008 - 08:52am (EDT) Permanent Link | 1 Comment - Poor, poor Rick Vanden Hurk
-
Man, this guy can't stay out of Double-A! After a couple of poor outings in the Marlins' Major League rotation to start 2008, he is back on the Mudcats. Today he faces the Biscuits, and so far he has the lead.
The only good thing that could come of this is that it gives Burke Badenhop a chance to prove himself. Badenhop replaces Vanden Hurk as the 5th man in the Marlins' rotation. I have a feeling he'll get shelled too, or maybe I just hope so--since we haven't seen him play yet in a Carolina jersey.
Vanden Hurk is completely solving the Montgomery Biscuits. So far tonight, he has pitched 5 scoreless, 2-hit innings while striking out 7 and walking none [box score].
Cameron Maybin is still leading off, playing CF, and consistently hitting for the Mudcats. He has a 0.346 batting average with an 0.471 on-base percentage. Let's hope he stays in Carolina for a liiiiiitle bit longer--and that he is not too much of a jerk to sign a couple of cards for us.

...But not too early!
According to this article from the Jacksonville Suns web site, the gates to the games will now open only one hour early on Mondays through Fridays. They will still open an hour and a half early on Saturdays and Sundays. Plan accordingly.Tags: suns Thursday April 3, 2008 - 04:14pm (EDT) Permanent Link | 0 Comments - Minor League Player Free Agent Updates:
-
While attempting to find out where the Suns catchers (A.J. Ellis and Alberto Concepcion) from last year went, I came across this Baseball America page.
http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/prospects/?p=644
It lists the minor league free agents from each major league franchise. Apparently, after they are in the system for so long, they too become free agents. So yeah, we got a lot of these guys’ autographs before they left the Florida leagues, but to be in the minors so long that you become a free agent? That may not necessarily be a good thing.
The following players were declared minor league free agents after the 2007 season and are now with new teams (new MLB parent teams listed in parentheses):
From the Dodgers’ organization:
LHP Eric Cyr (Texas Rangers) – currently with AAA Omaha Redhawks
LHP Luis Gonzalez (Colorado Rockies) – currently with AA Tulsa Drillers
C Alberto Concepcion (Florida Marlins) – currently with AA Caroina Mudcats
3B Marshall McDougall (San Diego Padres) – currently with AAA Portland Beavers
Folks, Thomas John (T.J.) Nall is now in the Boston Red Sox organization and pitching for Class A+ Lancaster Jethawks! Someone give this guy a chance as a middle reliever!
The following players resigned and are still in the Dodgers organization:
RHP Alvis Ojeda, 2B Luis Maza, OF Wilkin Ruan.
From the Marlins’ organization:
RHP Scott Tyler (Oakland A’s) – currently with AA Midland Rockhounds
2B John Raburn (Tampa Bay Rays) – currently with Montgomery Biscuits
I can’t seem remember if he is in the 2007 Carolina Mudcats team set; if so, we could have a second chance with him when the Biscuits come to town.
SS Rex Rundgren (Los Angeles Dodgers) – currently with Las Vegas 51’s
I know he is in the Mudcats team set! Interesting if he gets sent down to AA Jacksonville.
It could be quite a chore to go through and look at all of these. How many more can you find? Here are two more:
SS Ronnie Merrill, from the Baybears to the Biscuits
LHP Ryan Wing, poached from the Barons to Oakland
