Justin Towles is playing center for Lexington today for some reason. I hope/imagine that's a typo.

2. Mike Emeigh Posted: April 19, 2006 at 12:30 PM (#1973827)

Nashville's roster underwent a shakeup as a result of moves by the big club. Relievers Mike Adams and Chris Demaria went up to Milwaukee, P Jared Fernandez and OF Corey Hart were sent down.

San Diego promoted P Jon Adkins from Portland and sent OF Terrmel Sledge to the Beavers.

Justin Huisman, recently released by KC, signed with Round Rock. Aaron Williams was sent back to Corpus Christi to make room for Husiman on the Express roster.

The Braves demoted RHP Eric Schmitt to Mississippi from Richmond.

Jason Kubel should make his Rochester debut today. To make room for Kubel, the Red Wings sent OF Alex Romero to New Britain.

Andy Abad cleared waivers and accepted an assignment to Lousiville from the Reds. Darrell May also made his debut in the Reds' organization last night as the Bats' starter.

When Dustin Pedroia was activated, he replaced DL'd Josh Pressley on the Pawtucket roster.

Justin Towles is playing center for Lexington today for some reason. I hope/imagine that's a typo.

Ole Sheldon (a 1B) is listed as the catcher and Michael Thompson (a 3B) is playing 1B. It's entirely possible that Towles IS in CF and that the Legends are trying to get a lot of hitters in the lineup.

-- MWE

4. Mike Emeigh Posted: April 19, 2006 at 12:57 PM (#1973910)

However, it is a typo. Towles is catching. I have the Lake County broadcast on (in a continuing effort to bring you the latest news!)

I am finding that MLB Advanced Media is not especially reliable. This boxscore is missing a number of position changes.

-- MWE

5. Der Komminsk-sar Posted: April 19, 2006 at 01:11 PM (#1973947)

Thanks, Mike.

RHP/tattoo lover Justin Miller apparently has been sold to Lotte.

6. Mike Emeigh Posted: April 19, 2006 at 01:42 PM (#1974076)

Here's what appears to be the defensive alignment for Lexington:

Sutil in LF
Flores in CF
Reed in RF
Sheldon DH
Towles C

-- MWE

7. Mike Emeigh Posted: April 19, 2006 at 01:45 PM (#1974098)

Actually, I'm wrong:

Einertson is in LF, Sutil at SS.

-- MWE

8. Mike Emeigh Posted: April 19, 2006 at 01:46 PM (#1974105)

That's six of nine positions wrong in the lineup.

-- MWE

9. Mike Emeigh Posted: April 19, 2006 at 01:57 PM (#1974160)

Flip-flop Einertson (CF) and Flores (LF).

-- MWE

10. Mike Emeigh Posted: April 19, 2006 at 03:26 PM (#1974619)

Texas has sent John Mayberry Jr. to Clinton (Midwest).

-- MWE

11. Mike Emeigh Posted: April 19, 2006 at 03:46 PM (#1974718)

Some stuff I missed in my fly-by yesterday:

C.J. Henry has been placed on the DL at Charleston. Ditto Phillippe Valiquette at Dayton.

Hayden Penn is expected to join Ottawa within the next 10 days.

And today:

Carolina placed P Chris Mobley on the DL, added P Christopher Young from Jupiter (for the second time this year), activated P Trevor Hutchinson from the DL, and sent him to Jupiter. Hutchinson missed all of 2005 following rotator cuff surgery, after missing some time in '04 with elbow woes.

-- MWE

12. Der Komminsk-sar Posted: April 19, 2006 at 03:46 PM (#1974721)

Buffalo has sent Damian Moss (Ric) to the showers - he gave up 11 runs (10 earned) today in relief.

13. Der Komminsk-sar Posted: April 19, 2006 at 03:54 PM (#1974753)

What's the story with Mobley?

14. Mike Emeigh Posted: April 19, 2006 at 04:15 PM (#1974856)

What's the story with Mobley?

Shoulder tendinitis - AKA "it hurts and we don't know why". He couldn't find the plate with two hands and a guide dog on Monday night.

-- MWE

15. Mike Emeigh Posted: April 19, 2006 at 04:20 PM (#1974882)

Tampa promoted P Jose Rodriguez from Montgomery to Durham and P Mike Prochaska (former NC State ace) from extended spring to Montgomery.

-- MWE

16. Mike Emeigh Posted: April 19, 2006 at 04:23 PM (#1974895)

Mobile placed Bobby Basham on the DL, acquired P Ryan Trytten from Lake Elsinore.

-- MWE

17. Mike Emeigh Posted: April 19, 2006 at 04:39 PM (#1974959)

Wichita signed former Texas OF prospect Juan Senreiso.

-- MWE

18. Bicycle RepairMan Posted: April 19, 2006 at 04:48 PM (#1974996)

Ricardo rodriguez started for richmond? the guy who was waived by the phillies?

19. Der Komminsk-sar Posted: April 19, 2006 at 04:57 PM (#1975025)

R.Rodriguez - the same. He was on a pitch count - hence only lasting 4 innings.
Senreiso - He started the season with High Desert where he was struggling.

20. Der Komminsk-sar Posted: April 19, 2006 at 06:54 PM (#1975205)

So, why is Pat Borders playing almost every day down in Vero Beach? And, when he goes, will Chris Westervelt get to catch any? (I think he's only DH'ed this year.)

21. Der Komminsk-sar Posted: April 19, 2006 at 06:56 PM (#1975208)

Sadlowski, not McCormick, starting for Quad Cities.

22. Dingbat Charlie Posted: April 20, 2006 at 12:27 AM (#1976019)

Mike, you're incredible. I now just come here for any minor league news.

Huber is smoking the PCL. Surely even the Royals have to consider giving him a callup before too much longer.

23. Mike Emeigh Posted: April 20, 2006 at 10:33 AM (#1976462)

So, why is Pat Borders playing almost every day down in Vero Beach?

This article should help explain it.

I now just come here for any minor league news.

That's part of the idea.

Huber is smoking the PCL. Surely even the Royals have to consider giving him a callup before too much longer.

A lot of people are smoking the PCL - did you see what Justin Leone is doing?

More to the point: As long as Sweeney, Stairs, and Mientkiewicz are clogging the 1B/DH slots, Huber has no place to play. He's not a catcher any more (there's no point in arguing that he should still be one), and until the Royals relieve the logjam, Huber might as well stay in AAA playing every day.

24. Der Komminsk-sar Posted: April 20, 2006 at 12:56 PM (#1976734)

Thanks, Mike.

25. Der Komminsk-sar Posted: April 20, 2006 at 01:01 PM (#1976746)

Hey, Midland folks! Ray Aguilar started on the mound for you last night - is he still knuckleballin' or throw other kinds of slop? The world needs lefty knucklers...

26. Mike Emeigh Posted: April 20, 2006 at 01:08 PM (#1976761)

Ray Aguilar started on the mound for you last night - is he still knuckleballin' or throw other kinds of slop?

He was in Carolina last year, and he was throwing other kinds of slop. I don't think he was still throwing the knuckler.
