We start today's posts with a roster move.
LHP Eury De La Rosa promoted to high-A Visalia.
No corresponding move has been announced, nor is one expected. This move is a bit of a head scratcher for me. Visalia is not in the playoff hunt, and while the Silver Hawks chances are slim, they are still mathematically alive. Why take the closer and arguably best reliever from this team at this point in the season?
Obviously, there are reasons for everything, and congratulations to Eury on the promotion.

Today's Roster Move - August 10th
OF Marc Bourgeois has joined the Silver Hawks from Yakima.
He takes the place of Chris Jarrett, who retired from professional baseball on Sunday. Bourgeois is a left-handed bat and was hitting .268 for the Bears. He didn't have a homer, but eight doubles and five triples isn't too shabby.
I'm guessing his name is pronounced Boo-zhwah (the French Canadian pronounciation), but I'll find out for sure when he arrives this afternoon.

Today's Roster Move - August 7th
Pitcher Blake Cooper has been promoted to high-A Visalia. No corresponding move has been announced yet.
Full story can be found on www.silverhawks.com in the headlines section.
Analysis: They needed a reliever in Visalia, and Cooper has some of the better numbers with South Bend. Aside from a rough spell in early July, he's been solid -- particularly at the back end of the bullpen.
I would assume South Bend would add someone tomorrow.

Today's Roster Move - August 1st
With Saturday's trade of Zach Walters to the Washington Nationals organization, the Arizona Diamondbacks have announced today the promotion of infielder David Narodowski to the South Bend Silver Hawks. Narodowski joins the Hawks from short-season A Yakima.

Roster Move - Sort Of
LHP Patrick Schuster has been placed on the suspended list. This is for throwing at Chris Jacobs during that incident on July 7th. This really isn't a big deal because it's a three game suspension (Friday-Sunday) and he's not scheduled to pitch again until Monday night in relief of Tyler Green.
Anyhow, there you have it.

Today's Roster Move - July 10th
And here we go again...
LHP Dan Taylor promoted to high- A Visalia.
RHP Kable Hogben joins team from short-season A Yakima.
Analysis: Taylor has been phenomenal and deserves to go up. At the same time, by promoting him the bullpen weakens a bit and the team loses a veteran presence during the roughest stretch of the season. On the positive side, Hogben has been absolute dominant for Yakima and it is nice to see him get another chance in South Bend. Full story here.

Today's Roster Move - July 3rd
And here we go with another roster move:
INF Mike Freeman placed on DL retroactive to July 2nd.
INF Niko Gallego joins team from AA Mobile.
OF Bobby Stone removed from roster and sent to Arizona for further evaluation.
Analysis: Freeman injured his knee on the rundown play in Lake County. Hopefully, he will not miss too much time but I think the concern is whether there is any damage to the ligaments. Gallego was not playing much at all in Mobile, so he gets a chance to come to South Bend and play a bit more often. Stone hasn't played since mid-May and he keeps having setbacks in his recovery from an arm injury. They are going to fly him back to Phoenix for more rehab and evaluation.

Today's Roster Move - June 30th
It's official, David Holmberg has been moved up to Visalia. Here's the move:
LHP David Holmberg promoted to high-A Visalia.
RHP Victor Capellan joins team from high-A Visalia.
Analysis: Holmberg was simply dominant, and this is a well-deserved promotion. While it stinks for the Silver Hawks, it is certainly good for him and we all wish him the best. I have a strong feeling we'll see him again on TV someday. He was simply that good.
Capellan has struggled with the Rawhide this year, but had decent numbers with them last season and great stats with South Bend in 2009. He is a reliever though, so the Silver Hawks will have to figure out who will fill Holmberg's spot in the rotation.

Today's Roster Move - June 24th
So I'll have a few more posts later today, but I figured I should get back to blogging by letting you know about today's roster move.
INF Ramon Castillo returns to South Bend from AAA Reno.
INF Raul Navarro sent to short-season A Yakima.
Analysis: Not a big surprise here. Castillo moved up to fill-in with Reno due to an injury. Navarro has been struggling, and as one of the younger players on the team, he's better suited in a lower level now that they have started up. Expect Navarro back with South Bend to start next season and hopefully with better numbers in 2012.

Monday's Roster Move
INF/C Ramon Castillo promoted to AAA Reno.
INF Gerson Montilla joins team from extended spring training.
Analysis: When a player jumps from South Bend to Reno, it's because they need someone to fill in for a few days (or a week, or two weeks). Castillo was most likely selected because he can play multiple positions (first, third, catcher) and also serve as the bullpen catcher. At the same time, he has an opportunity to showcase his skills for higher-ups in the organization.
Montilla played in double-A and high-A Visalia last season, but struggled in the advanced levels. You can read the full press release here.

Arbelo's Award and a Roster Move
I have been one busy Media Relations Director today.
First, I sent out a press release about a roster move. Then, I received notification that Yazy Arbelo was awarded Midwest League Hitter of the Week, so that resulted in another press release.
The full releases can be found on www.silverhawks.com, or you can just read below for a summary:
First of all, the award is no surprise for Arbelo, who hit .455 with three homers and seven RBIs over the past week. It's the first weekly award for a Silver Hawks player this season.
Secondly, the roster move is as follows:
RHP Tyler Green activated from DL
RHP Chris Odegaard promoted to Visalia
RHP Enrique Burgos sent to extended spring training camp
RHP Gregory Robinson joins team from extended spring training camp
Analysis: Green getting healthy and Burgos going back to extended spring training was planned all along. Burgos was just here to fill the gap until Green was healthy again. On the other side of the move, Odegaard gets a chance to go back to Visalia again. He struggled there to start the season, but tossed 7.2 scoreless innings with the Hawks. Robinson was good last season in Yakima, and he joins the already solid bullpen.

Today's Roster Move - May 20th
The team has made it to Midland, Michigan, where we get the day of posting started with a roster move.
OF Bobby Stone placed on the DL, retroactive to yesterday.
OF Roberto Ortiz joins team from extended spring training.
Stone injured his arm throwing out the runner at the plate in Tuesday's game vs. Lansing. He will hopefully only miss the one week minimum, but you never know with arm injuries.
Ortiz has a lot of speed, stealing 23 bases in 27 tries last season with Yakima. He figures to play off and on in left field with Roberto Rodriguez.

Today's Roster Move - May 9th
RHP Brian Budrow promoted to high-A Visalia.
RHP Keith Cantwell joins club from extended spring training.
My take: Good for Budrow. He never should have been in South Bend to begin with this year, and it's a well deserved, if not belated, promotion to where he should have been all along. He takes the spot of Chase Anderson, who went on the DL today with the Rawhide.
Losing a strong member of the bullpen usually hurts, but judging by the numbers Cantwell has put up the last two season in Missoula and Yakima (combined 9-3, 3.46 ERA with 92 K's in 80.2 innings), hopefully there won't be much of a drop off.

Today's Roster Move
We start today with a roster move:
Joining the Silver Hawks from Visalia: RHP Chris Odegaard
Returning to Extended Spring Training: RHP Kable Hogben
My Commentary (as if you care): This is simply a numbers game. A player coming off the DL in Visalia means that someone had to move. Odegaard was struggling, but is a bit older, so they moved him down to South Bend instead of extended spring. Hogben just happens to be the odd man out of the Silver Hawks bullpen, mainly because he's the youngest reliever on the staff. In no way is this an indication of Hogben's ability, and we certainly expect to see him back with the team at some point this season.

Keon Broxton Promoted to Visalia
The internet at the hotel we were staying at has been out since 12 noon yesterday. As a media relations person, this is incredibly frustrating. As a blogger, it's downright impossible. We are at the stadium now and I feel like I'm human again now that I can get online.
That brings me to the headline of this post, which I would have put up yesterday if I had internet access. After last night's game, Keon Broxton was informed that he is heading to Visalia to fill in for the injured Adam Eaton. Broxton departed this morning from Ohio, and is no longer with the Silver Hawks.
No corresponding roster move has been made to this point, although I would imagine a new player is going to be added before tomorrow's game against the Loons. Wait and see.

Today's Roster Move - September 1st

August 18th Roster Move
Good afternoon. We start the day of posts with a roster move.
3B Matt Davidson - Promoted to Visalia.
RHP Derek Eitel - Joins Silver Hawks from Missoula.
OF Chris Jarrett - Joins Silver Hawks from Missoula.
The full article can be read in the headlines section of www.silverhawks.com.
My Take: Ouch! Nothing against the two players coming in, but losing your cleanup hitter and team leader in virtually every offensive category hurts no matter how you slice it. However, that's the way Minor League Baseball works and this team will have to find a way to rally without Davidson's big bat in the lineup.
Eitel and Jarrett both went to college in the state of Indiana, and put up impressive collegiate numbers. The numbers in Missoula weren't overwhelming, but hopefully they'll bring renewed energy to the club.
Eitel is expected to pitch in relief tomorrow after Tyler Skaggs makes his Silver Hawks debut. Jarrett could be in the lineup either today or tomorrow I would imagine.
