Update on 2011 Silver Hawks on Different Teams Now

Originally I was just going to post about Zach Walters and update you on what he did, but I figured I should turn this into an update on all the players who have played with South Bend that are now on different teams.

Keon Broxton  - .233, 4 HR, 27 RBIs, 20 SB, but 96 K's with high-A Visalia.

Raul Navarro - .197, 0 HR, 8 RBIs in 33 games with short-season A Yakima.

Zach Walters - Went 1-for-3 in his debut with the high-A Potomac Nationals yesterday.

Brian Budrow - 4-2, 5.35 ERA in 20 relief appearances for high-A Visalia.

Enrique Burgos - 3-3, 7.07 ERA in 8 starts for rookie Missoula.  38 K's in 35.2 IP.

David Holmberg - 2-2, 5.01 ERA in 6 starts for high-A Visalia.  28 K's in 32.1 IP.

Greg Robinson - 0-4, 6.75 ERA in 13 relief appearances for short-season A Yakima.

Dan Taylor - 0-0, 4.73 ERA in 6 appearances (1 start) for high-A Visalia.  12 K's in 13.1 IP.

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.

What's With Bullpen Pitchers?

Why are all bullpen pitchers just strange characters? 

For some unknown reason, Brian Budrow, Dan Taylor, and Eury De La Rosa are participating in baserunning drills...typically reserved for offensive players only.

Listen, I'm all for conditioning, but it's just funny to see these guys running the bases and praciting tagging up at third.

Gotta love relievers.

May 17th Roster Move

RHP Chase Anderson promoted to high-A Visalia.

LHP Dan Taylor promoted to high-A Visalia.

RHP Scott Allen joins Silver Hawks from extended spring training.

More information can be found here.

Owen's Analysis (which is in no way official): Visalia has been devastated with injuries to pitchers this season. Anderson and Taylor are going up to fill roles, and maybe stay for the long term if they are effective. Both are college draftees, so they are experienced enough to handle a move up.

Allen is a young pitcher who will likely fill one of the starting roles (maybe tomorrow) for South Bend. It'll be interesting to see what an 18-year-old pitcher can do against this veteran league.

Finally, the roster is only at 23 active players. It won't stay that way for long. Expect more moves coming soon.

April 6th Morning Report

A few notes for you to start the day...

-The players had practice yesterday evening, and they signed up for their gym memberships so they have a place to work out while they are in South Bend. The last two days have also been used to get the players set up with apartments to live in for the year.

-Monday I went to all 25 guys and had them pronounce their name for me so that I made sure I got it right. Yesterday I went to all 25 guys again, and gave them the opportunity to change their height, weight, and hometown on the roster to be sure that it was accurate. So if click on the roster tab on www.silverhawks.com, the height and weight are what the players told me (I made them promise to be accurate!).

-As far as practice goes, yesterday the Silver Hawks had a "simulated game" against each other. The two pitchers I watched most closely on the mound were Dan Taylor (lefty, 5th starter) and Randy Rodriguez (righty, long reliever). I was very impressed by both pitchers, and I think the hitters were as well since many of them turned around after various pitches to ask the catchers "what was that?"

-Keny Sosa and Diogenes Rosario threw as well, but I wasn't behind the cage at that point and can't give a great report on there stuff. I can tell you that Rosario has a rather effortless motion, but still pops the ball around 92-93 mph.

-It's supposed to rain all day in South Bend today, so practice outside will likely be canceled. However, there are some indoor facilities that can be used (either the Silver Hawks cage beyond the centerfield wall or Notre Dame's facility on their campus).
