Today's Roster Move - July 15th

Well, we knew a roster move was coming if Mike Belfiore was to start tonight, and we were right.

It was just announced that LHP Mike Belfiore was activated from the DL, while RHP Brad Wilson has been sent to Yakima.

You can find more information in the headlines section of www.silverhawks.com.

Tomorrow's Probable Pitcher

They keep telling me that LHP Mike Belfiore will start tomorrow's game.

While that is good news for Mike and the Silver Hawks, it's bad news for somebody else on the team. At 25 active players, somebody is going to have to either be put on the DL or moved somewhere else for Mike to be activated.

I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Slacking on the Blog

Yes, I know I've been slacking this weekend. Forgive me.

A few things I wanted to mention:

-Great last five games for South Bend, going 4-1. The Silver Hawks are trying for their fourth sweep of the season tonight and their first since May 8-9 when they took three from Dayton (doubleheader on the 8th).

-It appears as if Chris Owings and Mike Belfiore are close to getting healthy. I don't know a timetable for their return, but I do know that when they are back, somebody else has to be moved since the roster is at the maximum of 25.

-Game time tonight is at 7:05 PM Eastern Time, and then a commute back to South Bend. Tomorrow is an off day, which is much needed and well deserved for the players. The team continues the road trip Wednesday at Kane County.

Two Players Land on DL

The injuries are mounting.

In addition to Chris Owings continuing to battle plantar fasciitis (not on the DL), pitchers Mike Belfiore and Scottie Allen were placed on the DL with their own injuries.

No immediate replacements were named.

Great Win Last Night

I don't want to get too wrapped up in one victory, because, well...it's just one victory. But considering all the factors, last night's win was definiately a big win for the Silver Hawks.

Consider...

-South Bend had lost 3 in a row and 9 of their last 10.

-South Bend trailed from the 1st inning to the 8th inning.

-South Bend's starter Mike Belfiore pitched a great game, but departed in line for another loss because of a lack of run support.

-The Hawks were held without a hit from the 2nd inning until the 8th inning.

-Matt Helm was hitting below .200 before going 3-for-4 last night.

-Lake County had not lost a game when leading that late all season long.

-The Silver Hawks bullpen pitched 4.0 scoreless innings.

-The game was on the road.

-The game was against the first place Captains.

Add all those together, and to me, that equals a great win.

2010 Infield?

If the Diamondbacks transfer the Missoula infield to South Bend next season, it could be fantastic. Baseball America has rated the Pioneer League's top 20 prospects, and four Missoula Osprey made it, including the second baseman, third baseman, and shortstop. You have to be a subscriber to read the scouting reports on all the players, but this link will take you to the story and the top 20 rankings.

To save you a little time, here are the Diamondbacks prospects and where they were ranked in the league:

#3 - 3B Bobby Borchering: 1st round pick, 2009 (One spot ahead of A.J. Pollock)
#7 - SS Chris Owings: Supplemental 1st round pick, 2009 (41st overall)
#12 - LHP Mike Belfiore: Supplemental 1st round pick, 2009 (45th overall)
#19 - 2B David Nick: 4th round pick, 2009

The Northwest League (Yakima Bears) top 20 is announced today, so I'll post about that tomorrow morning. The Midwest League is set to be announced on Thursday, so I'll do a big post about that on Friday.
