Around SBN: DTN Interviews SI's Austin Murphy Bar-right-arrows



Gordon Beckham

He's listed on Milb.com as being on the Kannapolis roster:

http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?n=Gordon%20Beckham&pos=SS&sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=493596

 

This is a great thing considering a fair amount of rookies start out in short-season rookie ball.  Kannapolis has only 17 games left, which isn't bad considering how late in the season we are and the MILB Playoffs being just around the corner.  Anyone have any idea on when he'll get his first taste of Minor League Baseball?

Good riddance Orlando Cabrera…

where's the consistency? one game battering gio doesn't mean much, but a big weekend in kanny is huge?

based on his weekend of pummelling the pitching of the most godawful team in the sally league,

i’d say he should be called up to the big league club before the end of the month. that way he’ll be available for the playoffs.

paging mr. poreda. paging mr. aaron poreda. your seat in the left field bullpen is ready.

he'll need to get through A+ first.

eventually, sure

but for now he’ll get a 2 week trial in Kanny

nothing gets ‘em wetter than infrequent postings on the city’s second favorite team
