When the Sox acquired him last season, they sent him to Charlotte. If he keeps this up, I expect him to be in Charlotte again before the end of the year.

At least Teahen has some kind of defensive flexibility and hopefully Morel will force the Sox to find creative, new ways to utilize Mark (for example, keeping the bench warm).

Infante has been good, but I'm a little surprised he was promoted over guys like Remenowsky and Bellamy (even though Bellamy is on his second level). Those two have been blowing away guys at W-S.

Just talked to a scout about #WhiteSox Double-A Birmingham team: "There's nothing to see here on the field, no big leaguers among hitters."

There was a talent void in Charlotte last year, now there looks to be a talent void in Birmingham. Injuries to key prospects have really slowed down the progress of the farm system.

That, and the farm system is terrible.

Ouch, not even Justin Greene who just got promoted? He did pretty good at Winston-Salem.

He was old for High-A. I like Greene, but it remains to be seen what he does in AA. He's a fringy prospect.

Although it's nice that W/S is winning, most of the guys there are fringe prospects too old to be at that level.

Hynick has been promoted to Charlotte. In his first start for the Knights last night he pitched 7.0 innings, gave up five hits and three runs.

[DirtySox]

Bellamy and Eduardo Escobar to Birmingham.

[DirtySox]

Phegley promoted to the Barons for some reason.

Wasn't exactly tearing it up before then. Logic is lost in this system.

He's actually been hitting well since coming off his last DL trip, but yeah his numbers certainly weren't good enough to warrant a promotion. I don't know what the hell the Sox are basing promotions on. This reminds of how Leesman got promoted to Birmingham after getting killed in W-S. I guess logic really is indeed lost in this already godawful system.
