Nice to see some legitimate prospects at AAA....just two-three years ago, we had nearly zero prospects at AAA (or at AA for that matter).

[Jeff B]

Really strong team for the Knights this year.
FutureSox season preview

Should be a fun team to follow.

[DirtySox]

Flowers homers in his first AB of the year. Hopefully it was with a nice short stroke.

[DirtySox]

Jordan Danks also homers. 2 run shot.

Prove me wrong Mr. Danks.

Hudson makes his first start of the season tonight. 6:15

I was just about to ask when he was getting a start. Thanks.

Hudson gave up a leadoff homer in the first. He retired 14 straight batters after that, single, walk, and then another out. 8 strikeouts thru 5. 80 pitches. 49 strikes.

Hudson's line:

5.2 IP 3 H 1 ER 1 BB 9 K

Gunning to take Peavy's spot when he's demoted.

Dude is going to be a stud.

I'm really starting to hope they hang onto him. Once Peavy works off the rust and Freddy leaves eventually, our rotation could be scary good.

Agreed. Kid knows how to pitch and has 3 solid offerings. He isn't likely to become an ace, but he throws strikes and has great poise and mound presence. There are no legitimate starting pitching prospects behind him, which is why I think (hope) he stays.

[JermaineDye05]

Small sample size, but it's nice to see Flowers get off to a good start early offensively.

9 hits and 4 of them have been for extra bases and he has 8 RBI.

After his poor spring he needed this.

I don't even know if this is a line that should impress me. I saw better than this from Grady Hall in person in AAA a little over 20 years ago, and, having seen it, I could see the numbers didn't tell the whole story.

Umpiring can be wildly inconsistent in AAA. Against some AAA teams, you can get away with only one pitch. I don't know what sort of a strike zone Hudson was dealing with. I don't know why Hudson didn't go a full 6 innings. He didn't even pitch a quality start.

Indeed, Hudson might have great stuff. He might be a great pitcher. But these stats don't tell me much, least of all what he'll do in the majors.
