Cowart No Longer On 66ers Roster

[UCLAngel]

Kaleb Cowart has been removed from the 66ers roster.  In fact, I can't find him on any of the minor league affiliate rosters.  Has his time come to make the switch to pitcher?  I wonder if they sent him back to the instructional league to make the change.

Lightning in a bottle!

Doesn't hit the ball with any authority. Has a too cool for school approach at the plate. Would love to see him play more focused and angry. 

[wopphil]

I LMAO. Thanks Richard.

This has to only be to take Kubitza's place temporarily.

[Chimi]

I don't think this guy is going to work out. He's been in the system now what... five years? He's 23 and back in A ball (before the prop too today). Completely forgot about this guy.

[AngelStew43]

His batting average was up to .242, which I know isn't good, but considering where he was when the season started, he is making good progress.  Maybe he's going to be one of those late bloomers.

that would be odd considering that Green, Rutledge and Ryan Jackson could fill in as need be if it were for a short period.  

 

he's been very good for the last month.  926ops with a bunch of doubles and more BB than K.  Maybe something clicked.  

 

Plus, they've had him playing a little 1b, LF, and SS in addition to 3b.  

 

It seems he may have deserved a promotion and maybe they didn't want to send him to Arkansas to kill his confidence again.  

 

He literally turned 23 a few days ago so if finally got it together then he's still got a ton of value.

I wouldn't mind Bitzy staying around and getting a DH opportunity. 2 hits yesterday more than cron can do. Am i right?

[Reveille1984]

Seems kind of weird, but whatever. 

 

Maybe its a last ditch effort to see if whatever he's been doing to improve in A+ ball can transfer over to a different environment.  Kind of odd to skip AA alltogether though.  I think its a bit late to worry about killing his confidence, he's sucked for pretty much three years straight and has already been demoted.

Bitzy can play 3rd base, he actually better defensively than offensively.  Ignore the hacks on here who think otherwise based on one play yesterday.

You really say some stupid, baseless shit.

 

His entire scouting report is about how he has been pretty "meh" defensively, but is making strides. It's based on his entire minor league career, not just "one play".

They were talking about Kubitza.

[ettin]

Oh.... well that's what they get for using such an un-obvious nick name.... I'll delete the post then.

[RenoHalo]

Lach and SLC skipper Dave Anderson were calling Kubitza 'Koobie' in Reno a couple weeks ago. That must be his handle....

[Second Base]

He's looked good. Good enough to consider keeping him around for the rest of the year.

Kubitza, not Cowart.
