Charleston almost no-hit again

NOTE: Make sure you check out the previous thread for a Chien-Ming Wang injury update.

Brian Baisley was released. The 26-yr old crushed Low-A pitching early in the year (.339-.402-.505), but struggled big time after a promotion to High-A (.170-.261-.198). Here’s a bunch of other notes from farm director Mark Newman, courtesy of Chad Jennings.
