CHICAGO—Considering that the White Sox dealt with an array of
relief problems during the first two weeks of the regular
season, it might not be long before former starting pitcher
Anthony Carter gets a shot to display his talents.
Carter, 25, has embarked on his second season as a reliever at
Triple-A Charlotte and hadn't allowed a run in his first two
appearances for the Knights while striking out three in four
innings.
Carter's acceptance and adapting to relief after four minor
league seasons as a starter could help him advance.
"I didn't have to preserve myself so I could go six innings,"
said Carter, who signed as a draft-and-follow as a 26th-round
pick out of Georgia Perimeter College in the 2005 draft. "I was
out there for one or two innings, and whatever I had in the tank
was what I put out there."
Carter made a strong impression in spring training but was
blocked out of a veteran bullpen. The coaching staff, however,
was aware of his success for Team USA in the Pan Am qualifying
tournament last fall and in the Arizona Fall League.
Carter credited Double-A pitching coach J.R. Perdew and pitching
coordinators Kirk Champion and Curt Hasler with helping him make
a smooth transition.
"He didn't look at it as a demotion," Champion said. "He looked
at it as an opportunity. So that was the first hurdle he had to
clear. He started being more aggressive and becoming more of a
'I'm coming at you' mentality rather than as a starter where
he's moving the fastball around and changing speeds, He really
took to it. He was never afraid to throw inside as a starter.
"He takes the mound with confidence because he knows he's
prepared and doesn't think about being a reliever instead of a
starter."
CHI-LITES
• To replace Jerry Krause as their director of international
scouting, the White Sox will train several evaluators—including
Dominican academy coordinator Rafael Santana, Dominican scout
Guillermo Reyes and Venezuelan scout Amador Arias—in the "White
Sox way," general manager Ken Williams said. Those scouts will
work with amateur and pro scouts and prepare in case a worldwide
draft becomes part of the next Basic Agreement, Williams said.
• Third baseman Jon Gilmore and shortstop Tyler Saladino were in
extended spring training recovering from hand injuries. Gilmore
could resume playing by the end of April, while Saladino was
expected to return in May.

Carter not doing too well in AAA yet. I would bring up Kinney or
Bruney if we needed someone.

Reyes and Venezuelan scout Amador Arias—in the "White Sox way,"
Given the problems they've had with international player
recruitment, is this a good idea?

Charlotte lost 8-5, Dolsi took the loss. Charlotte appears to
have a good bullpen. Viciedo hit another homer among his 2 hits,
but he had 2 errors in RF too. Danks and Lucy also homered.

Charlotte won 6-3. Hynick started and got the win. Kinney and
Bruney are both sitting in the pen with 0.00 ERA, we have some
tough pens in our org. Flowers had a 3-run homer off Millwood
among his 2 hits. Gallagher had 3 hits. DeAza had 2.

Can't talk about him much when he does not deserve it. He and
Phegley are both so over-rated.
