SoCalChiSox

Jake Eder savaging so far.....5 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 6 K, 1 BB.

IMO his development is more important than any of those guys. The Sox felt he was a first round talent pre injury (which it looks like he has recovered fully) and paid good money to prevent him from returning to LSU. He isn't being challenged at all in Low A and there's nothing there that will force him to make adjustments. It can be just like Schultz in AA....get him in the rotation and another starter can piggyback mid game during his starts. It's not like they are letting Taylor go 7 innings each time or anything.

Taylor needs to be moved up to High A.

Like everything except the handedness.

Nice!

I know but I was hoping maybe we could pair him with a reliever and get something good.

Yeah but they didnt sign him...thats the whole point That would be a weak return.

Rosenthal article mentioned today that they like Tommy Pham. I wonder what we could realistically get for him?

STFU Pedro you stupid dumbass...its your job to get them ready to play.

Schultz AA debut: 4 IP,1 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 5 K. 28 strikes on 40 pitches FILTHY Iriarte now in.

Dude is killing it in AA so far

He has a very low BABIP...and his WRC+ is still solid nontheless....when it normalizes his stats will really take off.

It sure would be a shame if they wasted another year of their window.

It's true that his BABIP is abnormally low at .213 but he's also not walking anywhere near as much as he used to and he's striking out more, and there's still no power, so part of it is on bad luck but alot of it is on him too.

Hopefully Zavala is starting to turn a corner at the plate.

Colas isn't doing a ton at the plate right now to earn a promotion even aside from the stupid beef the staff has with him.

Bye, Mom

Good to see he snapped his cold streak lately.

Sounds like he's only a couple weeks away.

He got 44m SV in exchange for giving up 42m, so he got fair value, but perhaps not the expected significant additional premium for pitching.

I know Jim Bowden is frequently off-base but he suggested one "top prospect" (I'm assuming that means Top 100), plus one Top 10 (in a system) plus a few Top 30s (in a system). I know Robert's salaries are gonna start escalating but that would be a garbage return either way. Need to have 3 Top 100s.

That's very interesting... it will be a big jump for him.

Interesting that he got promoted to AA before Thorpe got promoted to AAA despite Schultz having several just OKish outings and Thorpe being dominant.

Savage is tearing up ACL. Promote him to Kanny.

If Fedde keeps it up its very possible we could get a backend Top 100 player. Need LHS that can play RF badly.
