QUOTE (SouthWallace @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 06:44 PM) Found this interesting: CST_soxvan: Willy Garcia, a RF by trade, starting in CF for Charlotte. "We’ll see what he’s capable of doing out there as a possibility,'' Hahn said. https://twitter.com/cst_soxvan/status/854479521545945089 It can't hurt to see if he can play it, versatility is always nice.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 06:19 PM) Didn't they already have a private workout 2-3 weeks ago? In the article Badler said Robert cancelled some workouts (Sox included) because he had the flu.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 07:25 PM) Why in the world are Basabe & Call sitting two days in a row? Injuries?? Also, Johan Cruz with his 6th 2B on the season. He has a real chance to shoot up the prospect ranks. Call is on the 7 Day DL currently, not sure about Basabe. Dunning with the K to get out of a bases loaded jam.

QUOTE (Jimmy3Putt @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 05:58 PM) Over/under 5 games before he's back on the DL. I'll go under with 4.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 04:17 PM) Baseball America called him the best defensive infielder from the Sox 2016 draft class, FWIW. Also noted for a strong arm. In fact he was drafted more around his defense than offense, from what I understand. Last year in Great Falls he played mostly shortstop, but some 2B and even a couple games in LF. This year he's been just a 2B, which is a little odd since the shortstop position has been manned by Grant Massey (who is an org soldier) and Max Dutto (who is a good defensive SS but is riding the bench half the time). That makes me wonder about Roman's glove reputation a bit, but it's also just 11 games into the season so maybe not time to draw conclusions. Thanks for the insight! Since I've been following the minors a lot more diligently this season his numbers jumped out at me right away (albeit the small sample size to base it off of right now), but to me he's an interesting under-the-radar prospect.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 18, 2017 -> 10:51 AM) Here's the first FULL week Prospect Hot List report. Kannapolis starting to hit, everyone else starting to pitch. Who among these players is piquing your interest? Mitch Roman is intriguing to me, is he a poor man's Kevin Newman?

New Badler Article on Robert Says expected to be cleared prior to June 15. Shipps beat me, but Badler does mention the teams that have already gone over their pool for 16-17 are most likely to sign Robert FWIW.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Apr 16, 2017 -> 12:09 PM) I see you can watch farm games for $49. Anyone subscribe to this? I did as well, at the bottom if you enter in the promo code field any minor league team name, (knights, barons, drillers, etc.) it would give a $10 discount, at least when I purchased a couple weeks ago it was still active. Sometimes the quality it poor depending on the hosting team, but overall I'm happy with the decision I made to buy the subscription. It will enroll you in the automatic enrollment for the next season, so if you don't want that you just need to remember to cancel it next year.

Charlotte (4-5) @ Norfolk (2-7), Pelfrey vs Stewart, MiLB.tv, 6:05 CT Montgomery (5-3) @ Birmingham (1-7), Harris vs Lowry, MiLB.tv, 6:30 CT Buies Creek (7-2) @ Winston Salem (2-7), Quiala vs McRee, MiLB.tv, 5:30 CT Kannapolis (2-7) @ Hickory (4-5), DOUBLE HEADER, no starters announced yet, Game 1 @ 4:00 CT http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20170415

The top of Kanny's order had themselves a night, a combined 8-12, 5 R, 4 RBI, 1 2B, 1 HR, 3 BB (1 a piece between Booker, Roman, & Fisher), 1 SB.

Nice to see Zavala have a good day as well, 2-4 with a HR.

Kopech with 2 more Ks in the third.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 07:41 PM) Just keep in mind that Kopech is 20 years old for another 2 weeks and pitching in AA Oh i know, just pointing it out for those that aren't watching the stream. Sharing is caring!

Kopech issued a couple walks in the 2nd but also had 2Ks as well. Hitters worked the counts well that inning, fouled a good amount of pitches off.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 14, 2017 -> 01:23 PM) ALL GARCIA OUTFIELD #MASGARCIAS the rest of the lineup incase anyone cares about it All Garcia OF Lineup

Chicago White Sox @whitesox Prior to tonight’s game, the #WhiteSox placed Melky Cabrera on the Paternity List and recalled outfielder Willy Garcia from Charlotte. now it's official

Chicago White Sox @whitesox 7s #WhiteSox are expected to place Melky Cabrera on Paternity List on Friday. Melky is expected to be reinstated on Monday for the NY series. possibly why maybe Big Willy Style might be getting called up (or why we saw that out there today)? looks like the tweet was deleted rather quickly

Deadspin covers the Willy Garcia situation

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 13, 2017 -> 10:51 AM) Too bad. Geo can't make it through a season without the DL. Hopefully he recovers soon, or Kevan Smith breaks out. Hopefully Kevan gets a good shot to play so we can see what he's got, also didn't want to start a new thread for this since I'm already 0-1 today lol.

Chicago White Sox @whitesox Prior to tonight’s game, the #WhiteSox placed Geovany Soto on the 10-day DL and purchased the contract of Kevan Smith from Charlotte.

someone who has the ability should probably tweak the title on this since it's a bit misleading at this moment in time.

James Fegan @JRFegan now White Sox say no roster moves have been announced, and Willy Garcia will not be joining the team in Cleveland today who knows whats going on now.

Maybe they'll send Kahnle back down? I thought this was strange too but hey, #MASGARCIAS
