BamaDoc Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 You save 7 million and get a guy who can play center and hits lefty. While he has little power, if he is a cardinal he will do everything else the "right" way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whisox05 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Heard from pair of scouts that Charlie Tilson has plus speed, is a good defender with discipline at plate. Bat is the question. #WhiteSox https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/759792804495261696 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 09:45 AM) If the Sox aren't going to make any bigger moves, they just traded one of their better relievers from their already thin bullpen for a fourth outfielder which weakens them for next year. So if the plan was to give it one more shot with this group in 2017, this is a bad move as it stands alone. Duke's contract should not have been an issue. This move should signal that the Sox are about to make some big moves, or at least a flurry of smaller moves. Otherwise it looks pretty much like making a trade just for the sake of making a trade. Agreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaDoc Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 A sad fact on our minors and I realize it is a MLB prospect rating so take it with a pound of salt but his hit tool is rated at 55 (power 30). 55 is as high a rating as any of our hitting prospects in top 30. Collins and Fisher are the only TWO at 55. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whisox05 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Opinion is Charlie Tilson definitely can handle CF. "Speed player that can run the ball down." Average over power. https://twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/759793980003475456 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Fireworks Man Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jul 31, 2016 -> 10:51 AM) http://www.barstoolsports.com/chicago/whit...charlie-tilson/ From reading that, he sounds better than what I read elsewhere, or at least the Sox scouts see him that way, so take it with a grain of salt, I guess: White Sox Scout: “Extremely fast, athletic. Really good defender with speed. Should play for Sox now. Line drive hitter. People thought power would come, hasn’t quite yet. Brett Gardner is a good player comp." I've read elsewhere that he is a ground ball hitter and average on defense. The Sox scouts say he is a line drive hitter and a really good defender. Only time will tell. He should be starting in CF for the White Sox for the rest of the season to see what he's got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaDoc Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) New #5 prospect. That should be a wakeup for some. Cardinals are good mlb and much deeper farm. Currently we are neither.

winninguglyin83 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 is he coming to chicago or Charlotte? playing in the Cardinals' system, at least he should be better at fundamentals than most.
