Dam8610 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Anyone have any predictions for who the White Sox will send? Also, when will rosters be announced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam8610 Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 http://mlb.mlb.com/r/article?ymd=20160823&...ws&c_id=cws At the end of the article, the wording is confusing. Is Collins or Hansen going to the Arizona Fall League? Only one can go, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I doubt Collins goes, but I could see Hansen going since he "saved" some innings by being in the bullpen in college his junior year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Collins will be going to the AFL but before he goes, he will attend the instructional, which Hansen will also be attending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Collins is in for the AFL. I could swear there was a thread for this already, but now I can't find it. Oh well. My guess is the other 6 or 7 guys will come from this list (remember that it's mostly AA and AAA guys by the rules, though the rules are flexible)... Brad Goldberg (want to know what they have here, if anything) Blake Smith (same as Goldberg) Eddy Alvarez (needs to keep adding work to catch up) Danny Hayes (if he's healthy, to catch up on lost time) Jacob May (same as Hayes) Matt Cooper (same as Goldberg) Brian Clark (Actually went down in innings this year, could be MLB in 2017) Nolan Sanburn (missed time, just now getting a groove) Connor Walsh (was promoted to AA just in time to be AA for it - not a coincidence IMO, and needs refinement around a big fastball) Hunter Jones (Same as Walsh, and I've gotten a report from some scouts that maybe he's actually a prospect) ***Small chance that Tanner Banks or Mason Robbins could go from High A Instructs is a different beast. That will mostly be rookie ball guys, a few from A-ball levels. Just the youngsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Do we think Blake Hickman will try out Winter ball or the sox will just start him up next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he's doing sim games right now. I'd guess he throws in Fall Instructs. Winter ball I'm not sure, but we can ask him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winter ball I'm not sure, but we can ask him. Feels like that injury couldn't happened at a worse part of the season. Basically lost two years to it.

southsider2k5 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I don't recall the Sox sending a draft pick to AFL immediately before. Has it happened before? Do other teams do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it happened before? Do other teams do it? It is very unusual. AFL is supposed to be mostly AA and above guys, with teams allowed one or two guys below that (sometimes they get an exception for one more). And draft picks in their draft year is certainly not typical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donaldo Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Is Adam Engel eligible, or is there some rule preventing a player from going two years in a row? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 If they don't give Fulmer a number of big league starts in September I could see them sending him to get his innings up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No rule against it, but it is rarely done.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Wow, didn't expect Collins to get the AFL due to him just being draft from a college season, and being a catcher, figured they would want to give his legs a rest.

I got the majority of those right. I didn't predict Michalczewski because he's been there before, and players rarely go twice. Also kinda surprised at Hawkins, but hey, why not.

I liked Rowand as a player, but I certainly hope that this is not so they can announce him as the new manager after this season ends and claim that he has experience.

There is no reason why Matt Albers should be getting innings that Goldberg could be pitching. You're confusing my thoughts with the Sox' thoughts. I agree that I'd much rather see a Blake Smith or Brad Goldberg, than Matt Albers or Justin Turner. I'm just not sure the Sox feel the same way.
