BlackSox13 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Easy to see how with all the talent on the farm but I think Adolfo's season has gone a bit under the radar. Despite the K's he made some nice progress this year. Might see Robert in CF and Adolfo in RF for Kanny next year. Should be a fun Kanny team next year.

Why would Alolfo spend another season in Kannapolis? He'll most certaintly get moved up to A+ to start 2018. Here's how I see the OFs shaking out to start the year, although I think there will be a lot of early promotions. Birmingham LF - Fisher CF - Polo RF - Jimenez 4th - Hawkins Winston-Salem LF - Rutherford CF - Basabe RF - Adolfo 4th - Call Kannapolis LF - Gonzalez CF - Robert RF - Dedelow 4th - Mercedes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to imagine 2018 is his final shot to get it going, same for Barnum, boy did our '12 class SUCK: http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/team/draft...s&year=2012 I proudly wanted Stroman or Giolito where Hawkins went pre-draft but also Seager, Wacha, Naquin, and Brinson went after Hawkins Barnum's round just completely sucked league wide Beck, Demichele, Hansen, Johnson, Coats...

Birmingham LF - Fisher CF - Polo RF - Jimenez 4th - Hawkins Winston-Salem LF - Rutherford CF - Basabe RF - Adolfo 4th - Call Kannapolis LF - Gonzalez CF - Robert RF - Dedelow 4th - Mercedes I just think that Adolfo's BA and K's would have him start in Kanny to begin the season. But, with the log jam of outfielders in both A ball levels, there's not much room to work with so one or two guys will have to move up. IMHO, Rutherford needs to start in Kanny and I think that's what happens if Robert impresses next spring. Adolfo and Basabe could help ease Robert's transition to playing ball in the US while it gives Rutherford time to find a groove at Kanny. Funny you mention Hawkins. Not that he has earned a promotion but with the OF talent the Sox have at AA and below, I wouldn't be surprised if the Sox force him to Charlotte. It's s*** or get off the pot time for Hawkins and I think the Sox patience has about run out on Hawkins. He's on borrowed time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi8is Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Sep 23, 2017 -> 06:45 PM) Gotcha. I take it Rutherford is the guy you wanted in the draft? Going into the draft I wanted Ray. Of the players still available at the time of the pick, yes, Rutherford was my top choice. I'm stoked now with how everything has transpired Edited October 4, 2017 by hi8is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, this is after spending a good chunk of the season at AA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
