Probably not a great sign that I dread Guolito starts rather than looking forward to them. The gun readings are just too depressing, at least he's been pitching same day as Dunning to soften the blow.

 

 

The Charlotte gun was way off in his last start but yeah he's like 93-94 now

Speaking of neither of them, are people no longer excited about Spencer Adams. he's only 21 (today, happy birthday spencer, have a beer!) and at AA. His walk rate is still great.

 

Is it just the low K rate that has everyone cooling on him?

I think many fans are waiting to see how Adams responds this year. AA was a challenge for him last year but he held his own. Also waiting to see if his K rate comes up.

I don't think Adams will ever be a strikeout pitcher which is fine but he needs to be an effective groundball pitcher

Agree, Adams won't be a strike out pitcher but his K rate is still low even for a non-strikeout pitcher. If Adams could learn how to throw a good Splitter/Sinker with his control, he could be a ground ball machine. He has enough height to get a good downward angle.

 

Not concerned about Adams though. Kid is still young. I think he's been kind of lost in the mix with Giolito, Lopez and Dunning being added to the farm recently.

i know there is no reason to rush guys, but fisher should probably be in high A before too long

Can make a case for Remillard too. Seeing as how they are college draftees I wouldn't think bumping them to Winston-Salem would be too aggressive.

Kyle Glaser‏ @KyleAGlaser 14m14 minutes ago

Lucas Giolito FB 92-94, SL 83-87, CH 83 in first. CH was nasty, FB command not great. Gave up RBI 2B to Casey Gillespie off FB #WhiteSox

Giolito's fastball velo is fine, but it's getting hit hard because command below-average. Two outs just crushed last inning

Collins has thrown out 2 so far. That's 6 of 8 on the season. Obviously a lot more to catching defense than throwing guys out but this is clearly a good sign

 

There was a great article earlier in the week about his throwing. One of the steals was uncontested
