Feeky Magee Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Spencer Adams isn't a favourite when people list their future rotations but he might be one of the safest bets. I see him as close to a surefire 4th/5th with the K% deciding if he ends up better than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac9001 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 07:00 PM) http://mlbfarm.com/index.php?team=CWS Spencer with 7 K's through 4 With no hits and a single walk. The Barons have the absolute worst TV viewing angle out of any team I've watched this year. They might as well not even bother with the TV feed.

Chicago White Sox Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 08:06 PM) Spencer Adams isn't a favourite when people list their future rotations but he might be one of the safest bets. I see him as close to a surefire 4th/5th with the K% deciding if he ends up better than that. I 100% agree. I really think he can be a quality #4 caliber starter that eats innings. There's plenty of value in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I'm not big on ranking prospects, but I hope Spencer Adams is higher than Carson Fulmer on any list out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Adams has really picked up the K rate this season. Actually, the same can be said for Guerrero. Both have been impressive and should finish the season at Charlotte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's what we'll see when the post-season rankings come out. Based on this year's improvement and being left handed, Jordan Guerrero should be nipping at Fulmer's heals in the next rankings.

Yep, that May 27th start is when it turned around for him. I think the young man just needed some time to grow into his 6'3" frame. Was kinda skinny coming out of HS.

username Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Apparently his velo has bumped up to touching 94+ as of late. With his control and advanced pitchability he could really take off if he keeps striking people out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveno89 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 (edited) QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 11, 2017 -> 09:41 PM) It seems like a month ago people were writing Spencer off... mostly because they were. It's terrific to see Adams really taking developmental steps forward this season. Seven out of his past ten outings have been quality starts, he's keeping the walks down and getting more strikeouts. If he continues to have 92-94 mpg fastball velocity there is some mid rotation upside left in him. Control is tough to lean and he already has it. Digging a bit deeper into his numbers, his FIP is 3.12 and xFIP is 2.92 in AA this year. 7.51 K/9 is certainly an improvement and he's only walking 1.51 BB/9.

Dam8610 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 The Barons pitching staff is surprisingly good. Beyond Kopech, who has ace potential, you have Adams, Stephens, and Guerrero all with a decent chance to become MLB starters. The White Sox pitching depth in the minors is pretty incredible right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandwiched between Giolito (ace potential), Lopez (TOR potential), Fulmer, and Danish and Hansen, Dunning, Flores, and Lambert too, truly unbelievable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
