SoxAce Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Luis Martinez is such an enigma as a prospect. Pretty good stuff, yet underwhelming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) Gio's night is done. 6.2, 5 hits, 3 runs, 2 walks, 6 k's. Edited August 11, 2017 by Rowand44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) It's refreshing to see Adolfo healthy and turning it on this season. Hope he keeps it up! Awesome to see progress with Seby as well Gio is just about ready to come up it appears in the next week or two. I'm glad we're not dependent upon him being our ace. I think he'll be solid. This rotation is going to be nasty in a few years...Rodon, Lopez, Kopech, Giolito, Hansen....then the pen could be pretty damn good as well. Eloy is quickly becoming one of my favorite prospects. Holy s*** he is impressive and dominant. Good to see Casey swinging the bat in AAA. I'd think he'd be up in September for some ABs. I was stoked we got him as a return for Jennings. Overall, I've been following every night down on the farm and it's exciting. I'll definitely cherish this time because this is a first for me with all of these young stud prospects. I didn't get to see Kanny this season here in Charleston. Hope I get to next season. Edited August 11, 2017 by SouthSideSale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 QUOTE (Tony @ Aug 11, 2017 -> 01:42 AM) Said it early last week, but I'm convinced Eloy will be the #1 prospect in baseball at some point in 2018 Especially if Acuna is on the Braves to start the year. Kopech should be top 5 also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) Nice start for Tanner Banks in Birmingham 6IP 4H 1R 6Ks 1BB Trey M with a night for himself. 3-3 2 doubles and an RBI Eloy is just fantastic. He WILL be the number 1 prospect with Kopech not far behind. I really feel like Eloy will be the best of all the Sox prospects (Hahn did really well with this first part of the rebuild).

thxfrthmmrs Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Outside of the top prospects, it's good to see Bernardo Flores settling down after a rough start at High A. With a strong finish to the year, maybe he joins Hansen and Dunning to start the year at AA next season? Trey M is quietly creeping back up to .240. Still young enough to be relevant.

SoxAce Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Alex Destino has one sexy OBP. 21 years old. Will probably be in Kanny with Dedelow next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 10, 2017 -> 06:32 PM) Gillaspie 2.0 starting to get some hits lately. He ripped one to the warning track in deep center in his last at bat, too. The game was ugly overall, but some dudes are hitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably be in Kanny with Dedelow next year. Gonna be a crowded outfield. Robert, Dedelow, & probably Gonzalez as the three main guys. Still hoping that Mercedes finds a way to get an everyday role as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Ramon Beltre with a HR. He may be the best prospect in the system no one has ever heard of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may be the best prospect in the system no one has ever heard of. I've cited Beltre in the past. Have no idea why he stayed in DSL that long. If he had any kind of power as a 3B prospect, he'd be up there. Sox have had him play some 2B too recently. Hopefully the frame fills out a bit more.

I've also followed ex-DSL guys like Beltre, Feliz, and Perez for a few years now. All good bats but not haven't developed any power yet. With Beltre, if he has a good glove, he could be a Carlos Sanchez type player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zavala has really performed well this year and deserves to be in our top 30 prospects for sure. I certainly view him as being a better prospect than Skoug. There can't be many catchers in the minors putting up the numbers he has this season (19 home runs, .878 OPS). If his defense is passable he could be a backup option at a minimum for us moving forward? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
