southsider2k5 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 http://meadowparty.com/blog/2017/10/05/klawchat-10517/ Joe: Keith, what do you make of Blake Rutherford? I know to not write him off, but it is mind-boggling that a kid of his talent and pedigree put up the kind of line in low-A. Keith Law: Same. And the swing is fine. But the ball just didn’t come off his bat well this year – poor exit velo, no power, didn’t even sound that great (I saw him the day before he was traded). \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Some new tidbits from an article today, White Sox bias edition: The White Sox aren't worried about his modest power production in 2017. They still see a player with the size (6-foot-3, 195 pounds), strength, bat speed and left-handed stroke to do plenty of damage at the plate once he's fully developed. Rather than make any major changes with him in instructional league, they're just emphasizing fundamentals such as staying balanced at the plate and maintaining a proper swing path. "Blake can hit the ball very hard," White Sox farm director Chris Getz said. "He uses the whole field. Over time, he'll get a better feel of what pitches he's capable of driving. It may take a couple of years. It's not something that is going to change in a couple of weeks. "We like where he's at. Physically, he's a good-sized kid. He's got strength all through his body, a smooth stroke, a high baseball IQ. He's going to be able to do some things." http://m.whitesox.mlb.com/news/article/257...opicId=27118146 Also includes some nice little pieces on Cease.

knightni Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 25 now. Hitting much better in Charlotte this year, but not really part of the roster numbers game in Chicago, with so many other guys with better potential and experience, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
