chitownsportsfan Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Micker continues to hit, and ends the year in AAA and makes it in the back end of some top 100 lists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxJon Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Mar 29, 2018 -> 11:04 AM) From all accounts he was crazy about her. Fell right in line with his 2 bad ST starts afterwards. Gonna be interesting to see how his mindset is at the beginning of the year throughout. They're still together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxJon Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Bold predictions: Luis Robert absolutely rakes upon return and is in the OD roster discussion for 2019 Cease takes a significant jump forward Rutherford begins to bust with low contact rates and no power Kopech is up by July latest Jimenez up in September after destroying AAA after his June promotion Basabe becomes a Top 100 prospect by season's end Fulmer and Lopez both struggle early but settle down toward's the summer and put together solid seasons Brice Turang is taken 4th overall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam8610 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 I don't consider Eloy and Kopech getting to and performing well in MLB to be "bold" predictions, so... Luis Robert takes the 2017 Ronald Acuna development path. Alec Hansen spends most of the year at AA, dominates in a September callup, and is slotted into the 2019 rotation. Seby Zavala continues to hit and establishes himself as a top 100 prospect and legitimate starting C prospect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananarchy Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 29, 2018 -> 10:56 AM) Tilson stays healthy enough to platoon in CF and steal 15 bases this season. This guy gets the bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also mixed reports on his defense, and some scouts believe he can project to SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Replacement Level Poster Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Mar 29, 2018 -> 09:36 AM) Ian Hamilton has a big year and finishes the season in the White Sox bullpen. Collins fixes the hitch in his swing and puts himself back on the map this season with a great year at the plate. +1 I’m high on Hamilton as well. I think one of the more under looked but promising aspects of the Hahn era is how recently they have started targeting raw particularly collegiate arms with plus fastballs in hopes of building organizational depth in the bullpen and throughout the organization. Hopefully this works out and it is a trend we are out in front of, and we all know the value of these power bullpen arms come trade deadline. I also think Thadius Lowry is a possible conversion to relief. I remember when they drafted him they liked his arm strength. He has started for a few years and the results have been underwhelming. Might be time to see what he can do in new role as well where he focuses on fastball and a hard secondary offering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No on Robert, no on Collins 25 bombs, but a huge success on Cease and Collins did clear the .370 OBP with a sexy .382. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bold prediction there. I'll also say Kopech starts off pretty slow cause of his recent breakup with his now ex reality star girlfriend and Soxtalk freaks out for a couple of months. Oh.. and Basabe puts himself right back on the map in our system. Yes, and yes.

Uhhh...yes, exactly. Nailed all of them, except Sox finishing top 15 in runs scored. BUT, you did say "league", so the Sox finishing 13th out of 15 in the American LEAGUE is top 15. Congrats! Sox hitters led the league in Ks, pitcher's led in walks. I would say the bullpen found a few surprises again. Statcast said the Sox were the 2nd fastest team this year, and ended up 7th in SB.

Obviously not called up, but he DID end up with a .355 AVG, so that's worth noting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
