ChiSoxJon Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Love seeing guys that are not thought of often like Remillard and Roman raking, even Michalczewski is off to a great start (about time), only 23 in AA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Rutherford with three doubles today. That’s seven in 47 plate appearances (1 per 6.7). He averaged one every 17.6 plate appearances last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunt Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 01:20 PM) Why do all these highly regarded arms have control issues? Lopez, Kopech, Cease, etc. Velocity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 When do publications start taking Zavala seriously as an offensive prospect? I know he’s somewhat older for a prospect, but the dude has hit at every level. His numbers so far at AA are ridiculous and he’s only improved them today with a 2/3 performance with a 2B. Even if he can’t catch, he may very well have a future at 1B/DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoedairy Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 QUOTE (joejoedairy @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 11:43 AM) Stephens struck out the side in the first. Would be nice to get a good start from him. No Walks, 7 Ks in 6 innings. 4 ER though so his ERA stays above 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxJon Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 9/30 on the MLB Sox Top 30 are currently on the DL What s*** luck Imagine if this system had Robert, Jimenez, Burger, and Curbelo all raking with Hansen and Burdi chucking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 01:36 PM) When do publications start taking Zavala seriously as an offensive prospect? I know he’s somewhat older for a prospect, but the dude has hit at every level. His numbers so far at AA are ridiculous and he’s only improved them today with a 2/3 performance with a 2B. Even if he can’t catch, he may very well have a future at 1B/DH. To be fair, I wouldn't even say Zavala is older for a prospect, as minor league catchers generally are older than the league average anyway.

southsider2k5 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Apr 18, 2018 -> 01:20 PM) Why do all these highly regarded arms have control issues? Lopez, Kopech, Cease, etc. My guess is that guy who can throw that hard are more worried about throwing hard than mechanics and control, so they sacrifice those for speed.

flavum Posted April 19, 2018 Author Share Posted April 19, 2018 Decent start for Roach. Might need him at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 We have reached the point where Winston-Salem starts by Dunning/Cease with the full line-up (and eventually Luis Robert) are more compelling viewing than anything the White Sox will put on the field prior to the arrivals of Kopech and Jimenez.

Lillian Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Were all 3 of Rutherford's doubles, legitimate? Did he hit the ball hard? If so, he is definitely off to a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, he is definitely off to a good start. One definitely was close to being a home run...hit off the wall or single-bounced against it.
