Chicago White Sox Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Adams & Lambert on the mound tonight. Hopefully Adams can right the ship and Lambert can keep going strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Adolfo is just a completely different hitter this year. Had an excellent 10 pitch at-bat where he started off 0-2 and was able to work a walk. He’s simply way more selective this year and that goes well beyond his career BB high rate this year. This kid has a chance to be a poor man’s Eloy if all goes well IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 If Adolfo has Tommy John in September, when is he ready to play again as an outfielder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, but I thought I read the recovery process would be about 8 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saladino had TJ surgery right around August 1 in 2014. I believe he was ready for opening day. I would expect a similar timetable with Adolfo.

BamaDoc Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I wonder if he has to have the surgery, if he would be able to dh prior to playing the field? Same concept as now but in reverse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 424 ft to center on Eloy's bomb: Sounds like he got jammed honestly. He's got so much power in that damn bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScootsMcGoots Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I'd bet money that by May 20 one of either Rutherford or Basabe is called up to AA and Eloy is pushed to AAA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Eloy, Collins, & Seby all could end the night with wRC+'s above 160. Not too shabby considering they play half their games in Birmingham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better not be Rutherford. I’m happy with his performance so far, but he’s not showing the power or plate discipline to earn a promotion anytime soon IMO.

Basabe has certainly earned a promotion at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Another fantastic start for Lambert. 6 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 1 HR, 7 K, 1 BB, 63/95 strikes. Stats wise the kid is making a strong case to be the next best pitching prospect after the big four in Kopech, Hansen, Dunning, & Cease. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Trey Michalczewski has been pretty good so far this year, his K rate is high though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guerrero and Adams are falling off the map. McClure or Henzman are more likely to end up as relievers, from everything out there in the media.

chitownsportsfan Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I'm loving this Lampert guy. A lot of guys forcing the issue right now. Great to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Lambert isn't much of a high upside pitcher with the word "pitchability" thrown around multiple times during the MLB.com draft live stream. Low 90s fastball with good command of all three pitches, but nothing that stands out. As a junior this season he had a 3.13 ERA, 78 K, 19 BB in 97.2 IP. Was a first-team All-Mountain West pick this season. http://www.chicagonow.com/future-sox/2016/06/2016-futuresox-draft-tracker/ It's quite fun to look back at guys (draft day reports) like Lambert without "dominant/ace" stuff but who are merely effective...

Coming into the season it was one of Stephens, Adams, & Guerrero. A lot of people were optimistic about Clarkin and Flores had his fans too. Having said that, Lambert, McClure, & Henzman have been the most impressive this year in that next tier, but I’d give it to Jimmy out of those three given he’s a level above the other two. Don’t know much about the stuff, but NorthSide did say his velocity jumped up a few ticks which makes me wonder if he really might be someone to follow going forward.

chitownsportsfan Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Goodness, WS had 19 hits tonight. Ti'Quan Forbes is holding his own down there, improving his K/BB rate massively and his slash line, although he's still only at a 688 OPS. He's got a long ways to go but he's got time, as he doesn't turn 22 until late August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
