With Romy, Adolfo, Sheets, and Burger, interesting hitting at Charlotte. Too bad there’s no pitching.

It's curious following the minor leagues solely through the lens of the major leagues.   It honestly doesn't matter to me if the combined minor leagues lose every night as long as they produce three or four interesting pieces to add to the White Sox or use as trade pieces.   I think that is where we are at right now...the major league roster is so young and talented that it doesn't matter that you have hundreds of pretty good minor league players that will help Kannapolis win 60% of their games.  You want potential stars to add to our existing galaxy.  You say it's too bad they have no pitching...yet Gio-26, Cease-25, Kopech-25, Crochett-22 should be in your starting staff for five years.  What you need is to see the high school kids slowly developing so you have a second wave.  Vera, Thompson, Kelly, Dalquist, Burke and McDougal are all 18-21 with great stuff...we just have to be patient with them as they rise through the system.

Vera got $1.5 million.  If he had taken that bonus as a resident of Chicago Illinois he would have paid about $630k in taxes.  The DR has a $25% tax rate, which works out to about $375k paid in taxes.  By staying there he saved himself a cool quarter million dollars.

Nice catch,  I looked him up...9th round draft pick, signed for $10k.  He had a decent year in college this year.  Age 22.

I wonder if they try to accelerate his development since he looks to be a reliever only guy. And I think they should to capitalize on the longevity of his arm.

Wrong. In the DR foreign-sourced income doesn’t get taxed.
