Currently not better than Jordan Sprinkle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalChiSox Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Great for Wolkow to get his feet wet in Low A, but as a 17 year old I'd expect him to struggle there for awhile. He will prolly be there all next season. Nastrini and Ramos should be promoted to AAA. Montgomery looks like he's on track to be with the big club early to middle next season and Quero might be by the end of next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there’s a good chance that Montgromery is up by June/after whenever the team gets an extra year or control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I hope they're not pushing him just to f*** with other teams prospect models. That would be really bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put in all the scouting reports, stats, metrics etc. The players age and level are heavily weighted so what some teams will do is promote young players to levels they may not be read for just to make him look better in models. A 17 yr old in low A should light the models on fire. I have no idea what a 17 yr old in AA does to the models. Salas is 7.4 yrs younger than the avg player. The model may just shut itself down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. What do they gain by screwing with prospect evaluation models? Just trying to understand the point. Though understanding the point is often difficult with this organization.

Utimately I think the goal is to make the player look better on internal reports or for potential trades. Sometimes they just like fucking with each other. These geeks can be c***y that way. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Great. I hope Burrowes and Ronny Hernandez at least get their feet wet. I hate to be the guy super-down on Jacob Gonzalez, but I want to see what Burrowes can do in the same environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like pitching in the launching pad to teach a pitcher the importance of throwing strikes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autumn Dreamin Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 So the Barons 6 man rotation is cut down to 4...does someone from WS get promoted? Carela is R5 this year, so maybe they want to push him a bit? Last start was pretty unfortunate, but he's got over 100 innings at A+ this season (3.62ERA, 10.7 K/9). Adams has only made 3 starts in Winston, but they've been stellar and he's older... Or I guess they can just slot Schoenle or someone back in, but that would be less fun.

MnSoxFan Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Barons still have 5 starters as Mena was sent back down from AAA. Mena, Thompson, Cannon, Eder and Bush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
