SouthSideGeorgia Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Because everything is so depressing on the MLB team… 2nd round pick in 2020, Jared Kelley has been pretty sporadic in his MiLB career so far. But at Winston Salem, his last 11.2 innings has been scoreless pitching in June. It’s a start at least…. Need some of these high picks to pan out someday. Andrew Dalquist has been deplorable in High A. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 For all the people who say you don’t draft 1B at the top of the draft, those 2 guys being picked was music to their ears. They suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthSideGeorgia Posted June 17, 2023 Author Share Posted June 17, 2023 Starting pitcher Chase Solesky got promoted from AA Birmingham (3-2, 3.23 era). But he was hit hard in his first AAA start last night. Noah Schultz had another 3.0 scoreless innings in Kannapolis (and 7.0 scoreless for the year).

I know it's only low A Kannapolis, but the stats are impressive: 7 IP, O ER, 12 K, 1 BB, 1 Hit, 0.29 WHIP, BA .045. In watching some videos on his outings, he is definitely very lean for his 6'9" frame. I'm hoping with some more weight added and proper weight training, we could see his velocity and movement on his fastball, along with his sharpness on his slider improve even more. I just hope we don't screw him up, because our track record developing pitchers in the minors the last several years is atrocious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it, Jerry Reinsdorf's record of feeding and housing minor league players being paid under minimum wage after MLB bribed Congress to exempt MLB from following minimum wage laws is atrocious. https://theathletic.com/3404269/2022/07/13/white-sox-minor-league-housing Quote They spent half the season at an extended stay hotel that players complained had dirty rooms and lacked food preparation supplies, which led to reliance on fast foo. "I've never seen more athletes eating McDonald's" one player said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kids Can Play Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 Another four pitching prospects besides #1 Schultz all from last year's 2022 draft, I hope can eventually be developed into a major league productive pitchers in a few years are: 1. 22 yr old RH SP Peyton Paulette, 2022 2nd Rd pick and #62 overall at Low A Kannapolis. 10 GS, 31.1 IP, 3.45 ERA, 31 K - Posses a filthy and elite curveball that averages well over 3000 RPM at 80 MPH. 2. 21 yr old RH SP Jonathon Cannon, 2022 3rd Rd pick and #101 overall at High A Winston-Salem 11 GS, 60.1 IP, 2.98 ERA, 53 K - Jonathon has 5 solid pitches with a 60 rating on both his cutter and curveball and 55 on his fastball. 3. 21 yr old LH SP Tyler Schweitzer, 2022 4th Rd pick, #161 overall at Low A Kannapolis. 10 GS, 52.1 IP, 3.78 ERA, 61 K - Has a 55 rating fastball. 4. 21 yr old RH Eric Adler, 2022 6th Rd pick at Low A Kannapolis. 10 G, 9.2 IP, 0.93 ERA, 18 K - 60 rating Fastball, 60 rating curveball and 55 rating Cutter. A smart owner and GM would be wise to make sure they had the top pitching coaches and ex-pitching greats as consultants at the Kannapolis team to ensure the proper successful development. Of course I won't hold my breath on that happening. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted June 17, 2023 Share Posted June 17, 2023 I’ve turned into my dad very quickly. Until the Sox prove they can develop prospects consistently, following the Sox minor league system is a fools errand, much like the ML team. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sadly isn't happening until they eliminate this dysfunctional and inept front office and go out and hire a GM from a successful and proven org that has shown a consistency in building strong farm systems like the Dodgers and Rays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm beginning to think this is more of cause for the era of bubble wrap players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
