But what is it? Did he not develop the relationships, or just shitty at scouting talent? (Or we just can't develop talent that raw...?)

Seems to be everything really, from who they target, glaring lack of development, leaving $ on the table in multiple classes. Their strategy of throwing the majority of the pool $ at "advanced" Cuban players didn't work, and we know they don't play in the deep end for the high end teenage talent either. I will say that Paddy definitely helped bring the department back from the depths of hell post-scandal.

It’s really sad how we haven’t developed a key player since Ordonez and Lee. No other organization in the last 20 plus years comes close to it except maybe Baltimore but that has changed quickly in such short period with Elias putting the resources in the international spending and development.

Zach Franklin is a righthanded reliever in the White Sox system with a low-three quarters, almost sidearm slot, creating a difficult plane of approach for hitters to get flush barrel contact against. He has worked exclusively out of the Winston-Salem bullpen this season and has generated a ton of whiffs against his fastball. The pitch matches above-average vertical break from a 69.7 inch release height with a high rate of spin efficiency. These elements combined with mid-90s velocity allow the pitch to really play up.

Didn’t know where to put this, but since the 4th of July (80 PA sample) Bryan Ramos has been on fire:

  • 133 wRC+ | 12.5% BB rate | 15.0% K rate | .258 ISO | .280 BABIP

Kid doesn’t turn 23 until next March.  This minor league season has been incredibly tough on the positional side, but it’s probably important to remind ourselves that him and Montgomery are super young for AAA and could in theory do another full season there and still reach the majors as fresh 24 year old’s.

Elko's college numbers, while not at Vaughn's 1200-1300 OPS level, were certainly the equal of early round picks Burger and  Sheets.  That he Elko was drafted so low suggests that there was something "missing" (bat speed?  just guessing).  Any idea whether what was missing has been found and whether he's a legit prospect or a AAAA guy?

He was drafted low because he was hurt and came back as a senior. Was like 23 already on draft day.

Guess we will find out next year? At least I hope.

Because all college stats aren't equal.  Age, school, conference etc matter, as well as advanced metrics of what they are hitting.

Excellent thread on Quero below. I recommend reading it in full, but the main takeaways:

  • He's made a swing adjustment to lift and pull more, leading to both better results (HR, SLG) and also underlying metrics (EV, HH%, HR/FB%)
  • He's producing as well as he has despite being younger than the opposing pitcher for a ridiculous 98.5% of his pro ABs

mlbexecutiveburner says now that Skenes graduated Noah Schultz is top pitching prospect in baseball and it's not even close.

I knew @WhiteSox2023 was Chris Getz all along!

Yes!!!  I got ripped for saying the Sox should claim the guy since he was DFA a couple times and sucked in the minors this year.  But I guess he won’t cost a 40-man roster spot now.  Either way, he was pretty good before this year and is still somewhat young.  He’s actually 8 months younger than Zach DeLoach.  Worth a try.

Bro, what did you copy?

I’m tripping balls looking at caufield’s post.

Anyone else think Quero should be ranked higher than Montgomery at this point?  .400 OBP as a catcher that hits for average and power?

I am curious how much the back is still bothering Monty.  If that is the reason he can't hit fastballs, he is a totally different prospect if he is a guy who just can't hit fastballs.
