You gotta show something right away or teams can’t roster you. Hernandez has been a hell of a disappointment. I think Paddy probably needs to go. Expand This is a big deal and something I am very curious to see happen. I am curious to see if Getz makes a move on Paddy. I'm kind of expecting it.

southsider2k5 Posted July 27, 2024 Share Posted July 27, 2024 Way more excitement for Sauke than McLain. Red flag on McLain was his problems with elevated fastball and sub .200 average on velocity in college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted August 5, 2024 Author Share Posted August 5, 2024 (edited) From BA's Risers/Fallers 2024 piece. Colson a faller obviously. Quote Colson Montgomery, SS, White Sox Not many minor league shortstops have a higher on-base percentage than Colson Montgomery does since he turned pro in 2021. His .384 career OBP is remarkable for a 22-year-old at Triple-A. The trouble for Montgomery is that his production at the upper levels has underwhelmed, while some scouts have expressed lingering concerns about his mobility based on the back injury that cut his 2023 season in half. Through 86 games, Montgomery hit .208/.327/.372 with 12 home runs. But all is not lost for Montgomery, whom the White Sox drafted 22nd overall in 2021 following a decorated high school career in Indiana. It has been a season of adjustments for Montgomery at Triple-A, beginning with the automated ball-strike system in the International League. On top of that, he had to contend with opposing pitchers getting back into counts with secondary stuff, something he didn’t see much at Class A. Montgomery also must refine his two-strike approach after Triple-A pitchers have successfully attacked him with high fastballs.

Quin Posted August 7, 2024 Share Posted August 7, 2024 Maybe this moves us one step closer to the DJ Gladney experiment ending. A .234 average in A+ doesn't instill confidence for a move to Birmingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
