caulfield12 Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 Thorpe about to fall under a 1.00 ERA. Unreal. He'll be up at AAA soon unless they want him to stay all the way through the Southern League All-Star game...enjoy some accolades/success before moving up to the bandbox. And with Sox pitchers, might be better just to send them directly from BIRM because Charlotte might as well be Colorado. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people were saying it's only been a month or whatever but with an ERA south of 1, he's obviously not being challenged at this level. I dont think we have a sample size issue anymore. Dude has killed it in almost every start. Charlotte is a band box but it will be a good challenge and he needs to be challenged. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting clay to mold with him, not that I'd trust the Sox to mold it into anything good. Colson is looking like he's ready. Give him another 150 PA in AAA and bring him up in late June.

Also, better hope Brad Keller isn't allowed to hang around by the time Wolkow hopefully reaches the majors. He'll kill him for that flip. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have the Sox ever had a pitching prospect with this type of success in the minor leagues? I can’t recall one with this type of success (minor league pitcher of the year one year with a chance to repeat the next year). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good examples but it seems Thorpe is on another level right now. At least these guys (McCarthy, Hudson, Rauch) were all quality mlb pitchers so that bodes well for Thorpe I’d think.

The Sox developing any raw position player into someone who churns out 4 seasons as an above-average regular (2+ WAR) is unimaginable to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
