He’ll be up at some point this year, but might as well give him half a season in AA or AAA before doing so. Has been McGough been optioned to minor league camp? Who else hasn’t received a fair shot? Expand Garrett Schonele and Adisyn Coffey . .The pitching coach who left in AA spoke very highly of them and the Sox do promote pitching from AA and they're both already 26. They should've at least got invited to camp . They had great seasons in 2024 along with Pallette and McGough. Coffey actually pitched most of his innings in AAA .Schonele got 3 innings in AAA no earned runs.

WestEddy Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Andrew Benintendi took swings in cage this morning and "felt really good," Venable said. Scan on broken bone this week in hand was good. "We feel confident that he’s in a good spot to progress."

Chicago White Sox Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Meidroth remains the favorite to be our Opening Day SS. I went to DraftKings earlier this week and he is not a betting option for AL ROY.

I’d still start him in Charlotte because there is little harm in giving him a few more months of minor league seasoning, but I feel like he’d be a real threat in the AL for ROY if a mostly full season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vilehoopster Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I don't understand people suggesting this or that lineup or infield and everyone seems to keep leaving Sosa out of the lineup. He's cooled off lately, but he was/ is one of the Sox's best bats in spring training, and that's coming off his great September where he seemed to really figure things out at the plate. I really think he's got to play and have his at bats. Also, I don't start to understand this, "Play Amaya at short until Colson is ready" thing? Amaya is terrible offensively; I'm angry he's still getting ST at bats. He's Maldonado 2.0: a complete dead bat in the lineup. Why would anyone want to play him? Meidroth is not quite ready yet; I really think he needs to go to AAA for a while and to bond with the others. So, this is the lineup, more or less, that I want to see; let's score some runs! 1st Vaugh 2nd Drury SS Sosa 3rd Vargas Rojas fills in five days a week where he can. At 3rd when Vargas is DH or at 1st, same with Sosa, Drury and so on. That's 70 to 80 home runs next year from your infield. Again, let's score some runs. When whoever is ready to come up at the trade deadline, trade Drury, hopefully he'll have 12 or so home runs with less strikeouts and be this year's DeJong. Outfield: Benintendi, Robert (let him prove he can stay healthy and get some real value at the trade deadline), and I have no idea in right. There's nothing in right as a option that I start to like, some lefty/ righty platoon. With Benintendi and Robert (full season, maybe traded), that's another 50 home runs. Now, what I would like to see is all the youngsters stay down in AAA and have success and bond. Then I say bring them all up together in late July: Meidroth, Colson, the cacthers and the two lefty pitchers a little bit later in August. But basically bring them up as a group and work them in full time into September. Well, I'm tired typing, but that is what I would like to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 The only way to get a draft pick for someone winning ROY is if they’re in 2/3 top 100 lists like BA, pipeline and ESPN. Shane Smith and Meidroth wouldn’t qualify 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
