Definitely good on Shoemaker, he's been deserving for a while, and I want to see what he does in AA. Gallagher was part of an OF/1B/DH rotation, so now Shoemaker becomes part of that. Not sure I get moving Ross Wilson up though. He's been playing OF lately, but he's been an IF until recently, and he's not exactly crushing the ball in Kanny for a 24 year old repeating it (though he is drawing a lot of walks). Would have thought for sure it would be Haddow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallagher was in Charlotte last year and started there this year. He was in AA because he was struggling in AAA earlier this year.

Would have thought for sure it would be Haddow. Wilson did fine there last year and this year. He didn't really need to repeat the level in the first place. It was time to move him up. Plus with DeMichele moving up Kanny needed to clear out possible second basemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Shoemaker is entering cult status territory. Leo Daigle and David Cook among others had similar resumes and didn't make the bigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo Daigle and David Cook among others had similar resumes and didn't make the bigs. Cook has mystery "off field" issues that, I think, probably held him back (in part). Daigle was a 1B who never had success above A+, and even that was after repeating it thrice. Shoemaker now gets a chance to show something against AA pitching, and I think that will show whether or not he's a prospect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 So it looks like the White Sox were quiet on the first day of international signings. Disappointing, as they said last they were going to be more active in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) So what if it was only the first day? While the BA list is not the end-all, be-all, 14 of the top 20 on their list have already been signed. The longer you wait to dance, the fewer partners available.

If all this signing period is, is an annual bonus cap renewal date... then why would there be a huge rush at the beginning? Furthermore, if before that date you had no cap to face, why was the rush not BEFORE the period? Something doesn't make sense here, I must be misunderstanding something.
