southsider2k5 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 MDGonzales Mark Gonzales champ and Curt Hasler were sharing roving pitching duties prior to these promotions. Bell's input has been highly regarded from the Chairman's office to the dugout, Capra in tune with the farm system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Nothing like giving guys promotions for the fine job they are doing overseeing what some call the worst farm system in baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jan 23, 2012 -> 07:16 PM) Nothing like giving guys promotions for the fine job they are doing overseeing what some call the worst farm system in baseball. Are you really go to blame him for our organization's poor scouting, refusal to go above slot, and complete lack of a Latin presence? I think it's still too early to evaluate him properly. He's simply not had enough talent to work with during his time here. One thing I like about him is that he actually pushes prospects. Guys that perform well are much more likely to moved to the next level mid-season than under the previous regime. I also think he does a better job of challening older pospects by putting them in more age appropriate leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 What could/should Bell have done? Gone out with his own personal checkbook and scoured the Dominican? We've brought Santos, Sale, Beckham, Morel, Lillibridge, Viciedo, Reed, DeAza, Axelrod, Kuhn, Flowers, etc., to the majors under his tenure. Guess I have to be willing to overlook Teahen, that was one big miss on his part, advocating for that particular deal. That's the goal of a minor league system...to promote its players internally and/or trade them for major league ready players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Bell has been pretty average everywhere he has been. not sure what jumps off his resume as a confirmation that Sox fans should be he is the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
