caulfield12 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 http://www.csnchicago.com/white-sox/white-...&ocid=yahoo Was at 93-96 already....clearly, he's not going to go North with the major league team...but if he stays healthy, it's quite easy to imagine him making an impact, especially if guys like Petricka, Guerra and Putnam are struggling.

Balta1701 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I'm disappointed that I didn't also read that he's in the best shape of his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 12, 2015 -> 07:42 AM) I'm disappointed that I didn't also read that he's in the best shape of his life. They came sooooo close From 2009 to 2011, Ynoa was limited to three games started by a strained right elbow that led to reconstructive elbow surgery. He returned to the field in 2012 and started in 12 of 14 appearances and made 21 starts the following year (75 2/3 innings) before he suffered a shoulder strain in August 2013. Ynoa appeared in 31 games last season as well, throwing 45 2/3 innings at Single-A Stockton. But Ynoa has looked healthy this spring.

Dick Allen Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Does anyone ever look bad in spring training on the practice field? Just take the encouraging things about Jesse Crain. You would think he has at least a minor shot of being on the opening day roster, but I actually read from some insider non fluff piece, the Sox are "hoping" to get him in a spring training game as some point, so really, if Will Ferrell can play spring training games, Jesse Crain isn't close. Ynoa may be a decent pick up. But until he starts showing how great he looks in games that count, I take all the good reports with a grain of salt. His ERA was over 5.00 in high A last year.

southsider2k5 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 The arm isn't the question for Ynoa, it is keeping his arm attached to his body that is the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Is there some really pressing issue going on that should prevent us during spring training to focus on our lottery ticket players getting a puff piece? I enjoyed article. I can say without a doubt this guy is going to win at least 12 cy youngs and probably run a successful line of work out videos.

There is no reason to be negative in spring training. It's supposed to be a fun time, and personally I love hearing about the improvements that players are making. There are 162 games for us to complain about how bad someone is. Let spring hope be eternal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For real. Go back to my original post and the post you used because you needed to slam me. It made no sense.. Apparently that is just a horrible negative attitude. It's spring training, the only guy you should be negative about, and do it every chance you can get on this site is Gordon Beckham. To say you will take a fluff piece with a grain of salt is the same as telling kids to stay off your lawn. My post: Does anyone ever look bad in spring training on the practice field?
