southsider2k5 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 08:01 PM) Although I am still skeptical of his long-term future as a SS, he seems to have made some significant strides defensively this year even if offensively the same cannot be said. 2014: 81 games, 679.2 innings, 379 chances, 34 errors (.910 FLD%) and 43 DPs. 2015: 84 games, 727.0 innings, 397 chances, 17 errors (.957 FLD%) and 65 DPs. The more repetitions the better for Anderson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie Ball Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jul 20, 2015 -> 02:17 AM) Adams 6IP 3H 1BB 4K And 10 GO/2 FO. Overall the strikeout rate this year has been a little disappointing, but his 1.20 BB/9 is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerksticks Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 QUOTE (Dizzy Sox @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 06:53 PM) Anderson still needs to show more plate discipline, but you have to love his progress over the course of the year: Mo W/K April 1/18 May 4/28 Jun 5/16 Jul 6/14 All while maintaining a .300 BA This is about the most awesome thing posted.

ChiSox_Sonix Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Kennyn Walker's had quite the last 10-12 games or so. He must have raised his BA 50-60 points. He still appears to be a bust but it seems like he's had multiple hits almost every game the past couple weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just pointing out that he seems like he's been on a tear lately. i guess i didn't understand the point being made. i would naturally assume that it was in, i don't know, maybe in connection of bringing him up as a trial.... considering how horrible the major team is doing.

Chisoxfn Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Jul 19, 2015 -> 07:13 PM) And 10 GO/2 FO. Overall the strikeout rate this year has been a little disappointing, but his 1.20 BB/9 is excellent. He also was said to make some adjustments and start buying into what the org was saying pretty recently (based upon Wil's interview with Bautista). I'd say that the arrows are pointed up with Adams and that is a good thing, given how highly everyone thought of him in the off-season.

Chicago White Sox Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 20, 2015 -> 11:38 AM) System has really picked it up. Micah, Montas, Adams, Anderson have all been getting better month-by-month. Next tier has always been improving. Trey's been great since a terrible April. Hawkins got hot this last month and cut down the K's. Arrow is pointing up for sure. Very true and almost what we should have hoped/expected with how aggressive we are with assignments. Having said that, it's hard to feel optimistic when guys are struggling early in the season regardless of age. Let's just hope these guys can keep it up the rest of the way.

As one of our many toolsy OFs, he might still have a chance to be a 4th OF type, which is more than what can be said of the departed Jared Mitchell.

Adams has a much higher ceiling and Danish has a much higher floor. I think the odds of Danish being a major league pitcher are higher, but the chances of one being a star are much higher with Adams. Personally, I would pick Adams out of the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the odds of Danish being a major league pitcher are higher, but the chances of one being a star are much higher with Adams. Personally, I would pick Adams out of the two. Is that just because he's already gotten to a higher level? The impression I've gotten is that Danish also has a pretty low floor since his stuff isn't nearly that overwhelming and he instead relies on control and a deceptive motion. When he struggled a bit at AA people's instant reaction was "oh his deception is just getting figured out at higher levels". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see him having any chance. Walker's a long way away. I'd struggle to even include him among, say, the top 40 guys in the system. Even just with outfielders I can think of 5 or 6 I'd rank ahead of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's because Danish's floor is as a really good RH specialist out of the pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
