Didn’t realize Quinteiro got promoted but makes sense given age and production in short-season ball.
He just went to the Barons to fill in when Madrigal was gone for a couple days for the Futures Game.

I heard a story about this from Jack Morris when he was interviewed as a Twin one time. Jack was in the bullpen when the 1st game was ending. He said that the smell of pot in the air was as thick as he had been around. Fans were really getting into the entire evening.
Also, a buddy of mine was in the upper deck, he did not participate on the field. Not sure this is true or not, but he said when fans stormed the field that there were some kids who slid down the foul pole from the upper deck to 1st deck and then hopped onto the field.

Is it just my imagination, or has Medeiros been pitching well lately?
I believe his ERA is possibly under 2.00 since he moved to the pen about 18-20 innings ago.

Dawkins was HBP and removed from the game for a pinch runner.

Can someone help me understand how Victor Torres has signed, but also tweeted out this today....??
Is it possible that FutureSox and I are both following the wrong prep Puerto-Rican baseball player named Victor Torres?This kid I think played at Holyoke JC and is going on to Fisher College, he is a CF. The kid we drafted is a C from Puerto Rico.

Luis Rodriguez just was moved from DSL to AZL today. We have done it with others, not often, but it is done.

7 wins in a row now for the DSL White Sox. Nice pitching today, a new guy went 1 inning and then Mola pitched well. That Laureano kid seems to get a couple hits every game.

DSL Sox up 2-1 and are batting in bottom of 7th. So much more competitive this season, nice to see.

So Jefferson Mendoza was our main 2017 J2 signing. He is repeating DSL which isn’t a great sign but was supposedly an advanced game caller at 16 with a good defensive reputation.
he was 4-5 with two doubles and two homers yesterday, and you just rarely see homers in DSL. He’s hitting .452 now.
1-2 with an RBI today thus far

What happened to Rigo Fernandez, had a good first season last year, real bad thus far this year.
-
He has not been off the Injured List all that long, could be part of the reason.

So Harold Diaz, Jose Rodriguez, Jerrick Francees and Sydney Pimentel might all be on AZL roster then it seems.
I thought I read somewhere that Francees was in extended spring training, 1B Reyes is as well. Seems like there were a handful.

I just noticed that former Sox farmhand, Rangel Ravelo, has surfaced with the Cardinals. He was sent away in the Shark trade that included Semien, and others.
He could always hit.
Lifetime .301 average in the minors. Took a pitch on the hand when he made it up to the A's one season and that set him back big time. I always liked his bat too, they now have Ravelo and Martinez (who also could just plain hit when we had him). Took both of them quite a while to make it, good to see it.

Rick Ankiel is a weird, weird fucking story.
Yes he was. He was the other one I thought of but could not come up with a name.

Will he end the year as a Top 10 org. prospect?
Don't get it, what the fuck
It happens. Read an article on Steve Blass sometime. All Star pitcher for Pirates, all of a sudden could not throw strikes anymore. Seems like the Cardinals had one.

Wouldn’t he have already been on the 40?
I believe he was on 60-day IL, if so then he was exempt from 40 man roster count, so they need to add him back to 40-man.

Winston-Salem DH cancelled for today again.

Yup pretty crazy. Essentially 4 double headers tomorrow, though Charlotte's game will resuming a suspended game from tonight.
Barons are in Mobile, still Alabama so what you said still goes. This is the one drawback about having all your minor league teams close to each other to make it easier for travel when promotions/demotions occur. Less cost to the org. But when one gets rained out you damn well be ready to have 2 or 3 rainouts. Not sure I have seen all 4, probably over all these years I have just do not recall it.

Coffey was decent enough in rookie ball last year. Wonder why the released him.
He was pretty decent at Univ. of Minnesota too. Thought he would get a couple years at the least.

There were two players released off Great Falls roster. Micah Coffey, Infielder and Michael Deeb, a 1Bman.
The AZL White Sox released 3 pitchers, Edinxon Arias, Jordis Ramos and Bryan Lara. Catcher Jose Colina and Inf Jimmy Galuskey were also released.

The DSL team is 2-2. Isn't that close to last years win total? I remember their record was terrible.
18-54 last year. Here is a link to their record since 2010. Last year was the worst by far.

DSL used to have a gameday person and that was nice and hilarious.
My favorite part of DSL is how often runs score with no hits being recorded. Either insane errors or walks galore.
Mola gave up 1 run today in 3 innings of relief. No walks, no hits. I thought, what the hell, looked for HBP, none. Turns out he struck out the first batter and the kid made it to first on a WP. Steals 2nd. 3rd on another WP and then scored on a ground out. 1 Earned run.

DeBusschere wasn't part of that situation.
April 8, 1963 – On this date, one of the biggest ‘what if’s’ in franchise history took place. As per the rules at the time, the White Sox had to choose between two pitchers signed to ‘bonus baby’ contracts. The rules stated that only one player signed to a deal for over a certain amount of money could remain in the organization. The other would have to be waived.
With that in mind rookies Bruce Howard and Denny McLain squared off in an intra-squad game to see who would be released and who got promoted to Double A Lynchburg. Howard won 2-1. McLain got his walking papers and was claimed by Detroit the following week. He’d go on to win 131 big league games including 31 in 1968.
And here is from my interview with Sox announcer Milo Hamilton:
ML: One of the oddities about that season took place in spring training on April 8 when two youngsters, Bruce Howard and Denny McLain had a ‘pitch-off’ to determine who would stay in the organization and get promoted to Double-A. Do you remember anything about that game or about McLain in general when he was with the White Sox. (Author’s Note: Howard would win the game 2-1 and get promoted to Lynchburg, Virginia. Because of baseball rules at the time concerning bonus babies, McLain had to be released. He was claimed by the Tigers a week later.)
MH: “Well the pitch-off was only part of the reason the Sox let him go. He was a cocky kid. His high school used to get tickets to Sox games and I can still remember him sitting by the dugout yelling “I can beat those guys.” He was hard to handle and his attitude was something that Al Lopez (Author’s Note: White Sox manager) and the organization just wasn’t going to put up with. In spring training he ran up a 700 hundred dollar phone bill talking to his girlfriend and he refused to pay it.”
“Howard was a clean cut kid. Never gave anyone any trouble. Unfortunately he didn’t turn out to be much of a pitcher and in that respect you have to give McLain his due, he turned into a great pitcher. I mean he won 30 games one season.”
Thanks. Thought I had read long ago that they had 3 young pitchers to protect and only had 2 slots.

DSL Sox now 20-17 after a 6-5 come from behind win. Nice relief for Veloz and Perez.
