ChiSoxJon Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Decent write up on the '19 Intimidators http://notesfromthesally.com/2019/02/23/previewing-the-2019-kannapolis-intimidators/ Love seeing A ball get coverage, who do we expect to see both with KAN and facing KAN this year? I go to a good amount of Sally League games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Probably the most interesting infield paired with the least interesting outfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect them to open with an infield of Zangari, Curbelo, Nunez, Sosa, and Bush...definitely interesting...Hopefully Walker rakes early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Couple reactions from that article: I hate the idea of Steele Walker starting the season in low A; a 2nd round pick out of college who turns 23 in July and has a strong hit tool should start at High A if we want him on a normal timeline Pilkington sounds like a horrible 3rd round pick based on that write-up; no plus offerings and a limited chance a starting long-term; hopefully Matt’s assessment is closer to the mark and the Sox are expecting a return to form The infield should be loaded with interesting prospects; my guess is we see Zangari at 1B, Nunez at 2B, Sosa at SS, & Curbelo at 3B to start the season; I expect Bush to start in extended but to be called up at some point (likely after a Curbelo promotion) It’s too bad not one of the many J2 OF signings from the 2016 classe has hit the ground running and was able to snag one of these job; other than Walker the rest of the OFs are likely org filler; hopefully we see or two of those guys by 2020 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my thought as well. Rotation has some interest too, but not as interesting as that infield. Bullpen doesn't look very good, though there should be 2-3 live arms worth tracking.

Yeah I rarely have enough attention to lend to the college pitchers selected in the draft when they arrive their first year, In excited to see how stiever does based on your interest and the write up on pilkington and if he can add velo.

Pilkington, Stiever, Bilous, Heuer, Martin, and Sousa all worth attention as well as McClure who should only be there to "rehab" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
