DirtySox Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I have no information, but I figured the writing was on the wall when he went on the IL with an elbow issue and was replaced as an all-star game selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Man that blows for him and for us. This org either has their prospects playing pretty good or they're seriously injured. There is no in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good health hasn't translated to on the field performance for those guys though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meant to type the top guys since Lambert is probably our second best pitching prospect after Cease currently (not counting the high school kids just yet) but FYI, Rutherford has played very well recently. Sheets has shown more power this year than he has his entire minor league career. Gonzalez has had some bad luck, but has not been overmatched at all in AA and is probably our second best OF prospect after Robert (Basabe hasn't been quite right post surgery).

The Sox really need one of the prep pitchers taken early this year to turn into a legit guy. Pitching depth is rail thin in the minors. Also, Rutherford has an OPS=589, Sheets=676, and Gonzalez=625. These guys are heading towards non-prospect status with a bullet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 3 of those guys started off horrendous but have started to turn it around recently. While those numbers aren't good they are dramatically better than how they started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the overall numbers but the progress they make throughout the season. Most prospects take time to adjust to the level. They are there to learn and improve. They do it at individual rates. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Yikes. Lambert will be nearly 26 years old when he returns from TJS (if thats where he is headed). That is no bueno for a guy that hasn't eclipsed AA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't implying that the Sox had a choice in picking a Lambert brother. The Sox did have a first rounder in 2015 though. Maybe they could have sent Fulmer to Colorado for the lil Lambert somewhere down the line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 If this is true, you got to start wondering if we’re doing something wrong on the development side that’s resulting in all these injuries. This is starting to get crazy at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
