Chicago White Sox Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 15 hours ago, Timmy U said: Sox now have one remaining player from their first 6 picks in the 2018 draft -- Stiever, who was shelled again tonight. Hope remains for Bilous, Davis Martin, Luke Schilling, Romy Gonzalez, Lane Ramsey, and I guess Cabera Weaver, but he hasn't shown much yet. That’s really interesting. We basically got 1.2 years of Kimbrel, 1.2 years of Hernandez, 1.0 years of Mazara, plus whatever Stiever gives us out of the first six rounds. Not sure how to think of it when viewed through that lens, but at least there are some other guys like you mentioned where hope remains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wegner Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I am happy that the Sox did not end up trading any of the young pitchers yet. It would have been selling low and I'm still excited about their upside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Nice validation for some performances that felt like they stood out. Mentioned it a few times, but sosas numbers since 6/1 are excellent and consistent. Seems like since he adjusted he’s taken off. AA is tough and Kanny was tough for him, so if he hits the ground running that’s encouraging but not necessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I have to mention this. Spencer Torkelson had himself a day yesterday. In a doubleheader, he went 7 for 7 with 3 HRs and 17 total bases. Lordy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a good result, but he is 21 playing against 16-19 year old Domenican guys. He really shouldn't be in that league but in full season low A ball.

I was just stating that the DSL is not really appropriate to his skill and experience level. But it is still throwing some innings under somewhat competitive circumstances so it is better than nothing. The real test will be next year though.

Yeah but he is young for AAA. Being old for a draft class is a negative predictor and model based drafting teams do target young guys but if you are really powerful already as a HS player it might not matter so much.

It’s very disappointing, I wasn’t expecting a lot from any of the prep arms from the 2020 draft coming after a year with no minors but it’s very disappointing. Considering that he’s a $3M player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
