Capn12 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Watching Winston Salem tonight here in Greenville. Bailey Horn in his first start, got rocked. Only got 1 out, and even that one was hard hit. Cespedes K’d in his first AB. 0.1 IP, 5 H, 7 ER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Cespedes AB #2 was a HR about 20 feet over the top of the left field ‘Green Monster’….wow. between the window rows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 TiQuan Forbes man, hitting .300 with an .815 OPS after a homer. Not sure he has enough power for the corners, but this is impressive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure he has enough power for the corners, but this is impressive. They've been playing him at 2B the last 5 games. Will be interesting to see if he can stick there. I would love to see how his numbers would look in AAA. I can see him being a trade piece for a guy like Escobar or a reliever. We got him straight up for Miguel Gonzalez a few years ago. He's definitely boosted his value since then. If he can stick at 2nd, that would be even better. I believe he will require a 40-man spot next year, though.

Chicago White Sox Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Whenever they move Cespedes up to AA, they should do the same for Yogurt. He’s 24 years old and has hit decent enough for a glove first guy to make the move. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So weird how expensive he was, wouldn't be against moving him if necessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So weird how expensive he was, wouldn't be against moving him if necessary I haven’t seen him play, but the reports I read suggested he’s a strong up-the-middle defender with questionable offensive abilities so I’d say yes. It sounds like he has some decent physical tools, so maybe there is chance he develops into more? Again, being 24 in Low A doesn’t make me overly optimistic and there were some rumors that he showed up to camp out of shape (not sure if those were true or not). Regardless, at some point we need to get aggressive with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall anyone talking about Semien as a utility guy, as much as a guy who couldn't field to save his life. Granted there were plenty of people who talked about moving him around because of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 The bull case for Sanchez is he’s offensively gotten better as he’s moved up. But him showing up fat and out of shape to ST really made me dislike him. But need to be open minded on how last year effected different people.

raBBit Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Harvin Mendoza handling Kanny after struggling at Winston Salem to start the year. Hitting .297/.387/.440/.826 with 18/13 K/BB and a .338 BABIP in 106 PAs in Kanny. Mendoza went .107/.298/.234 in 57 PA's with W-S. Walked 14% of the time with a 15.8% K rate. BABIP was only .184. He's 22 and no one of substance is blocking him at W-S. Probably time for another go around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Internal and external evaluators saw a player who'd gotten thicker during the shutdown, lacked an approach at the plate and showed a willingness to chase. Scouts also saw a player who will not be able to stick at shortstop because of below-average speed and fringy arm strength. The White Sox are optimistic he'll be able to regain some of what they saw when they signed him once he gets more consistent reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
