Dan Johnson homer, Mitchell was 1/3 and exactly at .300 still, Phegley continues to rake, 2/4 with a double and an RBI, at .373

 

Brady Shoemaker pushing for a promotion, 2/4 with a double and hitting .345

He faced some dude named Sugar Ray Marimon in that game, great nickname.

K. Smith 1/3, Ravelo 1/4 and just under .400 now

Can he stick at 3B? Fielding stats look a little rough, but that doesn't tell the whole story in the low minors of course.

7. Rangel Ravelo, 3B 04/24/1992 H: 6’2” W: 210 - (Nathaniel’s take) Rangel Ravelo is another product of the White Sox’s strong 2010 draft, as he was their sixth-round selection. Ravelo utilizes a short, compact swing that allowed him to hit for average in both the Rookie-level Appalachian League (.384) and the Low-A South Atlantic League (.317), figures made even more impressive when considering he was just 19 years old. He’s also more polished defensively than most young third basemen, fielding a combined .942 in 2011. He did not hit a homer in 63 games, but his size and the leverage in his swing indicate that more power should come. Ravelo remains under the radar, but he’s a very polished hitter for his age. He shows an impressive knack for contact; the big question is whether he’ll develop close to average power once he settles into pro ball. He’s an intriguing sleeper prospect, which is one thing this system does not lack.

 

Our Instinct: Ravelo may have been over looked if it wasn’t for the fact that scouts flocked to Hialeah High School in Florida to see team-mate and fellow 2010 draft pick Manny Machado, who went #3 over all. I’m curious about the lack of power. His .063 ISoP suggests he’s more of a singles hitter. I’m also curious about him filling out his frame like I keep hearing about. He’s still 6’2″ and has put all of 3 pounds on in the past 18 months. Still, he’s a polished hitter and will find a place to play if he keeps hitting. Here’s the catch though; if the power doesn’t develop he’s a good bet to stay at 3B, which isn’t what you want to hear. If his power does develop, he will most likely have to shift to 1B due to diminished range. So he better hit for a high average or start crankin’ um out of the park.

Look at Phegley. Great season going.

 

I have a good feeling about Quintana. Can't have enough good lefty pitching.

Phegley is very intriguing because we really don't know what we have in him due to his health problems. He was always supposed to be a talented hitter and maybe we're finally seeing that. No matter what, very promising start for a guy may be in the catching mix next year.

 

Also, what's the story on Quintana? Why was he cut by both the Mets & Yankees? There's got to be some personal issues, because he had a pretty nice 2011. So far, this looks like another great low-profile move by KW.
