flavum Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 15, 2014 -> 09:23 PM) Why is Basto there again? Because Ravelo wanted to play winter ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 15, 2014 -> 09:23 PM) Why is Basto there again? Replaced Ravelo. Basto did play well this last season. Just needs to find a position on the field, and play at least average there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Montas: 3IP, 4 H, 2BB, 3K on 62 pitches. Bassitt pitching now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2nd_city_saint787 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Bassitt went 2.2 giving up a hit and his 1st walk while striking out 4. 10/1 K/BB, 5 hits, in 7 innings so far. He's been impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been impressive. this is indeed very good news. esp the fact no earned runs. btw Anderson beside his error the other day, how has he done since re: fielding?

As much as I like Bassitt as a potential starter moving forward, I think using him out of the bullpen could prove to be a fantastic move for the Sox long term.

What he wants doesn't and can't dictate what he does. And he'd tell you that. 2. The White Sox often put likely relievers into starting rotations for a season or two, for a few reasons. One, getting in more innings allows them to develop faster and go from thrower to pitcher. Two, on occasion, guys like that end up succeeding at it (as is the case with Bassitt), and boom, you have another starting prospect.

flavum Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I think the Glendale game is free video tonight. Of course that means no White Sox prospects will play, probably. http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/7617858/v3680...dogs-at-rafters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you'll probably get those two tonight, FWIW, at least. Also seems likely at least one of Anderson/Basto should play again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already hate it, but I'm glad they'll find out how stupid it is in the AFL, and not in March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 How fast can Bassit get it up there out of the bullpen? If he can top out at 97 or so he could be a great bullpen piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Related to number two, whether that pitcher can hone the change, curve/slider to the point where he has two plus or at least three legit "out" pitches in his arsenal...this is what the White Sox went through with Jake Petricka, for example. You can get by with two as a starter (see Colon or Contreras with the FB/forkball combination), but it's pretty darned rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) Pretty soon, they're just going to have to get Anderson's bat and athleticism into the MLB line-up. His ultimate defensive position is becoming secondary, although of course they would love for it to be SS and not 2B/OF. If Micah and Anderson can BOTH stick as infielders, that gives you an incredible amount of excitement up the middle. And Semien at 3B with Conor, that's a potentially very interesting core. In the end, Sanchez will probably fall to the wayside as the utility guy/Joe McEwing/Oquendo with Semien also playing all over the place.
