NorthSideSox72 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 11:29 AM) Fangraphs today mentioned a Sox catching prospect that I have never heard of before http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/katoh-proje...eper-prospects/ Dowdy is an org soldier. Backup C, gets sent all over the system. Smart guy, decent defensive catcher, handles pitchers well. But he's not a prospect. He's never even been a starter in the minors.

cabiness42 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 I'd say pretty good. I think his start has been a blip, and he will be rocking again in no time. I'm going to see Charlotte play at Louisville that day. Would be cool if he's on the roster then and even cooler if he actually pitches. Got seats right behind their dugout.

I expect Lassiter to move up soon too. He's 23, he's clearly passed the challenge at the level, and that Kanny outfield is crowded with Sullivan, Adolfo and Rodriguez also there.

NorthSideSox72 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 So, here are all the moves today... C Kevan Smith to the DL C Hector Sanchez to Chicago C Omar Narvaez to Charlotte C Chris O'Dowd to Birmingham C Sean O'Connell to Winston-Salem C Daniel Gonzalez to Kannapolis INF Danny Mendick to Winston-Salem INF Cleuluis Rondon to Kannapolis OF Louis Silverio to Winston-Salem OF Michael Danner released INF Dante Flores to Kannapolis C Daniel Gonazalez to Kannapolis Not sure I've ever seen that many in-season moves in one day before. Sadly, this probably means Johan Cruz' injury isn't minor. They wouldn't bother shipping Flores from AZ to NC if Cruz was back in a few days. Also interesting, BHAM now has two catchers that are really minor league backups: Dowdy and O'Dowd. Fun name pairing too. Kinda surprised that, with 4 legit outfield prospects in Kanny, the promotion was the one bench guy (Silverio). I suppose he's replacing Danner, who was their bench guy anyway, so it makes sense.

Feeky Magee Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) Very strange to demote Engel. Yeah he has a low batting average but his BABIP is at .225 when the lowest it had been at any other level was .304. He was walking loads and had a 89 wRC+ despite the low BABIP. If it's purely to make room for Basto, I don't get it either, he's not a serious prospect in my eyes. Edited May 9, 2016 by Feeky Magee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has to be because something is very wrong on Engel. Basto just happens to be the one most deserving of the slot opened up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They obviously see something. This isn't a stats thing. The fact that he's walking a ton but hitting below the Mendoza line indicates he may be lacking a good approach, so he waits and hopes. But I haven't seen him play in person yet this year so I can't really say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
