Headline an after hour the camp opens: "Tilson side-lined by injury."

 

Nice collection of hitters though.

Looks like a good turnout but I don't really recall what this looks like year to year. Mostly just remember collins and Moncada last year.

This seems like a massive crowd compared to years past. Didn't this just start a few years ago with like 4-5 of the young guys on their own and maybe Konerko?

I don't know that I remember Konerko, but I want to say the first time they did this it was like 5 or 6 guys, and I want to say it was like Viciedo and Josh Fields from the major league team.

First set of short videos of the camp are up on the FutureSox YT channel, which is free. You can subscribe to the channel, by the way, and get an email whenever we post new videos.

 

Kim Contreras is our correspondant who took these videos. She and James Fegan are the only Sox-specific media there at the camp.

The White Sox have successfully combined the DNA of two players to create an ultra player

I have to say I think this has been a great turnout and idea. Seems like a great way to get on same page with the younger players to allow them to get excited and focused for spring training, and break up what's probably the doldrums of the offseason for them.

Hmm, our Burger best shape of his life measurement appears to be off

 

Mike

1:29 So did Jake Burger's body look totally different? He looks transformed in some recent pics.

Eric A Longenhagen

1:30 Not to me. Voluntarily took grounders at third yesterday during BP and looked okay.

Very interested in seeing how he responds to high A ball pitching at Winston Salem. a 31% K rate in low A is concerning, but I hope he can make adjustments.

I also loved this Seby Zevala tidbit, laughed out loud:

"“Z, last year when we had him in camp, it's kinda funny,” Renteria said. “We were going to pinch run him, and I said 'Can you run?' and he said 'I'm the best baserunner in the organization' and I said 'That's pretty good, so I think we'll use you as a pinch runner.'”"

If you are on Twitter, we just RT'd from the FS account a whole slew of videos from Kim (@Cu_As) from the camp, including some guys I haven't seen others put out there yet.
