NorthSideSox72 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Last season we did a LOT of prospect interviews, 25 players in all (more than half in person, the rest via phone). We've only done a couple this year. So, who would you like to hear from? Below is a list of all the players we have already interviewed in the past year or two (not in any real order). We'd rather get someone new, so, NOT someone on this list... Tim Anderson Micah Johnson (twice) Courtney Hawkins Trey Michalczewski Tyler Danish Erik Johnson Jacob May Marcus Semien Josh Phegley Keon Barnum Kevan Smith Joey DeMichele (twice) Myles Jaye Jason Coats Mike Recchia Brad Goldberg Thad Lowry Chris Bassitt Dan Black James Dykstra Adam Lopez Jake Cose Chris Curley Sammy Ayala (gone) Mark Haddow (gone) Stew Brase (gone) Scott Carroll* (was actually a piece he wrote himself, now in MLB) --- Dan Fabian (Sox Baseball Ops) Brian Boesch (W-S Dash Announcer) Mike Gellinger (manager, AZL White Sox) Tommy Thompson (manager, Winston-Salem Dash) Ryan Newman (was manager of Dash, now a coach with Charlotte) Buddy Bell (Director of Player Development) So who NOT on that list appeals? Keep in mind that the guys in AZL might be tough gets, so it is more likely we can get guys in Great Falls or a full season league. But we are certainly willing to TRY for AZL guys.

southsider2k5 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Some of the 2014 picks could be interesting. Rodon might be tough, but he would be the most interesting. The dude hasn't really said much of anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodon might be tough, but he would be the most interesting. The dude hasn't really said much of anything. The Dash have been sending out information specifically saying Rodon is currently NOT available to the media. They're keeping him under tight wraps. I really doubt I can pull that off, though I'm willing to try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would also be interesting to hear from a guy like Adams. Jake Peter is off to a great start and might be a good target. I'd also still be interested in hearing from Micker Adolofo.

Balta1701 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 11:37 AM) I'd also still be interested in hearing from Micker Adolofo. I asked about talking to any of the guys who had been in the DSL last year when they were in rookie ball and was told they probably weren't ready on the language side. Just guessing that'd be the case here also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Matt Davidson- how he has overcome his struggles from the beginning of the season and through the thumb injury. JB Wendelken- hows the adjustment coming to a new organization and how he has adjusted through the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a possibility. QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 21, 2014 -> 11:19 AM) Rangel Ravelo would be interesting to me. In his case, at least at one time, I was told his English wasn't very strong despite growing up in the States. That may have changed though, and I'd love to talk with him. Definitely a possibility.
