  1. Sign me up for a Lucroy-Braun package to the White Sox. That'd require Tim Anderson and pitching prospects.
  2. QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 23, 2015 -> 08:14 PM) Did you hear he has good makeup? Observed it, and yeah from talking with him and seeing how he interacts with coaches (asking persistent questions) and teammates, I think it's fair to say so.
  3. QUOTE (Dunt @ Oct 23, 2015 -> 06:55 AM) Up to .357/.500/.429 after yesterdays performance. Man would that be a huge coup if he could produce a 700+ OPS with his defense and speed. Next year is crucial for him. Not very confident about his hit tool developing, but I like high-ceiling, up-the-middle guys with good makeup. Will be quite the test for him at AA, assuming he starts there.
  4. QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Sep 7, 2015 -> 09:31 PM) @philgrogers: White Sox 3B Trey Michalczewski, 20, finishes 2nd in Carolina League w/75 RBIs. A switch-hitter, he's driven in 171 runs in 318 pro games. Haven't read much on him. Anyone seen him or know about him? BP: In game: , ,
  5. QUOTE (Dunt @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 10:31 PM) After being pretty boring this season, Kanny should be really interesting next season with a lineup potentially of Zangari, Zavala, Glines, Adolfo, Cruz, etc. This.
  6. Glasnow is arguably the toughest pitcher to square up...in all of baseball. Though, 0-4 with 3Ks is still 0-4 with 3Ks.
  7. QUOTE (raBBit @ Aug 21, 2015 -> 06:12 PM) I've been out of town and missed these but really good job on the videos by Will. Thanks homie.
  8. Jordan Guerrero's line - 8 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 4 K Brett Austin: 3-4, 2B
  9. https://twitter.com/CurtBloom4/status/630958703110451200 Day-to-day injury.
  10. QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Aug 10, 2015 -> 09:32 PM) http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20150810 Didn't see a thread. Anderson 2-5 with his 11th triple. Montas with a nice start: 5IP, 1R, 0ER, 5K, 2BB Anderson hurt sliding into third on his triple. https://twitter.com/Dave_Gershman/status/630923999715831808
  11. More on Tago: http://dashboard.mlblogs.com/2015/08/06/da...-major-success/ "Former Dash right-hander Peter Tago mainly used a curveball as a secondary pitch during his first four years of professional baseball after being drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the supplemental first round, 47th overall, in 2010. However, upon arriving to White Sox Spring Training in February after being taken in the Triple-A phase of the Rule V Draft, Tago worked with Dash pitching coach J.R. Perdew and Kannapolis pitching coach Jose Bautista to develop a slider. The results have been staggering: During the four years Tago spent in the Colorado system, lefties bashed him to a .276/.406/.408 tune. However, across Kannapolis, Winston-Salem and Birmingham this season, left-handed batters have only hit .211/.302/.276. “It’s just an easier pitch for me to throw as far as secondary to lefties,” said Tago, who was promoted to Double-A Birmingham on July 25. “It’s hard and it’s not easy to pick up out of my hand as compared to when I was throwing a curveball previously in my career. “It’s based off the fastball – I can throw it with the same arm speed and same arm action as my fastball, and that is what gets the hitter to commit.”
  12. QUOTE (LDF @ Aug 6, 2015 -> 11:13 PM) another arm.... where and how does this team get all the luck for acquiring pitchers. It really is impressive and a huge organizational strength - top to bottom. Has as much to do with scouting and player dev. as it does luck.
  13. Barons RHP Peter Tago is a stud. 23 y/o former first-rounder of the Rockies in his last 10 games w/ Barons (and Dash): 17.1 IP, 9 H, 2 ER, 25 SO, 8 BB, 1.04 ERA, and 6 saves.
  14. That's the point. Anderson has a track record, even in spite of his raw of tools, and has produced at every single level. Fulmer was just drafted and we don't yet know how he will translate or what the White Sox have. What it comes down to for me is that with Rodon graduated, Anderson is the #1 prospect by default. I say that in part because his ceiling is huge even if he moves to CF (or honestly even 2B), which is a legitimate possibility. But more importantly because he's done nothing to be moved down a spot. This is his first year in AA and he is absolutely thriving; he really is. For someone that didn't do amateur showcases and was strictly a basketball player until his junior year at JC, his career thus far is remarkable. And don't get me wrong: I absolutely love Fulmer – very reasonable to think he could be a mid-rotation starter or an elite closer.
