https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=08/03/2024 https://www.milb.com/scores/all/all/whitesox I am going to take the Mrs on a vacation. Will be away for awhile. I will check in on occasion but y'all may have to do the threads . Be well, go Sox!

Looks like Knebel elected free agency. Probably had an out in his contract related to the trade deadline. If he wasn't in MLB, he could be a FA and catch on with another team. Imagine someone might give him a chance.

Minor leaguers for minor leaguers can still be traded. Corey Knebel has 6 scoreless appearances for AAA. Enough big league experience that I could see a team taking a chance especially if he continues looking ok and/or a team has an injury. Probably only a flier prospect but.

The results are certainly there. The ball doesn’t know how old you are lol.

Great start for McDougal. Five shutout with 2w 8k. Wolkow a double 2-4.

We also should have first priority on the waiver wire for the AL. Churn and burn young players on the wire. No expiring contracts needed. Play the youngsters but don’t start any clocks.

https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=07/31/2024 https://www.milb.com/scores/all/all/whitesox Should have some new players debut soon. Burke and McDougal on the hill.

If that holds, we must reevaluate our international game. We have to figure out how to be at least top ten internationally.

With all the negativity, hard not to pull for guys like Elko and Nishida. A day in MLB might be a win for some.

Five pages debating DeJong LOL LOL

It may have been mentioned in another thread but I haven't seen it so sorry if redundant. Albertus has a stress fracture/rxn in his left tibia and has been shut down for the year. He is expected to be ready to play next spring.....................................

Perez slots in at 13 on mlb.com in Sox prospects. Albertus at 14. Both 45 rating.

The numbers were so good I just figure it is worth following. For a guy with more walks than Ks to switch to 20/1 is something. Heck if it continues he may decide he likes relief or like a Reylondo guy , maybe is better as a starter in the future. Speaking of Lopez, is anyone aware of anything explaining his success this year?

Have we tried Benitendi at catcher yet, like TA? I found a positive! I believe we may have secured the #1 pick in the 2026 draft. JR won't spend after a year of horrible revenue so not a lot of adds beyond scrap heap. Seriously, we should sign no one until prices drop in Feb-March with promise of "if you play well we will trade you". Mottos "Yes, we are this bad" "Think we couldn't be worse, think again!" "Bad teams deserve new stadiums". Promotions: "What game does (insert player) go on the IL" Prize: we lose your season ticket renewal Spin theWheel Fund raiser: Depending on your donation, Does Getz get fired? chance goes up.

Which one? I like the idea of two Vargas's = a Vargi

I was looking at prospects and how several of ours have been struggling. Pallette was moved to the bullpen recently. I understand small sample sizes but....... before the move his last four starts yielded 12.6 IP, 21H, 16 ER, 9 W, 8K. post move to bullpen , he has six appearances 11.6 IP, 6H. 2 ER, 1W, 20K Again, small sample sizes, but that is a dramatic difference. Like, really dramatic. Is it the role? Did he get pissed with the change? Did something click or is he doing something different? I haven't been watching the games so has anyone heard or noticed anything? Kelley and Dalquist have both been much better in the pen as well. A major league reliever would be disappointing but a lot better than nothing or after some success could they possibly get another starting shot?

https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=07/29/2024 https://www.milb.com/scores/all/all/whitesox Maybe some new players will spark some interest.

I looked at a lot of our flip/toss candidates. Pham, DeJong etc. lots of awful ops numbers over the last month or so. The losing streak and pre play has some .500 OPS numbers. Not sure you will get much. Looking more like a waiver claim or DFA which I wouldn't be against. Dump em and let some younger guys like Sosa know they have a long leash.
