QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 2, 2017 -> 05:28 PM) Has he earned a call up? He has nothing but solid numbers since he went down to Charlotte. Sure he has . That's what being in the high minors and putting up good numbers is for. Just don't expect it soon. On a side note I'm really sick of his face on the banner.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 3, 2017 -> 02:16 PM) Here is the FutureSox version of the White Sox Prospects of the Month. Also in there are some names who just missed. The pitcher who won is a familiar name to most. The hitter, probably not so much, but you should start getting to know him now. Who would you have picked, if anyone different? Excellent list. It's great to see when prospects emerge . I hope they all can keep it up . Mendick is opening eyes as a guy with speed and defense and now hitting. All those qualities combined is hard to find especially in the minors where defense and hitting are often in the "developmental" stages . The pitching is tremendous. Couldn't have asked for more from the guys under Giolito and Lopez.

Thank you , you also. Go Sox and Murica

Good work. The 2nd half I'd like to see more straight steal attempts especially with 2 outs from Anderson, Hanson, Leury especially ( Sanchez not so much ) I mean it's a rebuild year let them take their base stealing lumps now . They may even learn a few things.. Moncada whenever he comes up. That's a lot of speed and each guy should be capable of the 75% minimum steal rate. There's no reason the Sox as a team can't steal more than 100 bases . I know the steal is #2 to the bunt in ancient baseball tactics but it can get that extra base or 2 without giving up the out.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 4, 2017 -> 04:07 AM) Saladino played last night for Charlotte, Leury is working out in AZ. Saladino may be there a while.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 2, 2017 -> 09:12 PM) Find a post of mine burying Avi. Find a post of anybody besides El Rockin praising Avi, expressing confidence in Avi, wanting Avi to be our right fielder this season for any reason besides tanking games. Who on this board actually appreciated Avi's potential before spring training 2017? Probably El Rockin. I seem to recall maybe one Avi fan, not sure if it was Mex or Tex or whom. Maybe one. Me and there were others too. I had protracted discussions with Eminor3 sticking up for Avi.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 2, 2017 -> 05:13 PM) Wow, not a single World Series champion Cub made the roster. Wade Davis the only the Cub at the moment. Nice to see. Just hope the slump ends with a big 4 hit game.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 2, 2017 -> 02:27 PM) As did Choo's legs being way the f*** outside the baseline... Was ruled a legal slide thus taking Sanchez out was all good . Not sure of the rule but if you have a direct path to the base and don't overslide it I guess you can slide however you want within those parameters.

YS YES !

Why didnt Davidson just step on 3rd and throw to 1st ? He seemed fairly close to the bag .

Going to miss Melky when he's gone. Decent LH bat , plus personality and strong and accurate arm . I love watching runners get nailed. Very exciting.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 30, 2017 -> 10:21 AM) Hey S2k5, someone on SSS posted these super 2 service dates: Fulmer: July 5 Lopez: July 7 Giolito: July 13 Moncada: July 18 Little earlier than you posted last night in the minors forum. Are those accurate? No matter what the dates are when we see some prospects depends on who gets traded. Gaps on the roster should mean prospects get called up. If Q and some relievers get traded we'll probably see Lopez for starts and others for the bullpen .

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 30, 2017 -> 01:53 PM) Daryl Van Schouwen‏Verified account @CST_soxvan 36s37 seconds ago AAA Charlotte Knights infielder Nicky Delmonico joining Yoan Moncada on International League All-Star team. Wasn't Delmonico picked to replace Moncada since Moncada will be playing in the Futures game instead of the All Star game ?

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 30, 2017 -> 09:54 AM) Alex Call is playing. No Burger or Sheets. Didn't Burgur say in his interview during the game he'd be in Az for 8 days ( not on the AZL team I think just extended time for instructional stuff) then Kanny after that ?

Anyone else notice that they are busting Avi in on his hands even more now than before ? He still swings at way too many balls and the ones inside he can't barrel up. The adjustments by pitchers are in full swing now.Avi needs to lay off and take some walks.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 30, 2017 -> 07:48 PM) He's not ready, IMO. Could benefit from another few months in AAA. I understand why they're doing it but it could mess with his development. He'll probably hit 3 HR's his 1st week up.

9th inning rallies with walk off are fun.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 27, 2017 -> 08:40 PM) what happened i started playing video games Oh you think you deserve an explanation after ditching the Sox to play video games ?

Can the Sox win without getting a hit ?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 27, 2017 -> 12:49 PM) With the extension, the organization is 100% certain what it is committed to. Without the extension they would not have any certainty at all. Sounds kind of strange considering Anderson was a rookie last year and that means 6 years of certainty does it not ?

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 27, 2017 -> 08:13 PM) Davidson missed a couple fastballs down Broadway. With Davidson and Avi combined about 1 for last 37 it's been an offensive struggle this home stand.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 27, 2017 -> 08:42 AM) Full Avi article CSN Chicago‏Verified account @CSNChicago 1h1 hour ago "You should be embarrassed you're batting seventh in winter league." http://bit.ly/2sbkVHh He's been slumping lately. Looks like he's trying to pull everything. Not barreling up much. Left a ton of guys on base yesterday. Didn't even look good against lefties.Was begging for him to go up the middle but kept hitting weak grounders to the left side. Avi doesn't hit Sox lose thus the recent lousy homestand.

Gave it a 5 . Hahn has been notoriously bad making trades at the deadline and we'll see how it goes this year but I think what many are expecting isn't going to happen.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 24, 2017 -> 09:25 AM) Pretty bad numbers last night, but they say he's ready. Next start will probably be at home next week. Saw him in the dugout during Sundays game but no announcement yet he's back on the Sox ?

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Jun 24, 2017 -> 12:37 PM) Anyone else worried about the defensive unit? Seems Hawks were struggling in that department last year and letting Hammer go we got thinner now. More moves coming? Hawks addressing lots of issues with these moves. Got more money to work with, net front presence, younger, bigger, a back up goalie. Murphy blocks lots of shots like Hammer. Now if Murphy is a better puck handler and faster then they also addressed the ability for a defenseman to skate the puck through the neutral zone which seemed to be a big problem in Rd. 1 this year. Sucks about Hossa, awesome 2 way player. Panarin's days were numbered. As exciting as he was with Kane the Hawks weren't going to be able to re-sign him and he wasn't a good 2 way player Is Campbell on his way out ? I noticed Soxpride18 didn't have him in his defensive pairings. Any future moves what to look for ? Maybe more speed ?
