Jose Abreu has 23 walks this year.

Hostetler may well have a breath of fresh air philosophy, but, it would be nice to see someone with experience in the way another successful org was run to provide that jolt rather than someone working in theory.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 4, 2015 -> 07:25 AM) I don't have as much of a problem with them promoting Hostetler. My issue is that Laumann was rewarded for his sub-par performance with a promotion up, just like Kenny Williams. White Sox Baseball: Loyalty without Accountability I don't necessarily know that his was a "promotion up"

Last night was tough. I was so impressed by Carlos and Abreu fighting back like that. I've been in the wait-and-see mode with Avi, not wanting to fully give up on that talent. But this team's offense has turned on without him, and it's defense has turned on without him. We have to scrape for everyhting, and you just can't have that big of a liability in RF. I say platoon of Schuck/Trayce. Let's see how good we can do with a defensive heavy lineup.

So happy for Carlos. Ashamed I gave up on him in June.

But provide plus defense.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Aug 3, 2015 -> 03:27 PM) For what it's worth, I was tipped off about something along these lines a few months ago. The person I heard from said Rick started to listen more and more to Hostetler at the expense of Laumann. The person that I was in touch with felt Laumann was actually better at his job than Hostetler. We'll see how it work out. One thing is clear...over the last 15 years the Sox have had a number of people in charge of amateur scouting and minor league operations. In my opinion that part of the reason the minor league system is in the shape its been in. Mark It hasn't seem like it has been that many. Laumann was 9 of those years.

Melky's slash line was insane.

OK, so it does seem like Laumann is in a much more reduced role.

WAS ANYONE IN THE BEST SHAPE OF THEIR LIVES?

These first debates will be crazy. How can you get more than one question to each candidate in the time allotted?

Dang, really wanted to see Trayce immediately.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 3, 2015 -> 01:44 PM) Houston and McPhee both looked really good at OLB. Christian Jones looked good as well and Ego at least looks the part of a potential player. What position was Ego playing?

Scouted Gordon Beckham... :o

Would love to know what this really means for structure.

Is that article not parody?

So from what i've seen. The first 2-3 practices were disaster for the defense. Very negative notes on Fuller/Bostic/all safeties. The last 2 have been more positive, with positive notes on Fuller/Bostic/all safeties. Going to back out of the day to day of training camp. Forgot how annoying it is.

I don't know, hard to keep track, bunch of random tweets through the weekend. One of the PFW guys said CB was a real concern.

Is Trayce healthy? I heard he had nagging injuries through July.

Was just about to come in and post on that. Rookies learning curve is huge, difficult to come in and produce right away. It also sounds like Fuller still sucks and already has nagging injuries.

Really looking forward to following Zangari.

With how badly our bullpen was burned this weekend, they may want to keep Carrol a bit longer.

No way. White sox have higher than average run expectancy with runner on third and two outs??

Adam has been great on base paths recently
