One common refrain that the last 20 years of more fan voice has given us is dismissal that internet gms just fire everyone and are idiots. But the thing is if you outsourced white sox minor league scouting to this forum I think it would be better. Even if we didn't get any more info than scouting websites + futuresox + box scores, I think we'd be better. And that's definitely not saying we'd be among the best scouting depts in the game, mainly just that the sox are bad.

The thing about the hitting coach that always comes back is someone will say hitting coaches don't really matter, but if that's the case there's no real reason not to fire them either so you may as well give it a shot.

This won't last, but the giants are a team with the best player development in baseball and the sox are not in the top ten (at the very least).

Same, was an excellent game to attend. Fun crowd, great weather.

Soft tossin lefty in college per BA Drafted in the 10th round (305th overall) by the Chicago White Sox in 2021 (signed for $20,000) Sommer is a proven college performer with Indiana and has a career 3.71 ERA over four seasons. He pitched mostly out of the bullpen before moving to a full-time starting role in 2020 and this spring posted a 4.60 ERA over 12 starts and 62.2 innings, while striking out 69 batters and walking 38. Sommer is a soft-tosser who throws his fastball in the upper 80s and occasionally touches 91, but he has good feel for an upper-70s/low-80s changeup that he threw around 30% of the time this spring. He also throws a curveball and a cutter and shows feel to pitch to both sides of the plate.

Uh 7 BBS for Bilous tonight

Lenyn Sosa was 2-5 and after yesterdays power surge he’s now over 1.000 in Birmingham. Also J Rodriguez 2-5

I’ve seen enough, Menas probably the only pitcher with a curve for strikes in low-A. Move him up.

Not sure about the historical accuracy of that helmet

Love how Rodriguez has been making more contact but sad his power hasn’t been much in Bham so far.

One of the few years Charlotte has been an interesting watch.

Oh hey Charlotte is playing OSU receiver Smith-Njigbas brother

Lol you still believe Norge Vera is real? I stopped believing in him when I was 12!

So same amount of runs scored as if they played?

Next time he pitches the next day remind me to bring out a killer “Hasta Mena-na” joke

Preller is absolutely going to try my roid and roll plan

I could buy 2 weeks to rehab, but I don't buy 2 weeks to MLB team.

I still love that company and its leadership but it's going to be real touch and go for all of the smaller players the next few years. I hope they raised enough capital to stay afloat because I think they've made a lot of smart bets and obviously they have a big plant in IL I'm rooting for as well.

In general I hate when people specifically let everyone know they don't like care for something in the middle of everyone discussing it... yet... I really don't understand they hyperventilating every year trying to figure out the nfl schedule. We already know what teams they are playing! Who cares! It's May, at this point October is only a loose, sad concept to me.

Wow I did not know they had milb game feeds. Awesome

This is an extremely funny tweet only sox fans will laugh at (The last one)

The bats have gone cold in A

I definitely think our PD has improved for hitting, but also think a big part of this is getting in younger talent that can improve their ceiling through the system. And honestly shoutout to Paddy. Ramos had a decent bonus, but Sosa was a blip in the write-up. Jose Rodriguez just showed up without us knowing about him at all. These position players from lat am just did not get above A ball from 2012-2018 it felt like.

For anyone wondering why I posted that thread, Generic had this post:

I haven't seen him in a while but just in case @GenericUserName would love if you could share your thoughts. I wonder if this guy was gonna be signed by us in 2019 and then that agreement collapsed with the Govt? In this thread since we've signed obviously Yolbert, Colas, Yoelkis and Vera. now Chappeli. (not really drawing lines to what happend in 2019, we sign a lot of cubans in general).
