QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 5, 2017 -> 11:55 AM) I don't think Engel ever figures it out offensively and I would definitely play Luery over him in CF next year. And I honestly think Willy, Delmonico, & Cordell all deserve playing time over him in LF as well. Best case scenario IMO is Engel hits enough to be a solid 4th OF. I agree. That said, the point that his defense could help out our young pitchers is definitely a fair one.

I like Kailah but she is terrible at drafting.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Aug 5, 2017 -> 11:22 AM) Here's the problem. I fully expect Lopez & Giolito to be in the rotation to start next year along with Rodon. At some point, Kopech will force his way into rotation as well. Assumes all goes well (unlikely I know), that basically leaves one spot for Adams, Stephens, or Guerrero for 2018/2019 before Hansen & Dunning start pushing for spots. I think Adams will end up being a quality #4 starter, but it might not be with us. He'll need to grab any opportunity presented and run with it or else some of the higher ceiling guys will take his spot. Rodon might be trade bait at some point too. Obviously I don't know if that will happen but that could open up a rotation spot as well.

I think all those ETA's are fair, Lillian. That said I think Burger is here before 2020. I really believe that dude is going to fly through the system. No clue if he's going to be a successful major leaguer or not but he's going to destroy the minors imo.

Nicky should find plenty of at bats whether it's in left or dh'ing.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 4, 2017 -> 06:19 PM) Yes and no. Players can go from high-A to the MLB in about half a season, so in that regard I would agree completely. On the other hand, the difference between high-A and AA seems to be the biggest jump of any within the minors, so you really begin to weed people out. I agree with all this. It really just depends on the player.

QUOTE (BamaDoc @ Aug 4, 2017 -> 01:07 PM) Our low levels are full of prospects. Upper levels there a smattering of prospects but a lot of filler. Gonna take awhile, longer than I had hoped. The upper levels have a ton of pitching prospects, position prospects not so much.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 4, 2017 -> 11:23 AM) Micker Adolfo hit a couple of dingers last night too. Amongst Sallie league leaders, he is 3rd in homers, tied for 3rd in 2b's, 5th in RBI, 11th in hits, 18th in SLG, 20th in OPS. Burger, Rutherford, Adolfo were taking turns having monster days while the site blew up. That Kanny offense is absurd.

Luis Robert is good too. That's all that needs to be said I think.

What is this? Where am I?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 1, 2017 -> 07:27 AM) I gotta say Matt Foster has put up video game numbers in his early career so far. Got some sleep this time Row? Haha indeed. Hopefully today will be a little better of a day for me.

I also don't think they're moving Rutherford away from CF until they absolutely have to.

Kopech done. 8 k's and 0 walks. Awesome.

Ya what Fathom said ha.

Kopech getting hit around a bit in the 5th. Still no walks though so that's good.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 07:51 PM) You've had an incredibly s***ty day posting on different threads. Good lord I need to go to bed.

Only 82 pitches through 7 for Dane. EDIT: Nevermind. 100 through 7 so I'm guessing he's done. What a freakin game.

Dunning finally gave up a couple hits and a run but 10 k's and 0 walks through 5.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 29, 2017 -> 12:35 PM) Worth mentioning: First half - 6 BB/9 (44 BB in 66 IP) Second half - 3.6 BB/9 (13 in 32.1 IP) And, over his last 3 starts, he's at 1.8 BB/9 over 20 IP, including an 8 inning start where he didn't walk anyone. That's as much tangible progress as I need to see that he's developing. Good stuff Wite.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 06:26 PM) Only one player selected #1 overall is a member of the hall of fame (Griffey Jr). Chipper Jones will join that club and Arod should be in that club (whether he actually gets voted in or not is to be determined). How many have there been at every other draft spot?

Micker double as well. Dane perfect through 2 with 4 k's.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 06:17 PM) Rutherford single, Burger dinger Jimenez double Well that's just beautiful.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 05:03 PM) I think you might have posted in the wrong thread? Yes, yes I did ha. Long day or something.

I have nothing to back this up but the striking out looking thing seems to me like it's an easier fix than swinging and missing a lot.

I'll be the one that says I think that's pretty dumb but whatever.
