Yeah, I was trying not to measure the guys we signed out of Cuba at say 18 years or older, because it puts them on a different scale than the 16 year olds out of Latin America, but yeah. I think the next most successful guy would be Bryan Ramos, who has tasted the majors, but it still TBD.

The wild thing is that Lenyn Sosa might actually be the biggest victory for Sox scouting and development out of Latin America, who wasn't an older Cuban, in the last decade. (Tatis Jr was signed July 2015)

Again the best part of this revival has been that is started as soon as the kids were allowed to play more, and some of the horrible, horrible players signed in the off season were yeeted into the abyss. The biggest problem for moving forward is that there isn't anything left currently performing at a decent level in the tank for the near future to move up. The only position player who could be considered ready for the majors is 3rd catcher Korey Lee. The next big guy is the other Montgomery who JUST got to AA and is probably a late 26, early 27 arrival if there are no speed bumps. Past that, the quality position players are 2/3/4 years away. Hagen Smith and Dutch Schultz have been moved up, but have been somewhere between mediocre and awful. Schultz hasn't pitched in a month now, and has still not hit as many as 90 innings in a single season. Hagen Smith hasn't been over 60 pitches in an outing since before he was hurt in May. He's still giving up 3 walks for every 4 IP too.

He's really not though. It's completely obvious that baseball isn't his first language. He has no feel for the game, and for the little things that happen with in it. He brings nothing extra to the game, and really doesn't seem have the ability to make a partner better either. Granted he is better when someone like Beckham or Pleasac is in the booth with him (instead of Steve Stone, but It is really telling when another dude with no PBP MLB experience steps into the booth and sounds way better in Connor McKnight. I get it is hard to fall in a pile of s%*# and come out smelling like roses, so it isn't easy to make the Sox sound good right now, but that shouldn't be what his job is. His job is mostly to tell us what happening. The color guy should be the one adding to that story. The Sox main booth is currently one of the worst in baseball/

Hopefully the answer is that Peller wouldn't give him up at the time.

This is completely unbelievable. I don't know why you lie. You aren't married.

Dude has had such a weird season. I don't recall seeing some oscillate between golden god and Martin Maldonado feels sorry for me so much in one season.

This should contain a trigger warning

So he didn't need two months?

Lmao. If they were trolling for clicks, they would go after an actually engaged fanbase. They really are bad at their jobs if they targeted Sox fans for clicks

Defensively challenged from the arm reports.

I was ready for Lenyn in LF and Brooks in CF.

The big issue is if you aren't a threat, pitchers in MLB aren't going to walk you at the rate that MiLB pitchers do. They will come after chase if he has no power.

Seriously. Put Lenyn is LF and see if he responds. It rebalances the IF for sure and allows you to keep Sosa's bat in the lineup. If he fails, do something different.

Your eye test is defective.

Wasn't it something more like there is a path to picking up his option?

That's not good for Altavilla.

Fwar: Meidroth 1.2 83 games Sosa 1.3 93 games

The White Sox were apparently last.

Betting on Robert not getting hurt is kind of crazy.

All depends on how bad the TV deal is.

Smith is still laboring with no control.

That's nasty

It's a very oddly specific amount of time to say, someone you have never met or worked with, needs to be "fixed". How do they already know it's two months, which is almost exactly what is left in the MiLB season? How come he couldn't get this figured out in a day, a week, or even a month?

Is there a control issue here? Do they gain an extra year by NOT recalling him?
