QUOTE (heirdog @ Jun 20, 2017 -> 03:43 PM) Sorry for the poor board etiquette. I didn't know where else to post but someone posted it in the Q thread at the same time so perhaps protocol is to delete my post... That post was not a big deal, no worries.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 09:59 PM) Wow. A lot of us could likely do that or better Just release him, we do not have tons of 1B prospecs, but let someone play who has a prayer of getting a hit. This guy has had plenty of chances.

Barnum now 0-14 with 9 Ks in 3 games after being recalled. My god.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 11, 2017 -> 09:33 PM) Kopech with four walks and 3 k's, not even out of the second yet. No runs allowed, though. 50 pitches. 2.83 era. Trey M. and Barnum back. Barons' lineup probably the worst in AA. First game back up and Barnum went 0-6 with 4 Ks on Saturday, then 0-4 with 2 Ks Sunday. When do we release this chode?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 9, 2017 -> 11:25 PM) http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20170609 Moncada walks, Fisher 3rd homer, Fulmer on the mound, no Robert yet Collins and Basabe start day at 223 and 215 respectively, although Collins is leading Moncada in ops Bueno moved up to AAA recently to play SS. Bueno played 3B in his first game I think and LF in his 2nd one.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 9, 2017 -> 09:38 PM) Because if you already are playing 1b in college, you likely already don't have the type of tools to be a star in the MLB. Not many Will Clark's or Frank Thomas's out there. Far and few in between.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 8, 2017 -> 03:39 PM) That's how you spell it LOL heh, I had some time trying to find him other the other name. I kind of remembered this kid from Mich. State

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 8, 2017 -> 02:45 AM) Nationals trade a minor league pitcher named Mick VanLoessen to the Sox. He was like an 840 some pick in the 28TH ROUND A FEW YEARS BACK Mick VanVossen

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2017 -> 03:08 AM) No idea what happened but third "out" was given first base and of course all inherited runners ended up scoring Passed ball by Schroeder on the strikeout that would have been 3rd out. Would have been out of the inning with no runs, instead 6 runs come in.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 7, 2017 -> 04:59 PM) Nelson Acosta is the most well regarded pitcher on the Sox DSL team. Here's a tweet from raBBIt on him from last year. Brian Bilek‏ @BrianBilek_ Nelson Acosta went 6 innings with 10Ks and four hits for the #WhiteSox Dominican Summer League team. After today: 37/1 K/BB in 33 innings. Hector Acosta has pitched thus far, not Nelson Acosta

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jun 8, 2017 -> 01:01 AM) Another HR for Adolfo. Wonder why other teams mgr got booted right after the homer (or so it appears in box score log)

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 30, 2017 -> 05:40 PM) Hey guys, do you have any idea what the Sox' plan is for Lopez? I don't think he has much left to learn at AAA and would be best served up in Chicago mid-summer taking his lumps. When is his super 2 deadline, middle of June right? He is not dominating AAA by any means. Let him stay down.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 30, 2017 -> 02:18 PM) Catch up on the last 8 days' worth of minor league transactions, key stories, affiliate performances and more. Extra day due to the Memorial Day holiday. Some pretty interesting roster moves, with not only three promotions to the majors, but also some odd multi-level jumps, and Blake Hickman was finally added to an active roster. I found it interesting that Beatty and Valerio both pitched one game for Charlotte in a pinch and both got wins.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ May 30, 2017 -> 02:15 PM) Only K'ing 16% of the time as well. I'm a big fan of that. Wish there was a spot for him to play right now (Davidson deserves every day at bats at DH/1B/3B). Very pleasantly surprised by Davidson. He started to struggle after the fast start but has picked it back up again. Would love to see him have a big game today vs Sale.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 30, 2017 -> 02:05 PM) The catcher thing is still a mistake on MiLB.com. They got him and Mike Hickman (who is actually a catcher) mixed up from when they were drafted the same year. Also, it's more than likely that Blake Hickman will be a starter, at least for now. He flipped places with Comito, who was in the rotation. Thank you very much NorthSide

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ May 29, 2017 -> 09:29 PM) Former 7th rounder and Simeon grad Blake Hickman is making his org debut for Kannapolis today Kanny roster has him listed as a Catcher, they only have 12 pitchers on roster. I am going to assume he is really going to pitch in relief and not catch. Any ideas?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 27, 2017 -> 05:14 PM) Crede, Hermanson and Jenks say hello...Jim Thome as well, on the back issues. Started to bother Konerko late in his career as well. Ron Hansen (60s), Bill Melton, Bart Johnson and Eric Soderholm were some folks from a bit longer ago who also had careers basically end due to bad backs.

Nick Burdi, the Twins hard throwing minor league reliever, is going to undergo Tommy John surgery. http://www.twincities.com/2017/05/26/twins...my-john-surgery

QUOTE (fathom @ May 7, 2017 -> 01:38 AM) 43-73 for Hawkins striking out. That's insane They need to cut bait here so badly.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 27, 2017 -> 09:22 PM) The better we play as a team, the more leverage I would think we have in terms of trades (if Hahn is committed to that path). He better be committed to this rebuild

QUOTE (ventura_abreu @ Apr 19, 2017 -> 03:41 AM) Who gets bumped when Petricka and Rodon are brought back onto the 12 man pitching staff? In addition, if the White Sox feel that Beck and Burdi are ready for the bullpen in May, who would be bumped? Release Petricka, Kahnle is better.

3-1 Charlotte led into the bottom of 9th. Burdi gave up 3 a couple days ago and blew the save. Last night he let first 2 batters on. Looked bad. Then he struck out the next 3 hitters for the save. Learning to close.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Apr 19, 2017 -> 12:43 AM) He is so much better than advertised at dealing with the running game it's absurd. It was 1st and 3rd and no outs, big, big play

Thanks

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Apr 9, 2017 -> 01:33 PM) Was also wondering that, any other names we don't see unexpectedly? I know in TEX's system Frank Lopez is MIA as well, Mario Hollands for PHI too, all in Extended? Others I may have expected to make Kanny, but likely going to be at Great Falls. Matt Foster, Corey Zangori, Sam Dexter.
