Looks like he had one good start thus far. Was curious where he ended up, and thought I would post it since he was in Illinois. http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/p...id=lopez-002ada

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 14, 2015 -> 04:47 PM) Recap posted! Yes, my take above was more about the Brewers announcing staff not knowing about what Baines did today for the Sox, what his coaching job was. I did not realize they did not know much about his past hitting exploits, that I would expect even Ueker would know a bit about that.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 14, 2015 -> 12:02 AM) It's also interesting that Bob Uecker and the Brewers' radio people had ZERO idea what Harold Baines did for the White Sox now. They had to look it up. Assistant hitting coach. They said, "boy, was he a great hitter, near HofF caliber except for the injuries and time spent as a DH" but had zero clue that he was even a coach still or what it was he was supposedly doing for the organization. I find that a bit telling. The Brewers are a NL team, I would not expect their announcer to know all the ins and outs of an AL team. One would think he would know about Baines, but there is a lot to know about MLB and the dude is quite old. Give him a break.

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 13, 2014 -> 01:21 PM) the sox needs more depth, how will the sox address that, via trade and / or draft pick. The Sox are players in Latin America now more than ever. That helps if we lose any draft picks. Granted, we need to build via draft as well, but don't forget our other areas of getting prospects.

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 10:24 PM) i don't know of AJ, he was more like, i hate to play against him, but its nice to have on your team. Swisher, yeah he was. but not as bad. there was that 3b as well, can't remember his name. Youkilis?

QUOTE (shysocks @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 02:34 PM) Word. These moves better mean we are ALL ***ING IN, bolded, though. No messing around. We did not even have to have our management tell us that we were all in (Theo). We figured it all out on our own with our mgmt moves.

I like that they batted him 3rd in the order as well. That is some respect.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Oct 25, 2014 -> 05:17 PM) When does Bassitt start getting more love around here? Dude has been legit this year. 84.1 innings stretched across the minors, majors, and AFL 2.57 ERA 87/33 K/BB just 2 HRs(none in 29 ML innings). Couple that with an impressive 2013 season and I believe he was equally impressive when he converted to the rotation in 2012. I'm curious as to why he's not even in some peoples top 10 (and really I'm neginning to question my own 7 or 8 rating). Is it merely because of talk that he prefers relieving? I hope they let him start before he proves he can't, because so far as a starter, he's been legit. I am hoping he surprises as a reliever and is our closer next year. If Addison Reed can do it I think Bassitt can. Let Putnam and Petricka stay in setup roles.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 7, 2014 -> 08:54 PM) Bassitt's outing done: 2.1 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 K Smith so far 1-2 with an RBI 2B and a foul-tip K. Bassitt got the win. Smith went 1-4.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 24, 2014 -> 06:19 PM) FutureSox is looking at the players in the system who led the entire organization in some key statistical categories. First up is hitters, which is right here. As noted in the article, top performers is not the same as top prospects. But it is nevertheless interesting to see who was at the top of these lists. Some unexpected names in a few cases, at least for me. Good stuff, thanks. Lots of interesting info.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Sep 17, 2014 -> 02:31 PM) I think the Sox take whichever college RHSP that slips to them between Buehler, Matuela, Bickford or if they are all gone pick whichever of Fulmer, Funkhouser or OF DJ Stewart are left. All of them, potentially with the exception of Bickford, look like they will be quick movers and be able to add value to the ML roster in short order. In the second round they will find a high ceiling guy that slipped to continue to reinforce the bottom of the system. Pitching, pitching and more pitching, at least for the draft. We will acquire the bats we need in FA, Hahn has said that we will participate in FAs this offseason.

QUOTE (Señor Ding-Dong @ Sep 5, 2014 -> 04:10 AM) He hit two HRs this year compared to 8 last year. I don't know, I'd day he had a neutral year. Same thing goes for Barnum. He got off to a terrible start (I remember I just about wrote him off at one point) but somehow managed to finish over .250. He didn't quite show as much power as I thought he would and IIRC he had a lot of errors at 1B. So I'd say neutral for those two, but they did show great resiiliency by bouncing back from rought starts, so they deserve kudos for that. Guess I was thinking more about how many doubles he was hitting vs last season. Maybe I should have used the term "gap" power. I can see why some do not take his year as being an improvement, but I thought it was. Oh well.

Jacob May should be stock up as he showed some power and his SB ratio was real good. He had a horrific start and more than overcame that before he got hurt.

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Sep 2, 2014 -> 11:30 PM) I would agree with this post. I usually look up the box scores myself, so the daily recaps don't really do much for me. However, the tweets have been very enjoyable/informative. Same here. I peruse the boxes myself for information, so I typically do not read the recaps.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 4, 2014 -> 06:27 AM) Is AZL play considered much better than HS ball that Adams faced? I mean, I absolutely love his 40 K to 2 BB, that's just insane, but I'm wondering if he really doesn't get challenged until he gets to Kanny. Are you serious? Rookie league may be lots of HS kids, but they are the top couple hundred HS kids in the nation, a crummy HS kid does not get drafted (only if related to Kenny or Ozzie). So yes, Rookie League is quite a step up from HS baseball.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 31, 2014 -> 03:16 PM) Flurry of roster moves... --Scott Snodgress to AAA --Tony Bucciferro, Jefferson Olacio, Nelvin Fuentes to AA --Brandon Brennan, Brandon Hardin to A+ --Nick McCully released Kanny at 24 on the roster now. Have to think Jake Peter or Zach Fish may be headed up at some point soon, if not both. Likely will be a pitcher.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 11:49 PM) Danish getting no love from his D, 2 errors so far.uhgg. Just the 4th error on Rondon since callup. Wow.

Thomore was committed to Rutgers http://www.nj.com/hssports/blog/baseball/i..._prospects.html

Reading some articles to see what college Thomore had committed to and I see he also tore his hamstring in his 2nd season of rookie league ball with the Rockies and that hampered him for a long time. http://www.mycentraljersey.com/story/sport...agues/11714051/

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 04:06 PM) WOW, never knew that, knew he was drafted very high with COL outta high school, he still has a solid arm and pretty solid speed, still could be something Yep. Looks like Nick has the real scoop above and an article to go with it. I knew it was bad. Did not know about his mother and it appears he got hurt before being drafted.

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Jul 29, 2014 -> 03:00 PM) When I saw him in May he was doing really well and I thought he was back to being a prospect, he still makes solid contact but some of his swings almost look like check swings, he's still young but I think with Instructs in the Fall and some work with Sasser or maybe even Thome one day, he can go back to being a very very solid contact hitter. What was his injury? I don't even remember I believe he had a nasty leg break early in his pro career. He was highly touted HS hitter. Great arm in the OF and could run a bit. The team that took him relatively early gave up on him and we took a shot.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 26, 2014 -> 06:07 PM) http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?s...mp;ymd=20140726 Charlotte- Doran & TBA Birmingham- Snodgress (Has been pitching well lately) Winston Salem- Marin Kannapolis- Leyer Great Falls- Stone AZL & DSL- TBA Charlotte goes up against Axelrod in Game 1.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 25, 2014 -> 11:47 AM) Cody Winiarski has been doing a Mitchell Boggs impersonation. I actually was holding some hope Cody would be a closer candidate eventually. He came back from injury and had a nice year last year, looked good in ST and seemed to even start out ok at Birm. Then all hell broke loose.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jul 14, 2014 -> 10:05 PM) by any chance any update on his range there? thanks for any updates. Not sure, that is more than I look at. I just looked at his fielding info on baseballreference.com
