QUOTE (KnightsOnMintSt @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 10:01 AM) I will really enjoy watching the Charlotte rotation next year. Potentially starting the season with a rotation of: 1. Giolito 2. Kopech 3. Stephens 4. Guerrero 5. Adams I think Adams stays in AA for the start of next season. Also don't think Giolito will be in Charlotte long.

QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 15, 2017 -> 02:13 PM) http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/updated-top...sts-al-central/ list without notes: 1. Yoan Moncada, 2B 2. Eloy Jimenez, OF 3. Michael Kopech, RHP 4. Lucas Giolito, RHP 5. Luis Robert, OF 6. Reynaldo Lopez, RHP 7. Blake Rutherford, OF 8. Alec Hansen, RHP 9. Dylan Cease, RHP 10. Zack Collins, C The fact that guys like Dunning and Burger aren't even in the top 10 just shows how loaded the farm really is. Should be fun to monitor these guys the next couple years.

Godaddy was trying to sell me the domain name soxtalk.com I refused.

Kopech, Hansen and Dunning are all in the top 12 of all minor league pitchers in strikeouts this season.

DSL Sox lost 8-7 in game one of a double header. Luis Robert returned and hit his 2nd HR. SCOREBOARD Charlotte - Lopez (6-5 3.65) Birmingham - Guerrero (7-9 3.71) Winston Salem - Lambert (2-2 4.61) Kannapolis - TBD

It appears that Lopez is staying in the minors for another rotation turn. Not sure why we need another Pelfrey start

QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 1, 2017 -> 02:58 PM) Hes back. MLB Pipeline‏Verified account @MLBPipeline 5m5 minutes ago More Back with a jack. Luis Robert's 1st game since 7/4 (knee injury): 2-for-3, HR (2), BB. #WhiteSox No. 4/@MLB No. 26: http://atmlb.com/2mVv5oq This is great news. Someone said he would be in the US in September. Not sure the source, but if it's true I could see him playing in the AFL. That would be cool.

Kopech and Dunning tonight.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 03:27 PM) False alarm on the Charlotte stuff, whoever was tweeting about it thought the game was tonight at 6:00 when it's really tomorrow at 6:00 Ya, Charlotte is off tonight. I still think Lopez starts for the Sox tomorrow.

Stephens for sure. He missed a lot of time

SCOREBOARD Charlotte - Danish (3-9 4.42) Birmingham - Adams (7-9 3.98) Winston Salem - Clarkin (4-5 2.68) Kannapolis - Hickman (2-5 4.26) Great Falls - Rigler (2-1 7.11)

QUOTE (KnightsOnMintSt @ Jul 28, 2017 -> 02:14 PM) Obviously still awhile away, but I wanted to drum up some discussion. We're most likely going to have a top 5 pick in both drafts. What does everyone hope the moves are? Are we looking for best player available? High school vs. College? What do we all want and think? I still want Beer because of the name and the guy can flat out hit. But, if we have the #2 or #3 pick and there is a can't miss SS available, I'd understand if that was the pick.

QUOTE (iWin4Ron @ Jul 28, 2017 -> 11:12 AM) You can get into Guranteed Rate Park for $5-$7 dollar tickets now. These are corner upper deck tickets, but I imagine you can move to open spots closer. At least that's my plan. You can, but anytime there is even a slight interest in the game those upper corner tickets "sell out" and you end up buying upper deck reserved for like $20. I've been to 9 or 10 games this year and about half of them this has happened. (moncada first game, the sale/quintana game, the double header etc.)

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jul 27, 2017 -> 03:16 PM) I'd be shocked if we see Kopech before 2019. He'll start next year in AAA and if he dominates I could definitely see him coming up at some point.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 27, 2017 -> 10:08 AM) Jennings wasn't great, but he was involved in so many games. If he didn't get in, he probably warmed up once or twice. Now Holmberg the only lefty. I still have tickets for 13 games. It's going to be very ugly. Bummer!

QUOTE (KnightsOnMintSt @ Jul 27, 2017 -> 09:33 AM) We just have to remember, come September, the AAA season is over. So does it hurt to pitch him in Chicago? I would lean towards no as of right now. The only downside of a september call-up would be additional service time. Meaning if they tried to save an additional year, he wouldnt be up until mid June next season. I think service time is worried about too much so I'd just bring him up for a sept call-up to pitch out of the pen. Maybe make one start if we have a double header or something.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 25, 2017 -> 12:18 PM) I really thought the Dragon Horn was going to be a thing and this seems like quite the reach in comparison. I guess we'll have to see how they use these giant crossbows. I keep going back to the wildfire in season 2 and maybe there will be some trick in how they leverage them that makes them far more effective. Except the guy who concocted the wildfire trick is now on the other side.

Bryant got ejected for arguing balls and strikes in case anyone is only following on here.

Does Tilson really still belong in the top 30 let alone 20? I think Zavala should have his spot. That top 30 is fun to look at though.

Ouch. 4 ks for Yoan

QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 24, 2017 -> 04:18 PM) So who the hell closes this out?? I swear to God if they trot out Clippard.. Swarzak will stay in

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 24, 2017 -> 03:28 PM) Guys I'm doin it - been in a meeting, anything cool aside from the Moncada single in the 3rd? Engel Home Run

After a great night on the farm last night (other than giolito), let's see what's in store for tonight. SCOREBOARD Charlotte at Scranton WB Lopez (6-5 3.78) hopefully his last start at AAA Birmingham vs Jackson Guerrero (6-8 3.80) Winston Salem vs Salem Dunning (3-4 3.07) Kannapolis vs West Virginia Valerio (2-1 2.45) Great Falls at Orem Comito (1-3 3.24) DSL Sox at DSL Mariners AZL Sox at AZL Cubs Crosstown Classic!
