That’s a name I haven’t heard in a while

Yeah, he’s been Johnny on the spot this season posting the links.

https://www.milb.com/scores/chicago-white-sox/2021-09-01 https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=09/01/2021 Several double headers today

Too bad we can’t find out anything about what type of stuff Vera had. Been waiting for him to start playing.

José Rodríguez got promoted to A+ and promptly put up a golden sombrero. ?

Cespedes was pulled in Game 1 after two ab’s, not in lineup in Game 2. Hope he’s not injured

Stiever off to a rocky start. Anyone know what his velocity has been this year? He’s been a shell of his former self.

Great to see all three making progress as the season wears on. End things on a high note with momentum heading into next year.

I hate to be a Debbie downer but it’s been a pretty empty batting average that has been fueled by a .529 babip. Pretty unsustainable, although I have been encouraged by his overall performance this year. Perhaps he’s the reason we were willing to send Madrigal away?

Eloy!!!! Not the right thread but the to Royals just walked Abreu to pitch to Eloy and he took them deep to left center for a 3 run HR. 459ft

It’s official, Yermin is stepping away from baseball. I hope he gets whatever help he needs and rebounds from this. I love the way he plays the game. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/31859170/chicago-white-sox-yermin-mercedes-recently-demoted-triple-stepping-aside-baseball

Nothing official but I just read on southsidesox news feed that he may be considering retirement??

He’s been mashing since his demotion. I’d rather see him spell Collins once a week instead of Seby.

He has a ways to go before passing Stiever or Lambert who both have better pure stuff. However he has really put himself on the map this year. I’m looking forward to how he performs in AAA in a hitters park.

My guess is that his defense is ahead of his offense at this point. This is pure speculation on my part, but, playing low A ball, they’ll let you kick the ball all over the infield as a defender if you really need the reps. By them playing him at DH frequently, I’d guess they’re not super concerned about his fielding ability. An alternative theory is that he is having some issues with his throwing arm and they just want to rest it. Again, I’m just speculating.

More or less, although if they were players who were super talented and in high demand, they would’ve gone earlier in the draft. Big time players get big time money, always have, always will. Most of these senior draft picks are just happy to get $10k and a chance.

Over a month now. Lots of HR’s, BB’s and K’s.

Wow, talk about moving the needle.

Rodriguez with another homer and 2 SB on the day. That’s 8hr and 18sb on the season for him. It would seem that he’s a pretty twitchy athlete with those power/speed numbers he puts up. He’s one of my favorite prospects to watch.

I don’t see Lamb as a part of the team’s future, as such I’d way rather see what Sheets brings to the table and let him get MLB at bats and coaching. With Abreu’s age advancing, Sheets could potentially be our 1b/DH of the future.

Maybe he can be a throw in to sweeten the pot in a bigger deal. I doubt we get anything for him straight up.

A power prospect is debuting at DH for WS today, really hope that game doesn’t get postponed.

Tatis 0-3 with 3k’s. Bust! ?

I’ll say it again, the sound his bat makes connecting with the ball is just different. He has bad swing and miss tendencies but his power is no joke.
