Chicago White Sox

Physically power may be the last tool to come, but we’re not talking about a guy who lacks raw power. Sheets is a well built kid with plenty of strength who hit 20+ homers last year as a junior in college. The concern is over his inability to translate that to in-game power at the moment. I’m not panicking just yet, but if he doesn’t hit double digit homers this year that’s a really bad sign.

What makes you think they’re leaning to brining him up soon?

Hasn’t blown it yet ?

No, he’s got this.

Eloy had a .288 ISO coming into today and has already added a HR & 2B. Kid is a fucking beast. Really think he will be a Manny Ramirez type player with time.

Jimenez with HR #6! Collins with another K.

Let’s hold off getting too excited about the 2017 class. Burger injured, may or may not ever be the same. Sheets is showing excellent plate discipline but limited power. The rest of the guys are doing well in Low A. I’m not trying to be a negative Nancy here, but way too early to jump to any conclusions with this group.

Ugly start for Kopech, pulled after three innings & 66 pitches.

There’s no difference. You get an extra of team control if you wait like 18 days or so into the season, so after the third week of the season it’s all the same.

If both could develop into quality LH bullpen options even better. But I’ll be happy if even just one can provide some certainty heading into next offseason.

Cease should also be starting today.

The peripherals are really good though, seems like he had the same problem last year.

He’s having a nice little season, just a little bad BABIP luck.

Yes this, thank you!

With three HRs & 5 BBs during that same time period.

Cause he had one bad game? You sure like to live in the moment.

Anderson will be, potentially Abreu.

Is Gonzalez hurt? He’s sat two straight games.

He doesn’t seem to get a lot of loft on the ball with his swing. I’m not going to panic yet as the plate discipline has been elite, but he’s got to start hitting some HRs in the near future.

How do India’s tool compare to Bohm’s? I get the lack of track record is concerning, but good god his 2018 numbers are absolutely insane. If the tools are legit, he suddenly becomes a solid underslot option.

Stephens with 7 K through four. He should hopefully get a bump to Charlotte in the next couple weeks.

Kid has 8 doubles, I’m sure it can’t be pathetically low.

Jimenez is on a 52 HR pace over a 600 PA season. Kid is a fucking stud.

You also don’t know what level of control Hahn had during those early years and how much Reinsdorf influenced decision making. We know the front office proposed rebuilding a while ago and it seems like Jerry told them to make one last run at things but didn’t really give them the budget to accomplish that task. And by no means am I giving Hahn a free pass, but right now I’m in wait and see mode. I like the moves he’s made so far. Having said, if the rebuild fails, he will most definitely be gone and deservedly so.

I have not heard that about Rutherford’s arm. Everything I’ve read has mentioned LF being his likely home due to limited arm strength. Admittedly I haven’t seen his arm myself so I can’t really argue one way or the other, just sharing what I’ve read.
