  1. QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 22, 2015 -> 09:52 AM) LOL, looks like the auto-linker from Baseball Reference is picking up the Spencer Adams who played major league ball before. He died in 1970. Damn you BR! Haha

  3. QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 21, 2015 -> 12:55 PM) Fulmer and Jay are my top 2 choices right now. Sounds like you will get your wish. Keith Law said in his chat that Fulmer is option A, and Jay is option B for the White Sox.
  4. http://www.chicagonow.com/future-sox/2015/...s-lead-the-way/ Recap posted. Very encouraging stuff from Guererro and Michalczewski.
  5. http://www.chicagonow.com/future-sox/2015/...-fry-and-lowry/ Recap posted. Fry and Lowry highlight an otherwise meh day.
  6. Wow! Surprised by this but probably the right call by correcting their earlier mistake. Hope Johnson takes this well and works his ass off in Charlotte.
  7. QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 12, 2015 -> 07:37 PM) Nick Capra (Player Development Director) and Kirk Champion (Field Coordinator) sat in with 3 blogs to answer some questions about the Sox minor leaguers. Future Sox was among them. Read here what they had to say, with some expected - and perhaps unexpected - statements on some key prospects. Thoughts? It is encouraging to hear Capra thinks Rondon is improving from the left side, since his left-handed batting is what is suppressing his offensive stats.
  8. QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 13, 2015 -> 10:55 AM) I think SSS is far, far too early in calling for this. Johnson's ceiling is much higher. Obviously the glove needs work, but I think he needs to the time to make it work now that he's in Chicago. Just my opinion. I think he's done very well at the plate so far. I'm not questioning the ceiling, he's incredibly talented. I question the decision to throw him into the fire when he obviously needed refinement on defense and on the base paths. Not sure what the best course of action is now.
  9. http://www.southsidesox.com/2015/5/13/8596...e-sox-one-to-go This post pretty much highlighted all my concerns with going with Micah Johnson over Sanchez. While Johnson is a special talent, dude is just raw.
  10. I know the Sox bullpen has been solid, but man what does Cleto have to do to get a promotion? He has a 0.47 ERA now.
  11. QUOTE (LDF @ May 11, 2015 -> 01:13 PM) then i was wrong, i was looking at the weak point in the sox system. if not infield, then it is outfield. i don't know. i am just throwing some ideas and hope i can be lucky on one. I think unless a prospect is pushing the door on the majors, you shouldn't get too crazy about learning different positions. In Alvarez's case, he was away from baseball so long, I am sure he is doing his best to learn shortstop. It seems like that position is incredibly valuable right now with Addison Russell, Franklin Barreto, and Marcus Semien being young shortstops that were centerpieces to big trades recently.
  12. Jordan Guerrero is a stud.

    Great night from Anderson but needs to starting walking. He only has two walks so far the entire season, I would imagine more advanced pitchers would not give him much to hit.
  15. He is definitely a legit prospect because of his defense but I am not convinced he will ever hit enough. The one thing that might save his offense is if he gives up switch hitting, I assume the Sox are holding out hope it improves because of his age. In 2014 he hit .226/.287/.251 as a LHB and .273/.350/.438 as a RHB and thus far in 2015 he has hit .200/.300/.200 as a LHB and .333/.360/.667 as a RHB. Those are some very dramatic splits and I'd be interested to see how his offense would improve as a full time RHB.

    QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 07:52 AM) Recap posted. I've reached out to the Barons to see if they are willing to say what is up with Montas, but I doubt they will in this case. I'll ask Sanburn about his start and see if he will say anything revealing.

    QUOTE (oldsox @ Apr 21, 2015 -> 07:15 AM) K. Walker has come back. Hitting in the .240's with 7 bags. That sounds like the old Keenyn Walker...
