Duke actually looking pretty good

Oh hey Duke in the 8th.. at least we have the top of the order to face their closer

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 6, 2015 -> 01:42 PM) By no means should he be guaranteed the starting spot next year. I still hope Micah is starting at 2nd next year. I just don't think Sanchez will ever hit enough to start. Great utility guy/late inning replacement but Micah was probably the only one hitting well outside of Avi when they sent him down.

Good ol Sanchez

Brantly looking a lot worse

Olt suddenly not looking so bad

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 6, 2015 -> 01:32 PM) More insulting worthless LaRoche at first laughing it up with Dyson. Wasn't the guy supposed to be a clubhouse presence? Seems to me like he doesn't give a f*** with his slow walk away from every K and refusal to try to go opposite field to beat a shift

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Sep 6, 2015 -> 12:52 PM) He has 12 as a leadoff guy. His job is to get on base, not hit homers, but he does anyway. There's no doubt in my mind that he'd be a 25+ homer guy if he tried to hit them out every at bat. You know he only hit 1 last year right? I think 15 is probably going to be what he gets this season and might end up as a career high.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 6, 2015 -> 12:51 PM) Eaton's gonna finish 2nd on team in homers Not exactly a bad thing. Would be nice to get another guy for lead off and let Eaton bat 2nd/3rd

Man Brantly can not hold up low and in

So if it's under 90mph Olt can hit

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Sep 6, 2015 -> 12:12 PM) Johnson has good command of his fastball and locatea his changeup well. His breaking ball leaves something to be desired though. Looks like the slider stays up too much, but even as is he probably would have pitched better than Shark this year.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Sep 6, 2015 -> 12:06 PM) Really not sure how you can say Avi has stink it up in the majors. Figuring it's his first full year offensively i'll take what he's given the sox for how many were crap for most of the year. He's still young and has potential. 0 plate discipline or pitch recognition and horrible defense makes a stinker in my book

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Sep 6, 2015 -> 12:05 PM) MJ sucks man. Let it go. MJ is probably the best hitter this system has developed in years lol

That was a pretty good indication of Carlos Sanchez the hitter right there lmfao

Too late to start a over/under on 4K's for Olt?

Brantly got the job done at least

Brantly not looking good either.. Really shows why guys like Avi Garcia can hit so well in AAA and stink it up in the majors considering how well Olt and Brantly did this year

Oh boy Olt...

Johnson still looks good to me. Really like the way he is attacking these guys and the velocity is definitely back.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 6, 2015 -> 11:23 AM) Olt Notes - swing looked huge, flying open, didn't look like he had a chance even against a moderate fastball. Maybe still talent there but swing and approach needs work. Swing kind of looks like a combination of Tyler Flowers and Josh Fields to me

Very impressive inning by Johnson.

I would imagine Olt is going to get every opportunity to show that he can be just terrible enough to start for this team in 2016.

Let him play 3rd for the rest of september, nothing to lose. If he is decent at defense and can hit .250/.320/.400 he is better than any other option we have next year

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Sep 4, 2015 -> 09:36 PM) I cold be wrong but I thought he had a 10 hit shutout in May or June. It was an oddity getting the shutout while allowing 10 hits. He shut out Houston and I'm pretty sure they were pretty hot when he did lol. Beat Keuchel too IIRC
