Engel selected for all-star game saturday night. also leyer.

Prefer Kent Hrbek

Adam Engel. His speed and defense are intriguing. But will her ever hit and get on base enough to be a quality every day player?

Average age of Hawk, Stone, Farmio, DJ and Bill Melton (CSN shows) is nearly 66 Hard to see how this is a winning strategy to cultivate younger fans.

Received my copy of Baseball America today with the Top 20 lists for every minor league. Somebody has already posted the lists from the Arizona and Pioneer Leagues. Sox fared poorly at the four other affiliations. SOUTH ATLANTIC (one player) Spencer Adams, RHP, ranked 16th Red Sox have 3 of the top 5 and four of the top 10 CAROLINA (two players) Trey Michalczewski, 3b, ranked 11th Adam Engel, CF, ranked 14th. Indians and Red Sox each had 2 of Top 10 SOUTHERN LEAGUE (two players) Tim Anderson, SS, ranked 8th. Frankie Montas, RHP, ranked 17th Twins had top two, three of first six and four of top 9. INTERNATIONAl LEAGUE (no players) Yankees had three of top 10. Final summary: One Top 10 prospect at top four levels of the minor leagues.

Avi, Jermaine and Magglio don't make that play. Maybe Ken Berry. Keep working on controlling that strike zone young man.' There's a spot for you in my lineup.

hearing that Jacob May no longer going to AFL. Playing in some international event or league. Adam Engel is taking his place.

more disturbing: One more year of LaRoche or two more years of Duke?

Baseball America often does not embrace White Sox prospects. Be interesting to see where they rank Adams, Michalczewski, Anderson, Montas and May.

Shark has waited a long time for this moment. He's not going to take the QO and risk getting $16 and burying himself next season. My guess is that his agent planted that story with Heyman -- and they are confident they can convince one GM they are getting a guy determined to bounce back and deliver.

Clark did not allow a home run this season over nearly 90 innings. gave up less than one hit per inning while averaging nearly 9Ks per 9. Big kid -- 6-3, 225. As a left-hander, he'll get his chance.

4 games against the Phillies, 2 home and 2 away 3 against the Braves. 3 against the Marlins. can't get 10 easier games than that.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Sep 8, 2015 -> 03:56 AM) If he doesn't get traded, he'll be the Sox everyday 3B in a few years. Other than Kenny Williams, who would want to trade him?

Don't they only have to offer him one year. They do that. He declines. Draft pick on the way.

Where are they going to play Micah? Will he have the courage to use him at DH?

A Fab Five from the last 20 years: Navarro Dunn Keppinger Linebrink Rauch

maybe Buerhle can put a good word in for him -- since he made the call to extend Danks, not No. 56.

Johnson had a no-hitter for 4 2/3. Then he gave up a home run.

Keppinger, Emilio, LaRoche. That's a lot of guys The Chairman has paid to do nothing. I wonder if he is ever going to call Kenny and Hahn into his office and say, "Fellas...."

Bye Bye Shark.

Adam Engel. Leads Carolina League in steals (49/11) and runs scored (75, ahead by five). Has OBP pushing .350 (with 53 walks, a nice figure for a leadoff guy, especially in our system). Soli fielder. Will be 24 in December. Time to see what the Sox have.

position player -- alvarez. Although I have to admit, i'm intrigued by two guys who didn't make the list -- Jacob May and Jake Peter. pitching -- Adams.

what does scott boras say?

jacob may 1st home run. hope that kid makes it.

nice to see jacob may back at birmingham with a single
