Sleepy Harold

Oh for sure, I get why they did it in theory, I just think it was poor handling. José got a nice paybump for a week so I'm happy for him there.

Jose had a horrible start to the season coming back from a broken hamate. The last month he was more of the player we were accustomed to seeing, an .888 OPS and a 132 wRC+. I understand the 40man aspect of it, but I think their point was if they literally just wanted to call someone up as a warm body on the bench, why not call up literally anyone else (like Erik Gonzalez or Yolbert) and just DFA them when/if you need the spot? They didn't need to promote him to sit on his ass for a week while he was in a groove at the plate in Birmingham.

doesn't help when the three of your top four prospects didn't see game action until practically June

Popeye coming back to B'ham

I don't care how many games back they are until they're no longer under .500. Sixth worst record in baseball at nearly the halfway point and 11 under, but hey, Luis looks great though and I'm totally here for it!

Colson is DHing tonight, so far 2-2 with 2 BBs, 2B, R, and 3 RBI

I rrrrreeeeallly wanted PCA in that draft

Yeah broken hamate ended his season early last year and had a leg issue during ST 2022.

Believe it's an oblique injury for Sosa. José has a .302/.330/.558 line over the last month, so it's more encouraging than the full season line would suggest. If they really need an infielder I'd rather see Rodriguez over Yolbert or Erik Gonzalez or some other AAAA fodder. Let the kids play, this team stinks so this at least piques my interest.

My guy did it!

He (and Vera) were sent there on rehab assignments when their season started two weeks ago, although both have yet to get into a game for whatever reason.

Prior to last year he always hit at every level though so I personally wouldn't label him as "streaky". His power binges are most certainly streaky so I'm with you there. Regardless, he seems to be on a definite heater right now which I love to see.

Just legged out an infield single as well, Popeye seems to be heating up after a slow start.

Ramos seems to be putting good wood on the ball this week, hopefully a sign that he's shaking off the early season (for him) rust.

Agreed, he also jumped on BAs updated top 30, going from unranked to 20.

Hostetler was shifted over to special advisor to Sr vp/gm with an emphasis in pro scouting in July 2019, which we all know how that's gone the last number of years.

Now a team in the third largest media market doesn't have a beat reporter covering one of its baseball teams on a major sports media outlet. White Sox fandom is just exhausting.

I'd like to believe that this is Rick Hahn's fault too.

Abraham Nunez 3-4 with a 3B, 2R & 3 RBI

Up the middle talent, please and thank you

Seeing how many players make up both the DSL & ACL rosters at the moment really reiterates how badly they could use second teams in these complex leagues.
