Robert grounds out in his first AB this morning.

Oh yeah. He was signing autographs for everyone that wanted one.

Had the opportunity to meet Jose Contreras on Saturday at the game in Kannapolis!

I'm thinking a nice game from Giolito today. 6.2IP, 2ER, 6K, 2BB.

There have been so many roster changes, and OF's going to the White Sox, and we still see no movement with Eloy getting a shot with the Knights. He currently is batting .328 with a .369 OBP while slugging .602 for a .970 OPS. I am not about rushing guys, but it seems like it his time for him to get tested at the AAA level.

So who do we think gets bumped from the Charlotte rotation with the addition of Stephens?

I think it's safe to say that Eloy has hit the "scary good" stage. There are a lot of good minor leaguers out there, but Eloy seems to be in that Acuna/Vlad Jr area where it's all but a lock that he'll be a beast at this point. And this isn't a small sample size at all. He did it all last year and his numbers this year are just incredible. Also important to note that Eloy will be 21 for the entire season this year, as he does not turn 22 until late November.

Booker with another hit. Now batting .347 on the season.

Would've been fun to see Kopech vs. Acuna in this series.

From the research that I have done so far, I am hoping for Alec Bohm. I think he could move pretty quickly through the organization.

2K's and 2BB's for Cease after 1.

Adolfo with another hit. Batting Average at .360 on the season.

Blake Rutherford with a double in the 1st inning. Now batting .353 on the season.

How awesome is this? Really great to see Davidson, Engel, and Anderson withe strong showings. Should provide a nice confidence boost for those guys.

I would guess that 2020 is the earliest we see Cease with the White Sox.

Predictions? Every team gets at least one so I think Abreu gets in for sure. I just have this feeling he is going to have a monster season. Giolito would be my dark horse pick as well if we get another one in. I like what he showed while up last season, and some of his stuff in the later Spring Training games was filthy.

Just trying to get some threads started since there are not a lot of new ones. Eloy or Kopech? Obviously Kopech will start in AAA, with Eloy in AA, but I could very well see a situation where Eloy just mashes to the point that hey're forced to call him up very early in the season.

Really surprised by the pitching. Really thought that we would see Dane Dunning in Birmingham, and then Stephens, Adams and Guerrero in Charlotte.

Good to be back!

I am on the side that I would like the White Sox to sign Moustakas. He fills a need, and I feel like if you can get him around 5yr 80mil, the Sox should hop on that. I also dont think a Moustakas signing means that we're out on Machado. We could easily move Moose to 1st or DH, or even slide Machado over to SS, if we were to sign him. White Sox have a lot of money and a lot of options.

I would guess its just because he has spent two full seasons in Kannapolis. Guys can really get forgotten about when they're not moving through the system. 2018 will be big for Micker. I am guessing that he will start in Winston-Salem. If he does well there, the buzz will really start picking up.
