Jurickson Profar was optioned to AAA by the Rangers. Maybe the Sox can try to swing a trade for him. He used to be a top 100 prospect after all and isn't that old.

 

I don't think he ends up going anywhere and I doubt we see him in back in the big leagues until September.

Where would he play?

Did he not hustle or something?

Second base maybe? Third if Frazier is traded? I really don't know. What I do know is that he still has more potential than Saladino/Davidson/Yolmer/Leury/etc even if his prospect status has faded in recent years.

And now Asche is in the line up today.

Sure but the Rangers aren't just going to let him go for nothing, and I'm not really interested in giving up anything meaningful for him at this point, he's shown nothing. Plus even if he figures it out he's a free agent pretty soon.

Yes, I am curious of the background of this story.

Nobody confirmed what internal matter w/ Cody Asche was. Watched AB, after K on pitch in dirt, didn't try for 1st. May have been that.

With Asche you not only get the career 670 OPS, but also apparently a professionalism problem. #DualThreat

If that is the case, good for Rick and the staff of not making it public business.

I thought his name came up in the Rios trade often...maybe Dementia is setting in, been one of those days.....how f'd up though if Leury Garcia has a more prominent career than Profar.

For all you stat geeks out there looking for some stat porn, just an FYI - Tommy Kahnle has a negative FIP and xFIP right now

Through today, Derek Holland's K-rate is at 20.2 percent. Hasn't been this high since he was at 21.2 in 2013. #WhiteSox

They've had practice.

Micker Adolfo has made big leaps. Looks much better on both sides of the ball. Something has clicked there.

Well, if the 20 year-old Adolfo has perhaps turned a corner and is putting himself on a projectable path to a high ceiling MLB career, and if the team is able to sign the 19 year-old Luis Robert, that could be the makings of some kind of outfield a few years down the road.

Don't forget 25 year-old Avisail Garcia. That's like, 30 combined future all-star appearances from an outfield. Ridiculous.

The average is up near .300, and the K numbers are coming down a little, but still very high.

The problem has never been talent l, it's been his ability to stay healthy

Made me laugh.
