April 9, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 8, 2017 -> 08:26 PM) Homer for Delmonico. Probably my third favorite minor league hitter after Moncada and Collins Definitely my third favorite hitter after those two. Can't wait for him & Moncada to be up in a few months. The major league is going to be a ton of fun to watch once those two plus Lopez, Fulmer, & Burdi are all up.
April 9, 20178 yr Dunning will move fast...typically, staying through the league's All-Star game in June and then they'll push him up and maybe he ends in Winston-Salem or even Birmingham depending on which team's in the playoffs in early Sept. They're certainly in no rush, as they already have Kopech, Fulmer, Giolito and Adams ahead of him. Moncada actually has the lowest OPS of those 2-6 hitters at Charlotte. 1. W.Garcia 1.480 2. Hayes/Delmonico 1.458 4. Kevan Smith 1.283 5. Moncada 1.217 (8/16, only 3 k's) Edited April 9, 20178 yr by caulfield12
April 9, 20178 yr Worrying about Giolito is totally warranted but Fulmer was throwing 90-91 last night and Lopez 92-93 on Thursday according to that Charlotte gun.
April 9, 20178 yr I think it's fair to worry about Gio already. On a positive note, I really believe we have the best positional and pitching prospect in baseball.
April 9, 20178 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 9, 2017 -> 12:54 AM) Charlottes gun has been off over the years By 3-5 mph? That's not me trying to be an ass that's a legit question.

The logical explanation is the gun is 2-3 mph slow. That would put Fulmer at 92-94, Lopez at 94-96 and Giolito at 91-93, roughly. Fulmer pretty consistently threw 92-93 last year in the big leagues.

April 9, 20178 yr QUOTE (Dizzy Sox @ Apr 8, 2017 -> 09:06 PM) Charlotte vs. the Sox...who wins? The White Sox organization. We're very early in the rebuild process, but Charlotte's play is currently very encouraging. I would expect the Knights to be good for a while as we cycle in new young talent Edited April 9, 20178 yr by Sox-35th
April 9, 20178 yr Willy Garcia was once a solid prospect with the Rays. Maybe the Sox have hit lightning in the bottle with him. Edited April 9, 20178 yr by maggsmaggs
April 10, 20178 yr I'm watching the Kopech start right now, and I am surprised on how many called strikeouts he's getting. I assumed this was just AA players swinging through 102 MPH cheese. But he appears to be acing them on fastballs away.
