August 4, 20178 yr @ChiTribKane 3m White Sox signed RHP Al Alburquerque to a minor-league deal and assigned him to AAA Charlotte. And Casey Gillaspie activated from DL at AAA. The second part of that is more interesting to me.
August 4, 20178 yr James Fegan posted a lot of good vids for WSalem yesterday. Also made mention Collins said he was trying to fix the hitch but ditched it during season and will make adjustments in offseason.
August 4, 20178 yr Casey Gillaspie (@BigCaseDawg16) batting fifth and playing first base tonight for the #CLTKnights in his organization debut. #WhiteSox https://twitter.com/KnightsBaseball/status/...593899473793029

Also made mention Collins said he was trying to fix the hitch but ditched it during season and will make adjustments in offseason. Honestly, I thought he'd address the hitch this offseason, so glad to hear that's actually the case. I still have high hopes for Collins now that it seems like he just might sick at catcher.
August 4, 20178 yr Need swing doctors for Collins and Moncada from the RH side...not sure how easy either fix will be. Otoh, the arm bar issue with Burger so far seems to be null and void. Maybe it will start to show up hitting at higher levels against pitchers with 2-3 legit big league pitches. Oops, forgot Tim Anderson... Edited August 5, 20178 yr by caulfield12
August 5, 20178 yr Fulmer's stuff looks a little better today. He's throwing his fastball by hitters and is locating the breaking ball a bit better.
August 5, 20178 yr Eloy is a bad bad man. Dude is already a monster and only keeps improving. I feel confident we'll look back and think we did really well getting him for Q.

I feel confident we'll look back and think we did really well getting him for Q. In Jimenez's 20 games with the Dash: 352/418/690. 5 HRs, 1 3B, 7 2Bs, 18 RBI, 13 R, 8 BB. 10.12 BB%, 20.25 K%.

August 5, 20178 yr what's crazy is that the power should only get better with age and as he advances to higher levels. During the cubs rebuild they were fortunate to hit on 2 studs in rizzo and Bryant. They've hit on other guys to a lesser extent like Baez and russel (and now contreras who might be entering the stud phase), but you really need a couple of guys in the middle of the order - and Jimenez, moncada and whomever we take in the first round (assuming we take an offensive player) I think have a shot at that. Hopefully the other guys like Robert Collins burger and Rutherford etc can then fill in the gaps around them
August 5, 20178 yr Something that's good and scary is that if you notice in the Clarkin video, Eloy is nowhere near as muscular as he will likely get
