August 8, 20178 yr A little under one month left in the season for the Minor Leagues. Do we see any of our top prospects earn a promotion? Would have to think that Jimenez, Burger, Hansen, Kopech, Stephens, and Dunning could all be in line for a promotion to end the season.

Would have to think that Jimenez, Burger, Hansen, Kopech, Stephens, and Dunning could all be in line for a promotion to end the season. With as full as some of the levels are, and with as many guys have been cut in the last month or so, I am guessing that there won't be a lot of last season move ups. It might be different if some of the upper levels had playoff teams. As of right now the only playoff team we have is Kannapolis, so moving kids out of there would actually mean them losing ABs and playoff experience. The White Sox do seem to like their guys to get that experience, so I see zero chance that guys like Sheets, Adolfo, Fisher, Rutherford, Burger, Gonzalez, etc who are in Kanny are promoted.

I do not foresee many late season promotions as well^ Expect guys like Burger, Sheets, Adolfo, etc to be in Winston Salem to start next season
