southsider2k5 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 QUOTE (bmags @ Oct 26, 2017 -> 09:22 AM) I hadn't really expected DR winter league to be very good competition, but with finally focusing on it some good prospects and journeyman play down there. Probably more "pitchers" than "throwers" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just about to come and post that. What more can he do... I think this kid will be the best Sox hitter since Konerko. Perhaps since...Big Frank himself. I can see 310/380/600 lines in his prime. At worst he's 270/350/550. At worst. Edited October 28, 2017 by chitownsportsfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I'm going to be disappointed if he's not a .600 hitter in the major leagues at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the optimism, but there is no way the FLOOR of a minor league player, no matter how good, is a .900 OPS in the majors. I agree the ceiling on his offensive abilities rivals any minor leaguer, but I've seen way too many can't-miss phenoms miss.

KnightsOnMintSt Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I wonder if there is a chance that we see Eloy in Chicago before September. Have to think he'll make it to Charlotte fairly quickly. If he continues to crush the ball, maybe we see him with the White Sox in August?

I think there is an absolute change he makes it up sometime in the summer. I'd rather he start at AA, and end in AAA, but at some point he may force the hand.

Trading Quintana was tough, but Eloy is exactly the kind of player who you can plug in as a middle of the order bat moving forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I can't wait to see the ZIPS projections for Eloy next year. I can see 270/310/440 which is pretty remarkable for an age 21 projection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope Rick sticks to his word about not rushing these guys. I honestly don't doubt Eloy couldn't handle it but I'd rather see him in AA even if it's only (likely) for a couple of months to accumulate PA's and experience. AA is probably the biggest jump in the minors. Same with Robert with the A- or A+ decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AA is probably the biggest jump in the minors. Same with Robert with the A- or A+ decision. Eloy is ready to run. Unleash him in AA for a minute, promote him to AAA in June, and he's in Chicago by August.
