May 25, 20187 yr This may be hyperbolic, but when I watch Cease, I see a more surer thing to be a great big leaguer than Kopech. I just don’t know in which role.

May 25, 20187 yr If you watch this game and say there are 5 better pitching prospects in baseball, then that's surprising

Kopech hasn’t gotten on a run yet, though. Middle to end of last year he was unhittable. Glad we have both. Edited May 25, 20187 yr by Timmy U

At this point it's still a few years away but FFS baseball has to change this asinine system. Find an incentive for clubs to promote these guys for 100% baseball reasons, or as close to that 100% as you can. Probably should just give roster bonuses that have little if anything to do with arbitration.
May 25, 20187 yr Collins 3/3 2 BB. OPS at .906 now. Collins vs RHP on the year .289/.458/.557 1.015 OPS. Collins at AA (53 games) .259/.438/.464 .902 OPS. 53 BB. 57 K. 9 HRs. 36 runs. Edited May 25, 20187 yr by Sox Fan In Husker Land
May 25, 20187 yr Anthony Villa through 100+ PAs is somehow putting up a near .500 BABIP. That's just crazy. That dude needs to pick my lotto numbers.

May 25, 20187 yr The weird thing is that Kanny has one of the best records in the minor leagues of any team...and they have the least amount of "prospect talent" of any team in our system. Jirschele has (seemingly) done a very good job with them.

Jirschele has (seemingly) done a very good job with them. Also, they’re relatively old for the level. Laz Rivera is already 23, for instance and Dedelow was a senior sign as well. It’s like we’ve got two Hi A affiliates

Jirschele has (seemingly) done a very good job with them. They've got a very good OF, and their starting pitching has been fantastic. The Sox are going to get something that contributes to the ML team out of that Kanny rotation.
May 25, 20187 yr Ian Hamilton hunkered down in the bottom of the 9th and preserved the tie to put BIRM into the 10th. The big names should get an opportunity this inning to take the lead....well, maybe not, Schroeder/Polo/Mendick, hopefully one can get on to get the game to Collins/Jimenez/Rose.

May 25, 20187 yr Ian Hamilton strikes out the side for the Barons. Wouldn’t be shocked to see him in the bigs by the end of the year.

May 25, 20187 yr Collins with runners on 1st and 2nd, 2 outs. Fisher pinch ran and got cut down trying to get to 3rd on a ball hit on the infield... And he walks on 4 pitches to bring up Jimenez with bases loaded. 3 for 3, plus 3 walks. Edited May 25, 20187 yr by caulfield12
