May 25, 20187 yr Just now, caulfield12 said: Yeah, Eloy!!!!!! Careful, he's already lost two hits today on the tracker
May 25, 20187 yr 2 minutes ago, DirtySox said: 3-3, 3 BBs for Collins. Walk rate up to 25.8% for May. Eloy with a 2 run single gives Birmingham the lead.

This is what happens when you draft as many college players as the Sox do It was either Eric or Kiley in a chat that said they don't really look twice to see how a major college player is doing in low A.
May 25, 20187 yr Meanwhile, Rose has managed to leave 8 men on base despite hitting a two run bomb... Let's see if Hamilton can manage a 2 inning save.
May 25, 20187 yr I wondered how Hamilton already gave up a double, then I remembered the dumb new rule change in the minors this year.
May 25, 20187 yr 29 pitches already for Hamilton...struggling to close things out, runners on 1st and 2nd, just one out and lead cut down to one.

May 25, 20187 yr God what a bust...right him off, can't believe the sox FO can't target real hitters and trusted the trackman data; everyone knows even if hes lucky he winds up at DH, please tell e the last defensive catcher the sox developed.....stupid just stupid kid is going to get passed up by Zavala... ? /s I will be patiently waiting for the josh nelsons & larry's of the world to eat crow when Collins becomes the next Mickey Tettleton

I dont take anything he says to mean much

Now that Jim went back to Sox Machine and took Josh and Pnoles with him SSS is a wasteland and Sox Machine isn't really must read either imo. Right now Future Sox and Fegan at the Athletic are where it's at imo. Soxtalk seems to have had a bit of a renaissance as well. Seems we have some new blood around here.

Yeah I agree, Fegan is doing work and future sox as a resource is much better. Miss the days of the cheat..

I haven't seen anything from outside the org that indicates he will be a catcher, but his batting eye is MLB ready so maybe he can be a sort of poor mans Carlos Santana and fake it back there for a few years.

SSS is basically unreadable now. I do not like/get the humor of the new editor there.
May 25, 20187 yr Elevating kenwos terrible opinions just because he commented a lot ... I don’t know how to finish that thought just that it ruins both sites

I don’t know how to finish that thought just that it ruins both sites Lol...so very true. It’s like if we let Greg write articles for FutureSox about how dumb prospects are and how the key to the draft is to always draft that year’s Mike Trout.

I haven't seen his catching, so until the org moves him off the position, I'm going to remain optimistic that he can stick there. His bat is valuable, but it's so much more valuable if he can stick at C. A 4 WAR bat at 1B (full season) is a 6-7 WAR bat at C (full season).
May 25, 20187 yr Must have real cool for Rodon to pitch to his college battery mate again, Austin had a great game Great start from Rodon, can't wait to see him back, people forget how young he is
May 25, 20187 yr What a game from Collins, can't wait to see him on the SouthSide Real nice start from Dunning, Hamilton is gonna be nice too, backend bullpen type
May 25, 20187 yr Jirschele really has a great team, second best record in MiLB Luis Gonzalez really raking too, great season Can't wait to see who their All Stars are, I'll guess Rivera, Villa, Gonzalez, Blackman, Dedelow, Henzman, Parke, Johnson, and Battenfield
