June 26, 20187 yr I feel like the Sox should have an overarching PR guy that only feeds injury info on prospects wrt to random subs in the minors (or not so random).

June 26, 20187 yr 3 minutes ago, fathom said: And huge games for Laz and Gonzalez Was just about to post about Laz. 4-4, 2 2B?! That'll work. Adolfo and Forbes with nice nights too. Damn near every player on that team. Edited June 26, 20187 yr by SoxAce
June 26, 20187 yr I know Great Falls doesn't mean much, but I was/am pretty intrigued by Stiever. Went 3.0 IP 0 H 1 BB 6 SO tonight. Assuming he's done.
June 26, 20187 yr Wow Yrizarri just went deep for a grand slam. Every player on the Dash with a hit now.
June 26, 20187 yr Are any of the college position players on the voyagers interesting to people? Tough to figure out the whole team at first.
June 26, 20187 yr Danny freaking Mendick just went yard in the tenth after booker tied the game with a double in the ninth. Mendick now has as many home runs (10) as he had all of last year in about a little over half as many games. At a more advanced level. In a difficult park for power.
June 26, 20187 yr Hopefully Weaver is alright. Got HBP and had to be pinch ran for and taken out the game.
June 26, 20187 yr Some of you might enjoy reading this summary of last night's offensive onslaught by the Dash, highlighting Laz Rivera's huge night. This guy is really intriguing. He wasn't highly touted, but his entire career, including his college and junior college days, is very impressive. I remember listening to Hostetler rave about him, last month. https://www.milb.com/milb/news/laz-rivera-paces-winston-salem-dash-with-career-night-at-playte/c-282919428 This is a very good scouting report, including good video: http://baseballcensus.com/2017/12/20/chicago-white-sox-laz-rivera-scouting-report-baseball-player-evaluation-video-december-2017/ Edited June 26, 20187 yr by Lillian

Wonder if his “high back elbow” has been changed in any way since last December?

June 26, 20187 yr A more recent scouting report with video on Rivera is here, from late April. I think his hit tool ceiling is much higher than 40, but 35 power seems about right.
