July 20, 20187 yr Stephens at AAA, Cease at AA http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?cid=&lid=&org=145&sc=&sid=milb&t=affiliate&ymd=20180720 https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/prospects/stats/affiliates?date=07/20/2018 Log saying Kubat for A+ Edited July 20, 20187 yr by BamaDoc
July 20, 20187 yr https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-fringe-five-baseballs-most-compelling-fringe-prospects-116/ Mendick is back in. I paid attention to him so much more last year, largely due to the dearth of talent in W-S offensively. This year the power he has shown in birmingham has been eye-opening, though his average has risen and fell. It's starting to feel at any point like he may just figure it all out and take off.

I know someone said the other day how DSL stats are so weird since literally all we can do is look at the box scores. I wonder if bad umpiring is also a factor in pitchers sometimes having crazy walk totals down there.

Yeah, I don’t know how he doesn’t fly through the system if he never strikes out, gets on base all the time, and plays solid defense. Winston-Salem will be in the playoffs, but I don’t doubt he could handle AA very soon.

I dunno if he's a MLB quality SS with the arm concerns, but makes sense to try him there. Then they can move TA to catcher in 2021. Edited July 20, 20187 yr by chitownsportsfan
July 20, 20187 yr Stephens really seems to have the makings of an innings eater. Back of the rotation at worst? Peripherals are solid this year. Seems he could be up along with Kopech in the near future.

July 20, 20187 yr Just now, Chicago White Sox said: Would you bump Covey then? If Covey keeps spinning his wheels, I'd entertain it.
July 20, 20187 yr Oh god, did Zangari get injured? He was just pinch hit for in the middle of an at-bat.

July 21, 20187 yr Quick math but I'm pretty sure Collins is batting .185 without Eloy in Birmingham and .284 with him there. Probably coincidental but wonder if having someone on base in front of him more often prevented fewer shifts and got him more fastballs.
July 21, 20187 yr Cease with a rough first inning. Not surprising given he’s pitched like one inning in the past 13 days. Edited July 21, 20187 yr by Chicago White Sox
