August 12, 20187 yr The good news is we'll be shutting him down at 145 innings this year so that this groove won't continue next spring.

Not to mention the majority of his home games were played in a major pitcher's park in Birmingham. Only now is that starting to be offset with his playing in Charlotte

Kelenic, Gorman, and Turang all off to good starts. I do not trust late risers. I was on Gorman and Kelenic for Sox, but oh well. Do Austin Beck now
August 12, 20187 yr Author Notice Henzman came in after Hansen. Earlier, we heard they were limiting innings on Henzman. I bet we might see them piggybacked for awhile as they work with Hansen.
August 12, 20187 yr Somehow Eloy and Kopech have the most boxes to check of all prospects in baseball or any Sox prospects in history including Moncada, Giolito, etc. I am in the camp that the extra year of control does not have a huge impact at the end. It’s rather more beneficial now to let then go through the growing pains now and hope they will be in better position to be successful next season. Also as important is if they come up and show that they are the real deal, it will be sell this rebuild to the top tier free agents here in the offseason.
August 12, 20187 yr Bush and Sosa will be a fun pair to watch the next few years Sosa with two 2Bs, Bush with an RBI single Edited August 12, 20187 yr by BigHurt3515

August 12, 20187 yr 5 hours ago, Jack Parkman said: Why'd they pull him after 2? Makes no sense to me, unless he was hurt or battling his control. Seems pretty obvious to me. It's called baby steps. Can't expect the guy after major control problems just to go out and throw a gem. Let him take his time make progress every week even if it doen't show up in the box score. Tonight was a good beginning.
August 12, 20187 yr 5 hours ago, SoxAce said: 1.117 OPS in AAA, and seems like that's rising. Just insane. Any other prospect would've been long promoted but I understand what the Sox are doing. But he has nothing left to prove down there. I hope he can keeping wearing 16 as his uniform number in the majors. I always wore it because my old favorite Sox OF Ken Berry wore it.

August 12, 20187 yr KAN gonna be real interesting with Alfaro/Troutwine, Zangari, Nunez, Bush, Sosa, Walker, Dawkins, and Sowers

The big g question about Jimenez is will posters on this board give the sox organization credit for finally developing a hitter or will the credit go to the Cubs. Thus way posters can still complain that the Sox can't develop position players.
