Very happy to see former White Sox farm hand Brandon Brennan debut in The Show with Seattle in Tokyo with an nice outing, good guy

Tons of former Sox in that Tokyo Series (Narvaez, Brennan, Soria, Bassitt, Phegley, Semien)

Who's the Sox connection in SEA and CIN? SEA recently added Brennan, Danish, Leyer, Polo, and traded for Narvaez...CIN recently added Powers, Hawkins, Logan Taylor (now released), Leyer (before he signed with SEA)

Is it Buddy Bell in CIN? What about SEA?

How that guy was ever a top 100 prospect is mind-blowing to me.

We lost the Jennings trade.

I disagree vehemently.

           It's been 5 years or so since we've been relevant. We have our good prospects reaching the majors or the high levels AA-AAA.

  There is a good chance we'll know whether or not it's going to work out pretty soon. Don't know whether to be excited, or program

From the perspective of someone who deals with young adults, this just isn't funny at all.

Jake Elmore was traded to Pittsburgh as well. Sucks Alvarez couldn't make it. I always rooted for that guy.

Heard it from a Burdi

Any updates on Burdi's velocity? Haven't seen much since the AFL.

Zack? They shut him down during the spring, have no idea where he's at right now.

Can Zack Collins fit into a Carlos Santana type career trajectory or is his defense at C that far behind?

Eric A Longenhagen

12:22

He's worse than Santana back there and not nearly as good a 1B glove

How many healthy ABs for Luis Robert before he starts to make major moves up THE BOARD?

Eric A Longenhagen

It's more about the bat-to-ball stuff than health. I've seen him plenty to know what the physical tooks are, I'm just not sure how that bat path ends up playing. It's Delmon Youngish.

But we'll see. The power is huge, he's great in CF and that's typically enough

 

Edited April 5, 20196 yr by DirtySox

Delmon Young was a league average hitter for his career. If Robert does that but with more power he's an above average hitter who plays great defense. Sounds good to me!

Burdi was shut down? That can’t be good. Was really looking forward to seeing what he could do.

Yeah, he’s got an oblique or something.  Last I heard he was going to stay in extended a while, but it didn’t sound serious 

Who else can we expect up from the minors this year that we can get excited about besides Cease? Zavala and/or Collins?
