Wait you didn’t really think a Sox prospect was going to come up and dominate right away, did you?  

I thought Eloy might buck that trend, but obviously I’m not overly surprised.  He’ll be fine in the long-run.

Cordell can work a count.

This guy is leaving entirely too many pitches up and over the plate, come on make him pay Leury!

That was a cookie. Oh well. Still better than palka

Cordell just missed hitting that one 500ft

They’re already using Collins and Zavala at 1B / DH though.

If I'm reading the stats right it looks like Zavala has only DHd for 2 games, Collins 0. If Charlotte is only carrying those 2 catchers, they may not want to "lose" the DH spot if they have something happen to the catcher. If they want those 2 playing every day, they probably need a 3rd catcher.

That makes sense.

If he's hoping to make the major leagues, maybe the White Sox are starting to ponder doing something with Castillo?

But they wouldn't tell him that.

Maybe they also told him they wanted him to work with the young catchers/gave him a little extra minor league money to do so

Does it really matter that much in AAA to carry an extra catcher?

He's really not noted for that, and you still want the other guys behind the plate as much as possible if you think they may have a future back there. That would leave this guy very little playing time. So, to me, it must mean someone isn't long at being primarily a catcher. Maybe they are now so excited about Collins' bat, they don't want him to take the beating behind the plate.

Please sign Castellanos to replace Abreu Rick.

I could see the White Sox wanting Charlotte to make the IL playoffs. 

Nice play Yolmer.

Nice job by Yolmer and Tim to recognize they had plenty of time to make the turn as long as they got the out at 2B

Now would be a nice time for Yolmer to remind people that he is in fact a solid baseball player. 

How can they not square this guy up?  

Wow, I can’t believe that play was that close.

Alonso almost got thrown out lol damn

Come on Eloy...do something here bud!

See, this would make more sense to me.

Eloy ABs are quickly losing must-see status for me. Just like Yoan's last year. Hope that changes.

Tim's, on the other hand...
