January 5, 20206 yr Sleepy Harold makes his FutureSox debut! Give his story a read, which focuses on a potential diamond in the rough among Sox prospects, HERE.

January 5, 20206 yr I was pretty adamant about Rodriguez in the FutureSox thread most of the year. Hell I made a thread about him towards the end of the year here. Needless to say I like his start and the tools.
January 5, 20206 yr 74 ks to 18 bb in the lowest minor league levels isn't a good sign. Hopefully he can improve on this. Seems like he has a good swing. Edited January 5, 20206 yr by Chisox378

January 5, 20206 yr Thanks all, I'm (as well as @SoxAce and the rest of the Rodriguez STANs) are hoping for big things from Jose this year. 1 hour ago, Chisox378 said: 74 ks to 18 bb in the lowest minor league levels isn't a good sign.

Now we've solved the mystery of why Tatis was traded...his numbers in AZ (extended spring training) were fed into a spreadsheet that spit out "strikes out too much, doesn't walk enough." Boom. All of White Sox L.A. prospects gone. "You don't walk off the island," as they say in the Dominican. Statniks/OPS devotees unhappy.

January 6, 20206 yr 17 hours ago, Quin said: Holy hell, learn other statistics and evaluation tools. Especially when scouting teenagers. You may be right when considering 18 year olds k to walk, but once a player gets in 20's the k to w you see in the minors usually carries over to the majors. And a 5 to 1 k to walk rate is not a hitter I'm interested in, or if I am he better hit with the average of Tim Anderson.

Great Falls will be loads of fun, presumably, next year.
