July 15, 20214 yr https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=07/15/2021 https://www.milb.com/scores/chicago-white-sox/2021-07-15 DSL already won, think their games are early. Stiever needs a good outing for Charlotte.
July 15, 20214 yr Yermin continues to be scorching hot. Entered tonight with a 160 wRC+ in AAA and he's 1-1 with a 2rbi double tonight.
July 16, 20214 yr Pilkington with 58 Ks to 51 IP, 0.97 WHIP., 0.175 BAA. He's 23, so it's not like he's too old for AA. Has he put himself on the map as a legitimate prospect this year? His stuff always seemed underwhelming from reports. Impressive numbers.

July 16, 20214 yr I remember some writer mentioned he had a velo increase along with McClure. Sox biomechanics work is helping them find velo.

Don't know much about the author (he writes for Southside Sox, hosts the Locked On Brewers podcast, and seems to follow the braves system as well. This dude follows many teams apparently), but he says Pilkington has a plus-plus changeup. Great to hear he is doing so well. https://www.southsidesox.com/2021/6/22/22536031/konnor-pilkington-white-sox-the-best-pitching-prospect-nobody-is-talking-about

Time is of the essence with his lack of options. 14 hours ago, ron883 said: Pilkington with 58 Ks to 51 IP, 0.97 WHIP., 0.175 BAA. He's 23, so it's not like he's too old for AA.

Of course he was 4 up 4 down when the game got bagged yesterday. I am not giving up on Lambert (still so close to TJ and such a weird recovery) or Stiever but the Sox need some depth for the rotation so hopefully Pilkington continues to develop. I imagine one of Lambert/Stiever gets moved this month too.
July 16, 20214 yr More of the same at Kanny... Ramos getting his walks, Krogman walking and K'ing, Mendoza keeps getting his.

Looking ahead, the Sox hand is kind of forced to make some judgement on Ramos and others in A ball. I imagine the Sox send Montgomery/Kath to play the left side of the infield in the ACL at least to start but they'll be in Kanny eventually and I imagine the Sox anticipate bringing them through the system together as the left side of the infield if at all possible. There is going to be some movement soon. I am interested in seeing how the Sox handle all of Yolbert Sanchez/Ramos/Rodriguez/Sosa/Gladney when Montgomery/Kath come along. Should be some good insight in who the Sox are prioritizing.
July 16, 20214 yr 2 hours ago, steveno89 said: Is Ramos capable in the field? Huge difference to his prospect status vs. if he can only DH My guess is that his defense is ahead of his offense at this point. This is pure speculation on my part, but, playing low A ball, they’ll let you kick the ball all over the infield as a defender if you really need the reps. By them playing him at DH frequently, I’d guess they’re not super concerned about his fielding ability. An alternative theory is that he is having some issues with his throwing arm and they just want to rest it. Again, I’m just speculating.
