Not complaining, just haven’t really followed him as much as most prospects we’ve had over the last decade. I actually haven't really paid much attention to him until this season when I noticed the absurd walk rate. I haven't seen much pop at all though. He's not hitting gappers, but seems to spray plenty of line drive singles.
April 26, 20223 yr Author No MILB.TV feed at Asheville for the Dash. Colas and Ramos back in the lineup together though.

But Sanchez definitely reminds you to give a lot of deference to the guys Paddy does sign. It was hard to look at a 21 year old coming out of cuba who had slash lines of .255/.299/.328 and believe his bat could ever hang in the big leagues. Yet here he is on the verge and largely based on the skill of his bat, not his glove. And you could say the same of Yoelkis power. He muscled up, but did not hit homers in Cuba, a league we were told was so watered down it was worth taking stats with a grain of salt. Yet he hit more homers last year than his entire Cuban career. The guy can look at these guys in workouts and project, man. Marco Paddy is well respected but the strategy is often poor as we've both noted numerous times. I think the White Sox will do an awesome job once there's an international draft. What do you think about that?
April 26, 20223 yr Author Ramos HR. To center field apparently. Wish we had video. Edited April 26, 20223 yr by DirtySox
April 27, 20223 yr Author What Ramos is doing so far in High-A as a 20 year old is pretty damn exciting.
April 27, 20223 yr Author Colas RBI double. Never would I have thought I'd be more interested in the minor league teams versus this year's White Sox team.
April 27, 20223 yr Why is Romy on the bench so often? I know it’s been a rough start but let the kid play.
April 27, 20223 yr Author Ramos somehow singles on a fly ball to second it says. Edited April 27, 20223 yr by DirtySox
April 27, 20223 yr Author Seems the Dash have batted around in the 9th and Ramos hits another single. Should finish 4-6 with a a HR, 2B. Edited April 27, 20223 yr by DirtySox

He was quite good last year offensively for his age with a bum shoulder and is starting to really show his offensive ceiling now healthy. I really think the bat can be special. The bat speed and raw power are legit IMO. All comes down can he stick at 3B and based on my brief time watching him and scouting reports it feels greater than 50% he can. To me he’s a hold because I see his prospect status exponentially increasing with a promotion to AA and any sort of success.

To me he’s a hold because I see his prospect status exponentially increasing with a promotion to AA and any sort of success. I'm guessing Jimmy doesn't see him sticking at 3B. His bat looks absolutely special so far, though. We haven't had many guys destroy this much while being young for the league.
April 27, 20223 yr I just think when you’re trying to win a title, Bryan Ramos’ inclusion in a deal shouldn’t be the hold up.

If this rumored set-up happens: https://www.mlb.com/news/international-draft-cba-negotiations?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage I think that would definitely fix it, to me. Biggest issue has been volume and they'd be in a 20 round draft. OTOH, that's 2026 from the March proposal...so hard to get too excited when we are talking about something that likely doesn't kick in for the sox until the 30s in terms of impact. Paddy may even retire before then.
