August 3, 20223 yr Great to see Sosa with the HR. He’s been hitting pretty light since moving to AAA, usually the opposite of what happens when players leave Birmingham.
August 3, 20223 yr 7 minutes ago, DirtySox said: First AAA Sosa HR! 106.8 off the bat. We keep getting more & more evidence that he has plus raw power. I hope he's developed & coached in a way to maximize that. Don't turn him into another middle away hitter.
August 3, 20223 yr I'm actually not that worried about Sosa. He always seems to struggle a bit upon promotion, then adjusts. Being a 22 year old and in AAA seems like a pretty great trajectory to me.
August 3, 20223 yr Also, Carlos Perez decided to homer and one-up Sosa with a 107 off the bat. Edited August 3, 20223 yr by DirtySox

August 4, 20223 yr Simas got pulled after only 62 pitches. Wonder if they’re trying to limit his innings, seems to have had a short leash the past month Edited August 4, 20223 yr by bighurt4life

I wonder if being brought up to the MLB and basically been given no chance by the manager brought him down a bit

August 4, 20223 yr Just a 24 year old catcher, crushing AAA with a low k rate, after watching one with a 30% k rate succeed at age 26. Nothing to see here

August 4, 20223 yr the minor league system has really impressed this year. if the sox could find guys like this every year from various sources they'd be a top 10 system in no time. keep it going please.
August 4, 20223 yr Perez ended up 3-4 HR, 2b, 1b and Sosa went 2-3 with a HR and a walk. Good night for the Venezuelans.
August 4, 20223 yr Rodriguez continues to just be a fascinating prospect. He's always been fun because despite being young with no pedigree he'd produce when no one else was. Then finally this year he was the odd one out. Completely devoid of hits and power to start year, he starts with addressing contact, now it feels like he's re-adding in power. Like he just recalibrated everything.
