bmags Posted August 16, 2022 Author Share Posted August 16, 2022 Carlos Jiminez is 20 and in year 2 of DSL but he sure has hit the ball well. Also last night's ACL game. Eesh, props to Claunch for some walks, but boy our later round college hitters are K'ing a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wager that's more stolen bases than the White Sox have total. Though I imagine stolen base totals are pretty elevated in the minors and I haven't looked at his success rate.

Quin Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Just to give context to Colas' tear right now, his home run rate in Birmingham is 8.9 AB/HR. Here's the top 20 all time: Rank Player (age that year) AB per HR Year PA Bats 1. Barry Bonds (36) 6.52 2001 664 L 2. Mark McGwire (34) 7.27 1998 681 R 3. Josh Gibson+ (25) 7.80 1937 183 R 4.

Especially when the Sox have such an obvious need for some LH thunder and a competent right fielder. They can't keep playing Eloy and Vaughn, or Sheets, in the same outfield. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
