He's already on the 40 man roster, so at least we don't get another prospect getting cut for his one day on the roster.

Why does Nishida not get any attention?  .415 OBP, 34 stolen bases in half a season?   Left handed hitter.   2023 draft pick...yet I don't see him on White Sox top 30 prospects.  Rarely mentioned here.  Is his age his fatal flaw?

Nishida is such an unorthodox player, I am not sure anyone knows what to make of him. It’s little to no power. He is passive at the plate and not a great defender. But he takes amazing at bats, forces pitchers to work more than anyone else in A ball, and is an excellent base runner. I mean, a poor man’s Steven Kwan? Not really because the power is at least a grade lower. He’s an interesting guy, but he’s gonna have to prove it at higher levels before he gets a lot of attention.

So what we dreamed Madrigal was going to be?  How is Jordan Sprinkle blocking him at high A?

There’s a logjam at W-S in both left and 2b. Sprinkle is a glove-first ss, so he’s not blocking Nishida. They just moved Camilletti up, so maybe Nishida gets a shot, but Chapelli is also blocking him.

So much for the rumored promotion

Could still be happening? There's a lot of movement going on, including a group of pitching prospects spending a couple days with Banny this week:

I assume a lot of the recent spot starts and roster movement has been to accommodate that.

Really wish we had a hitting coach version of Bannister in our system.

He was our highest ranking signing at the time for a while.  He did NOTHING.

I think South Side Sox even ranked him like, #8 on their prospect list, when signed. 

With the new limits on Stateside players, it has become a brutal business. You gotta show something right away or teams can’t roster you. Hernandez has been a hell of a disappointment. I think Paddy probably needs to go.

At one point he was compared to Juan Soto......super disappointing 

I don't see how you can move forward with Paddy in this role. The results are just abysmal.
