Jake Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Had to look this up on Statcast: Colson Montgomery has struck out 33 times this year, 17 of them looking. No major leaguer had half of his strikeouts looking last year and of those with high proportions of strikeouts looking, none of them were high strikeout players (so usually, if a lot of your Ks are looking, it's partly because you're so hard to strike out by swinging). For April 2024, Colson is an extremely high strikeout player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted Tuesday at 01:25 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 01:25 PM (edited) Ky Bush made the hot sheet. Quote 12. Ky Bush, LHP, White Sox Team: Double-A Birmingham (Southern) Age: 24 Why He’s Here: 2-0, 0.00, 2 GS, 11 IP, 6 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 7 BB, 14 SO. The Scoop: When the White Sox acquired Bush along with Edgar Quero in last July’s Reynaldo Lopez/Lucas Giolito trade, he didn’t make a great first impression. Bush gave up 12 hits and seven runs in just 3.1 innings in his White Sox debut. It did get better from there, but Bush went 3-4, 6.70 in nine starts for Birmingham after the trade. Bush has been way better in his return to Birmingham. He threw back-to-back scoreless starts this week and has allowed only three earned runs in four starts. He allowed three or more runs in seven of his nine starts for Birmingham last year. Bush’s 94 mph fastball, 83-85 mph slider and high-80s changeup aren’t overpowering, but when he’s locating like this, they’re effective.

Boopa1219 Posted Tuesday at 06:09 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:09 PM It’s amazing how many of the top 25 prospects are all struggling right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Dreamin Posted Tuesday at 08:49 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:49 PM Well deserved promotion to AA for Eric Adler (though it sucks for WS to lose their closer). Schoenle promoted to AA as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted Wednesday at 01:51 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 01:51 PM (edited) From BA's chat yesterday. Quote AJ 18 hours ago What's the deal with Brooks Baldwin? Legit prospect? Geoff Pontes 18 hours ago I think he projects as a bench player who can help a team in a pinch. It's sort of fringe skills with some power but he's a guy who plays hard and has shown he can hit. There's just not everyday regular upside. Edited Wednesday at 01:52 PM by DirtySox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, isn't there better talent in AA than AAA, since you don't have as much veteran Quad-A types and minor league signings and filler? Spending a lot of time in AAA doesn't seem as necessary.

Boopa1219 Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago I watched the Dash game last night to see Schultz and I was struck by how bad fundamentally the team is. Missing the cut off man, sloppy infield play, it was bad baseball. I know it’s the minors, A ball specifically, and mainly of these guys who sniff the majors but that’s not excuse to be fundamentally sound. It’s not hard to see why the Sox have struggled.
