May 7, 20241 yr Quero breaks things up with a solo shot. Nice to see some RH power too. Edited May 7, 20241 yr by Autumn Dreamin
May 8, 20241 yr Thorpe about to fall under a 1.00 ERA. Unreal. He'll be up at AAA soon unless they want him to stay all the way through the Southern League All-Star game...enjoy some accolades/success before moving up to the bandbox. And with Sox pitchers, might be better just to send them directly from BIRM because Charlotte might as well be Colorado.

I know people were saying it's only been a month or whatever but with an ERA south of 1, he's obviously not being challenged at this level. I dont think we have a sample size issue anymore. Dude has killed it in almost every start. Charlotte is a band box but it will be a good challenge and he needs to be challenged.

Interesting clay to mold with him, not that I'd trust the Sox to mold it into anything good. Colson is looking like he's ready. Give him another 150 PA in AAA and bring him up in late June. Agreed

Have the Sox ever had a pitching prospect with this type of success in the minor leagues? I can’t recall one with this type of success (minor league pitcher of the year one year with a chance to repeat the next year).

Jon Rauch also had that one minor league pitcher of the year season.

Good examples but it seems Thorpe is on another level right now. At least these guys (McCarthy, Hudson, Rauch) were all quality mlb pitchers so that bodes well for Thorpe I’d think.
