Brooks, Meidroth, Colson, Vargas, Sosa, Teel and Quero - this is the team going forward, so they might as well get them figuring it out together. Selfishly, watching the rookies is all that's left to make it interesting. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kitekrazy Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I'd be sad if he fails. I'm not even sure what failure is for a call up. I hope he does well fielding his position. I want a little more success in AAA. I can't figure out the logic behind this. It seems like grabbing at straws 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zisk Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I hope it works out. I really do. I'm as sick of losing as everyone else. The thing that worries me most is during the last 30 games, the best 30 games he's had at AAA, he's still struck out 1 out of every 3 at bats.

DoUEvenShift Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Please don't send Baldwin down again after 3 AB's --- AGAIN. One of Capra/Noda/Rojas should be the corresponding move. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 1 hour ago, WestEddy said: I'd be surprised if Wes Kath is in the organization next year. Wilfred Veras seems topped out at AA. I think Jacob Gonzalez heads the next group of dudes who start to seep up next season. Galanie, Nishida and Caden Conner are also in that group. William Bergolla. Maybe Antonacci, B. Monty and Nick McClain catch up to them next August. Gonzalez? Dude can’t even hit well in the minors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of those guys listed are really legit prospects...other than Braden, who has hit his own wall after missing a lot of development time last year. Bergolla MIGHT be a utility guy in the big leagues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Wish they would have cleared out some of the (outfield) vets so guys like Baldwin Colson and Quero/Teel can get more consistent/regular playing time. And still really don't know what they have with Vargas and Sosa moving forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be his one shot (referencing Eminem) to prove his critics wrong. At least they won't have him face elite pitchers like Baldwin did in his last two call ups.

vilehoopster Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Where is he going to play. I assume that it has to be SS. So then that moves Meidroth to 2nd. Does Sosa sit?? That would really bother me. With Vargas struggling, the Sox have only 4 or 5 real major-league level hitters, and Sosa is one of them. Are they gonna sit Sosa so we can watch Capra and Rojas bat??? I really think that's what's gonna happen; they sit Sosa; this and keep putting Rojas and Capra out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to remind me of Joe Borchard...albeit not much in common beyond left-handedness, polite/respectful personalities and then all the prospect hype.

Bob Sacamano Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I would assume Crapa is gone but if he actually is a decent defender at SS, then he might have the edge over Rojas. But Rojas also makes more money so idk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 (edited) 16 hours ago, Soxfest said: This should be interesting one way or another. It's earlier than I thought but in no way is it idiotic. Hitting in Colorado against Rockies pitching seems well thought out. It's just another safe reason for people who need to be right,more reasons to feel good about themselves based on other people's failures. If he does poorly, like most prospects, they get to feel vindicated . See it was stupid. No, it's what happens with most prospects. If he has a good series in Colorado the whiners can safely claim small sample size and lick their chops with his 1st 0 for 10 with 6 Ks. It's as if they want him to fail. Too much good press. It's like with Vargas since he's cooled down. The safe play is to say you don't believe in him because you don't really believe in anything Sox related. He's got to get his sea legs against MLB pitching to continue the progress that was made by the Fuller Fix. He's by no means a finished prospect but you were going to eat an option this year anyway. Might as well give Montgomery, Baldwin, Teel, Quero, Meidroth, Vargas ,Sosa and possibly Elko too all up here growing together.

caulfield12 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 They waited until he had a GW hit in AAA...favorable hitting environment against the Rockies (headed for one of the worst seasons in history) and then three RH pitchers, including young Dollander who has been scuffling. Not sure what else they could do. Probably thought he could be overwhelmed in that racuous LA environment against Kershaw. https://www.mlb.com/rockies/roster/probable-pitchers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I would dump Noda and have Vargas and Sosa cover first base. Vinnie Capra can grab some starts at short against tough righties. Noda is useless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sosa played first early in the year and botched up easy plays. He’s not a good fielder, period. DH might be his best position. Go with Vargas at 3rd, Colson at SS, Meidroth at 2B and I want Teel at IB, it will prolong his career, give Quero more time at catcher with Lee the backup. Why is Noda still here, OPS is under .500, bring Elko back up then if they want they can keep Teel behind the plate.

Should be Capra and Noda. Sosa plays 3rd, Meidroth 2nd. Vargas at first. Would call up Lee too so Teel and Quero can split DH/C in the same game so we have a backup C. Hope they haven't given up on Elko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
