Top 10 Performances of the Week

Rookies begin to make impact

By Danny Santaromita

 

Here are the top 10 performances of the week by White Sox minor leaguers. The rankings were based solely on statistics. This is the 7th week the list has been in existence. This week covers the games from July 5th through July 11th. This week there were so many great performances that I had to add an honorable mention category for a few of the players.

 

HM. 7/11 Ryan Rodriguez, Kannapolis Intimidators 7.1 IP, 3 runs, 5 K, 1 BB, 3 hits (W)

Rodriguez had an awesome week and showed the depth of the Kannapolis rotation.

 

HM. 7/5 Chris Young, Kannapolis 4-4, 3B, 2B, 2 RBI, run, BB

It’s hard not to notice a 4 hit game. Young was a HR away from the cycle and got his average up to .267. He has gone 3-24 since and his average has fallen to .255.

 

HM. 7/5 Jose De Los Santos, Bristol 4-5, 2B, 5 RBI, 2 runs

De Los Santos has been awesome this season for Bristol. The 19 year-old has seemingly come out of nowhere and has led everyone to ask one question: “Who is Jose De Los Santos?” The 19 year-old stands at 5’11” and is batting .417 while playing 2B, SS, and 3B. more....

Once again, another great article, Dan! Keep up the good work...

I love seeing Haigwood and Rodriguez on there! Hopefully, many more apperances from these guys will be on the "Top 10 Performances of the Week" list.

Sweet stuff as always Dan!!!!

His recent struggles are cause for concern as he could be wearing down.

 

Uh, no. I talked with Haigwood and he said he feels about 95 or 96 percent healthy. Also not noted was that Haigwood was carrying a no-hitter into the 8th inning.

Players can say what they want, but the guy has struggled until has last couple starts. I just said it was possible. Thanks for pointing that out about the no-hitter, I don't know how I missed that.
