Surfing minor league splits

 

Egbert has a slugging against average of .299.

 

Home .224/.283/.311

Away .202/.270/.288

 

That damn Regions Park is hurting his numbers.

Egbert has a slugging against average of .299.

 

Is that your way of telling me that Egbert should be higher, or do you love Eggy so much that you spew out facts about him every chance you get?

Both.

 

I don't like giving a whole lot of love to players below AA ball.

Quite honestly, there's absolutely no way I can have DLS - who, from what I've seen both numbers and stuff wise, is going to be an impact MLB arm someday, so long as his health remains, be it as a 2-3 starter or a dynamite setup/closer - nor Egbert, who has thrown up dominating numbers without the potential for arm problems due to height, weight, nor stuff, below Gio, who has so many potential problems ahead of him.

 

Gio, as far as I see, is either boom or bust either as a starter or reliever. If he stays healthy AND he maintains solid control, he's a 3 starter for the Sox; without health or control, he's a 5 starter who may bounce between AAA and the majors for quite a while. I see Egbert holding a spot in the Sox rotation until he hits free agency or is traded, and I really think you could see him in the majors starting next year, especially if Garland and Contreras are traded.

 

And there's no way I can have Sweeney, who has still yet to show any kind of power at any stop throughout the minors, at 4 on the list. Or I can, but that just goes to show how truly weak the White Sox farm is when it comes to developing hitters. Hopefully Cheat is right and he turns into an Alex Rios type, but Sean Burroughs looks just as likely right now. I put Sweeney at 50/50 at developing into a good regular someday.

DLS will be in the second part of a piggy back in the next couple of days.
