flavum Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) Sounds like he pronounces it Mike-er, and I heard Buddy Bell say it the same way yesterday. Bell said Zapata will visit the Bristol club and workout with them...he can't play. Then Instructional League this fall, and I think he said Dominican summer league next year. BTW-- this was his father's minor league stats... http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/p...id=adolfo001car Edited July 7, 2013 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Yes, it is a pay site, but it's part of the preview section, so anyone can see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Basically, Parks really likes him, saw him at a DR showcase. Thinks he is already a top five talent in our system, thinks his hit tool is good enough that has a chance to be "more than an all or nothing power threat" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox_Sonix Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Does the fact that he's an American kid mean he may go to Bristol sooner than later? Or allow him to spend time in instructional leagues in the fall or anything like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Bell, Zapata will start with the White Sox Arizona Rookie League entry in 2014. He'll then move to Bristol or Advanced Rookie Great Falls the following season.

Quin Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 According to Bell, Zapata will start with the White Sox Arizona Rookie League entry in 2014. He'll then move to Bristol or MLB the following season. Fixed for irrationality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
