August 7, 201312 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 7, 2013 -> 06:45 PM) http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20130807 Semien double, Garcia walk. Hopefully those 2 are staples in the White Sox line up for years to come
August 8, 201312 yr Author Semien adds two walks. He's the s***. Garcia hit into DP, then 2-RBI single.
August 8, 201312 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 7, 2013 -> 07:45 PM) Semien adds two walks. He's the s***. I'm so f***ing stoked that the Sox have a legit prospect with some plate discipline.
August 8, 201312 yr QUOTE (DirtySox @ Aug 7, 2013 -> 07:53 PM) I'm so f***ing stoked that the Sox have a legit prospect with some plate discipline. Who are some fail comps to Semien? Guys with 1:1 or better in AA/AAA that doesn't translate up to mlb.
August 8, 201312 yr Hawkins with 2 hits, including a homer. Seems to be making much better contact the last few games.
August 8, 201312 yr Sickels says Semien could be a regular if he maxes out his tools. Was hoping for a little better write up. Link.

August 8, 201312 yr QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 7, 2013 -> 08:41 PM) Apollogies. Not needed. Just some discussion there if interested.
August 8, 201312 yr I just made an observation. Everyone who's played in Double A B-Ham is having a career high or close to a career high in BB%. I am not sure if this is a factor of the park, the league, or hopefully the pitching staff, but the team as a whole is getting on base a lot. Guys like Semien and Dan Black posted ridiculous walk numbers, while others guys like Walker, Thompson, Jared Mitchell, Andy Wilkins, Saladino (especially last year), even Michael Blanke are posting the highest BB% of their career at BB. Then I tried to picture Courtney Hawkins eventually playing at Double A, and my mind just blew up. Edited August 8, 201312 yr by thxfrthmmrs

August 8, 201312 yr QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 7, 2013 -> 10:53 PM) Ben Zobrist maybe? I had noticed some similarities there in the past too. I don't know if I've found the perfect comparison player yet
August 8, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 7, 2013 -> 09:17 PM) Hawkins with 2 hits, including a homer. Seems to be making much better contact the last few games. Two straight games without a strikeout. Can't remember the last time he did that

Semien, when I interviewed him last week, specifically credited Gary Ward for some improvements in his approach. Gary's the hitting coach in AA.

August 8, 201312 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2013 -> 08:13 AM) I recognize that name, hasn't he been there a while? Winston-Salem in 2012, and Birmingham in 2013.
August 8, 201312 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2013 -> 08:13 AM) I recognize that name, hasn't he been there a while? Von Joshua was fired as White Sox hitting coach in 2001. He was replaced by Gary Ward.
August 8, 201312 yr QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 8, 2013 -> 09:18 AM) Von Joshua was fired as White Sox hitting coach in 2001. He was replaced by Gary Ward. Ah, that's why. Gracias.

August 8, 201312 yr QUOTE (thxfrthmmrs @ Aug 8, 2013 -> 10:12 AM) Ha, that's what I meant. coaching staff, not pitching staff* OK, I was kinda wondering why you brought up the pitching staff. I figured you mean the other teams' pitching staffs or something.
