Yeah but Ortiz and Lowry are intriguing arms, and Lowry's had one start - and has a 1.80 ERA. Jaye still has potential too.

 

Yes, I agree on Lowry and Ortiz. Jaye has never intrigued me, not sure why, gut feel I guess.

Good because he sucks. Smith to AAA?

Tale of two seasons, Micah Johnson and Davidson write-up from TRIB.

 

Davidson seems like he's coming around, maybe the bruised thumb affected him more than he's letting on. Keeping the bigger picture in perspective, seemingly.

Maybe this will create an opening for Ayala in Kanny.

White Sox pleased with Danish progress

I know it's a dumb question but I assume we just got cash for Gimenez?

Yes.

Yes.

 

Well I'm glad they finally got rid of that bum. I hated him here and I hated when he resigned.

He was never anything more than minor league filler who was in the right place when the right guys got hurt and traded.

Kind of a bizarre guy to hate. He played what, a couple dozen games total for the Sox? Hard to even remember a guy based off of that few games, much less hate him.

 

It's not like we're talking about Keppinger here.

Did anyone notice/report/post that Myles Jaye was sent down to WS?

Didn't notice - thanks for pointing it out.

 

Also, Voight to A+, Basto back to Ext ST.

Hardin also got promoted to Birmingham. Why would they send Basto to extended ST? He was hitting well

Basto is a pretty awful defensive infielder, has been all along. That's problem one. And while he was making good contact and hitting for average, he wasn't getting on base much, or hitting for much power, so he was hitting somewhat well but nothing to stand out. If he can't handle the position defensively, that's an issue.

 

Also: Christian Stringer promoted to Kannapolis. I was surprised Shryock got that job over him to begin with, it will be interesting to see how they manage playing time in Kanny with Shryock and Stringer with Rondon there, and the need to give Kenny's kid playing time (ugh) as well. That kept Voight from full time play.

Not this again, Can we just get rid of this guy?

In fairness, he did actually start the season hot for a week or two. No he's back to being more or less what he was, which is not a guy who belongs getting starting time.

 

Didn't we draft one of those Guillens a few years and he expressed indignation at either the contract offer, or that we had waited so late to draft him? Any Guillens left in the minors?

Last I heard, the one we drafted is playing indy ball.

Yes, I believe that was Ozney. The allegation is that nobody wanted to draft him since it was common knowledge that we were going to draft him. When we "waited" until the 20th round to pick him, that was not indicative of his true value because if his last name was not Guillen he would have been taken much higher. That's what they said, at least.

Yes, Ozney was considered a superior prospect, top 10 round talent, but nobody wanted him because of that. Ozzie got pissed because they waited to draft him till the 20th round. I believe that started over Oney too (draft KW Jr in the 5th but Ozney in the 20th hmmmm)

Hitter of the Night: Tim Anderson, SS, White Sox (Winston-Salem, A+): 3-5, R, HR, K.

Anderson has plus tools but is also extremely raw, which makes his .279 batting average somewhat impressive, but oh my goodness does his 42-to-4 K:BB rate scare me.
