Any word on why Sammy Ayala was released? I'm assuming its due to negative behavior

#WhiteSox most majors-ready prospect Tyler Saladino has been named the IL's staring SS for the Triple-A All-Star game. He's hitting .304.

ROSTER MOVE: Shortstop @CleuluisRondon has been promoted to High-A @WSDashBaseball.

 

Rondon up to replace Anderson. He was only hitting .233/.295/.262 in Kannapolis...this could get ugly.

Hooboy...

Rondon to A+ could go badly for his bat. But the alternatives - Jirschele, Stringer, Shryock - really aren't good either. Kind of have little choice there.

 

Who knows, maybe Rondon surprises us?

His glove alone will at least help W-S. They're not the greatest defensive team down there.

It will be interesting. They will lose a ton of offense, but gain a ton of defense.

Hawkins placed on the DL with a concussion.

 

Sox can't catch a break in the show and the minors. Jeez.

So no Hawkins or Anderson tonight on TV.

 

I've seen Keenyn Walker!

At least May, Barnum, and DeMichele could be interesting.

People still sleeping on Coats. He gets overshadowed in that OF by Hawkins and May, but Coats is becoming a real prospect in my view.

At 24 already, if he continues well, I'd send him to AAA to start next season.

He missed a year of pro ball recovering from an injury (blew out a knee at the end of his college career).

 

If he keeps hitting like he is, he should see AA this year, and he'd be age-appropriate at that level at 24 (or close to it anyway). B-Ham has Mitchell (who, despite a monster game, is not really a prospect anymore), Thompson (who is), Richmond (who was picked up as org filler but is maybe kinda interesting) and Michael Earley (org guy). One of those likely hits AAA at some point, so May or Coats will go up (I'd hope they don't rush Hawkins). May is the better prospect, but I think Coats can handle AA now too. None of those 4 AA OF's should block either May or Coats, other than Thompson, IMO.

 

Braulio Ortiz gets promoted to AA, Sanchez to the Dash

Sanchez? He was traded a few weeks back. Do you mean Chavez?

Not Jake, Angel. We picked him up off waivers from TB a few days ago.

Ah, forgot about him already. Thanks. Apologies to other poster as well.

Richmond (who was picked up as org filler but is maybe kinda interesting).

Looking at his numbers, he's been okay at every stop except for a miserable year with Texas' high A team.

 

Sox released Maikel Cleto? Mlbtraderumors says so.

 

He is still listed as active on the Charlotte roster and last pitched (poorly, albeit) on 7/6

Former Sox farmhand David Holmgren called up by Cinci and sked to pitch against the Scrubs tonight.

Holmberg?

 

Holmberg?

Right. Holmberg. He got knocked around in his start.

I just read that Sox signed a 22 year old catcher named Ryan Plourde. Never heard of him.....
