May 25, 201411 yr Surkamp has been pitching well and I'm a big fan of Wendelken. Hopefully they both pitch well today.
May 25, 201411 yr Another error for Anderson. I liked the pick, but it's a shame JP Crawford didn't fall to the Sox Edited May 25, 201411 yr by fathom
May 25, 201411 yr Matt Davidson hot streak didn't last long. For all the Mitchell bashing, he has had a better season than Davidson Edited May 25, 201411 yr by fathom
May 25, 201411 yr Very nice start for Wendelken.... 7 IP, 7 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 8 K He now has 50 K to 9 BB.

May 25, 201411 yr Except Davidson's on an upwards trend recently, with a 795 OPS the last ten games, including his 6th homer today. Mitchell's OPS is completely padded by all those walks, 30 in 99 AB's. Has there ever been someone in recent history with under 100 PA's, 30 walks and 29 TB's? 678 OPS.
May 25, 201411 yr hard to be excited about Sox farm system. Quick calculation -- they're 44 games below .500, not an inspiring group.
May 25, 201411 yr Make that 2 errors and 21 for the season already on Anderson. Gulp. CF might not be far away.

Seriously, I know Jeter made a s***load of errors in the minors, but enough is enough with Anderson. He was a suspect at SS to begin with. Pull the plug and put him in the outfield. It may actually help his offense too. Less to worry about. Edited May 25, 201411 yr by flavum

Pull the plug and put him in the outfield. It may actually help his offense too. Less to worry about. He famously made 50+ in Greensboro in 1993. I don't think they let Anderson get anywhere near that total. They'll put him at 2B or the outfield or even DH. I'd guess he has another couple of months before they make that determination. There has to be a growing concern his defensive problems are carrying over to the offensive side of his game.
May 25, 201411 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ May 25, 2014 -> 09:04 PM) Are you actually judging the quality of a farm system by the number of minor league wins it generates? Four bad teams. minimal pitching prospects. Johnson, Sanchez, Hawkins, Anderson, Ravelo and a few other intriguing names as position guys. But there's not a lot to get excited about.

So that example shouldn't inspire anyone. Haha.
May 26, 201411 yr Kevan Smith 3 for 4 with a double and a couple of RBIs, putting together a very solid season. In fact both he and Phegley have been been having very productive seasons.

May 26, 201411 yr QUOTE (oldsox @ May 26, 2014 -> 12:34 AM) It's a start. imo, you hope for a couple of prospects to developed and bring them along, hoping for 1 day to make it to Majors. expecting the whole minors, to be buzzing with prospects, while it would be nice, is not really going to happen. especially when we are rebuilding, to put it mildly.
May 26, 201411 yr IMO it'll take Atleast 2 more years before we can get excited about the farm. Gota let the guys develop and draft some more good players and sign a couple international prospects

Gota let the guys develop and draft some more good players and sign a couple international prospects Same thing was posted a year or two ago. Fact is, they are approx 44 games under .500 collectively, and it's tough to get excited. From here, it does not look like a farm system on the rise. Just trying to be objective. The draft will help, but it will help others also.

In fact both he and Phegley have been been having very productive seasons. Smith looks like a guy who keeps improving. If Davidson had those numbers, everyone would be estatic; with Smith, he is "too old".
