July 20, 201411 yr 27 years old. Finally has earned his way up to the show. Good for him. He was the only one in the Charlotte bullpen having a decent year. 2.81 era on the season with 53 Ks in 48 innings.
July 20, 201411 yr Welcome Thompson . If Paulino is headed to the 60 day DL, I think maybe the Sox end up releasing him in the near future.
July 20, 201411 yr Charlotte Knights @KnightsBaseball 2m Congrats to Taylor Thompson! The newest #CLTKnights player to go to @whitesox this season! 12 in all so far this year!
July 20, 201411 yr FutureSox.com @FutureSox 32m Taylor Thompson: 6'5" righty, FB 91-94 T95, SL, splitter. 26 yo, drafted 44th rd (1333rd overall) in 2009. Been nails since May this year.
July 20, 201411 yr looks as if his control has improved the last two seasons. if he can throw strikes, that will put him ahead of several others with coop. didn't see this coming.
July 20, 201411 yr Kinda called this one yesterday. With Rienzo starting just yesterday, he's the only one that really makes sense.
July 20, 201411 yr ......and I didn't see this thread, and copied FutureSox's tweets about Thompson's promotions in other threads. Sorry guys.
July 20, 201411 yr Doug Padilla @ESPNChiSox 32m Thompson was a 44th round pick in 2009. At age 27 he brought back his split-finger pitch and here he is.

July 21, 201411 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 20, 2014 -> 09:57 AM) Thompson replaces Sanchez.I'm sure only the old timers on the board will get this
July 21, 201411 yr DJ and Farmer only called him Trayce Thompson once during the broadcast. Maybe they'll come around if he sticks long enough on the roster.
