June 21, 201510 yr Disappointing season for Adams continues. Just needs to find a way to limit how many hits he allows.
June 21, 201510 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 21, 2015 -> 02:38 PM) We're not sure but there's never been any actual statement that he was hurt last year and they've denied that IIRC. They really have made it sound like some sort of a major mental thing. I'm aware of that. I believe they are either wrong or are being economical with the truth.
June 21, 201510 yr Wasn't there speculation last year that maybe Johnson's arm was tired from the increase workload in 2013? Johnson went from 92IP in 2012 to 142IP in 2013 and we all know how 2014 turned out. Might explain his loss in velocity and command in 2014.
June 21, 201510 yr North I hope your friend watched another Charlotte game...it would be interesting to see how EJ looked, pitch clockings, etc.
June 21, 201510 yr Author Brian Clark for WS had an excellent start tonight. He has been pretty good all year.
June 21, 201510 yr Author QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 21, 2015 -> 05:37 PM) He was one of my favorite picks last year and he has been a stud other than all of the walks. First start today and he went 5IP, 6/0 K/BB. I like it. The org was really excited about him and Fry after the draft in '14. They were both primary targets in their focus of replenishing the system with lefties. He was also one of my favorite picks last year as well.
June 21, 201510 yr Just saw that Micah, Kottaras, and Davidson each hit 2 HRs. Hopefully it won't be long before they are all in the majors with EJ coming up as well
June 22, 201510 yr QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 21, 2015 -> 08:06 PM) Micah for Carlos Kottaras for Flowers Johnson for Danks. 100% agree on all three moves.
June 22, 201510 yr Kottras for Soto; whatever Flowers isn't, he's better than Soto. Johnson for Shark
June 22, 201510 yr QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jun 21, 2015 -> 08:16 PM) Kottras for Soto; whatever Flowers isn't, he's better than Soto. Johnson for Shark I don't agree that Flowers is better than Soto and either do the advanced metrics.
June 22, 201510 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 21, 2015 -> 07:29 PM) I don't agree that Flowers is better than Soto and either do the advanced metrics. I agree too. I'd take Soto over Flowers.
June 22, 201510 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 21, 2015 -> 09:29 PM) I don't agree that Flowers is better than Soto and either do the advanced metrics. Nor non-advanced metrics. Like slugging percentage.
June 22, 201510 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 21, 2015 -> 03:44 PM) Disappointing season for Adams continues. Just needs to find a way to limit how many hits he allows. I think the goal for him is stretching his arm out, I hope he stays healthy.
June 22, 201510 yr Adams stretching his arm out and throwing strikes is what's really important here. He's just 19 and a ways to go so there's no need to rush or cast him off as a bust. Growing pains is all. Look at it this way. Adams went tit for tat with the second over all pick from the 2014 draft for the second time in a week. Adams will be fine, just have some patience for the young ladd. Edited June 22, 201510 yr by BlackSox13
June 22, 201510 yr QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 21, 2015 -> 08:06 PM) Micah for Carlos Kottaras for Flowers Johnson for Danks. Substitute Bonafacio for Carlos.

And knowing how the White Sox grow pitchers, they are probably making him work on his second and third pitches at the expense of his first pitch.
