ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 QUOTE (Dunt @ Nov 5, 2015 -> 07:49 PM) Engel 2-4 with a 2B. Wondering what has caused this offensive outburst. Maybe he's just learning to use that gigantic insanely athletic body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Nov 5, 2015 -> 10:09 PM) Maybe he's just learning to use that gigantic insanely athletic body. He's been this good before, in short bursts. He was tweaking his plate approach multiple times this year, with the help of Charlie Poe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 3, 2015 -> 05:25 PM) Just using the law of averages, the Sox are due to have a guy like Engel and a few more actually break out, aren't they? Ha! One would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winninguglyin83 Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 Adam Engel, who has been mashing, is batting leadoff for the West. He's over .400 in batting average and .500 in OBP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he have 2 walks? How did I completely miss that other PA. But yeah, the kid looked real good. However, I didn't see him have to make a single play in CF, which was weird.

Everyone was being replaced, so I just assumed he had as well. Would have liked to see him square a ball up, but his speed will earn him a lot of infield hits.

royoung Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Thank goodness Engel is already a White Sox because KW would be scrambling to acquire him if not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Engel went 2/3, 2B, 3B, BB, 3 R, SB. Now hitting .420 on the Fall. 5 straight multi-hit games. Is that good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 It always seems like guys (not just our team) go onto rake in the AFL but not so much the following minor league year. I pray he can carry it over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, he's just making a ton of contact, and his incredible speed earns him many infield hits and stolen bases, not to mention he is taking walks. It's not like the guy is suddenly slamming home runs. He's just making contact at an awesome rate, and not chasing pitches. Not quite your typical red flags for cheating (although I realize better contact skills are a result of PED).

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Adam Engel - OF - White Sox White Sox outfielder Adam Engel was named Most Valuable Player of the Arizona Fall League. The 23-year-old, ranked as the 17th best prospect in the White Sox organization, hit a blistering .403 (27-for-67) with 12 extra-base hits and 10 stolen bases. He's expected to open the 2016 season at Double-A. Source: Phil Rogers on TwitterNov 21 - 2:59 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 What level do you guys think he will start at? I hope he carries it over and he can be up in our outfield sooner rather than later. When he is up, we can say that we have an Engel in the outfield.

I hope he carries it over and he can be up in our outfield sooner rather than later. When he is up, we can say that we have an Engel in the outfield. There's a CF opening in Birmingham with May moving up to Charlotte and after Engel's AFL performance I can see the Sox challenging him by moving him up to Birmingham. IIRC, NorthsideSox posted a writeup stating Engel likely starts '16 in Birmingham. Makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
