November 6, 201510 yr 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 (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.
November 6, 201510 yr 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.
November 7, 201510 yr Author QUOTE (GreenSox @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 01:40 PM) Ha! One would think. Not even funny, since Crede and Rowand, our biggest homegrown bats have been Josh Fields and Gordon Beckham
November 8, 201510 yr Adam Engel, who has been mashing, is batting leadoff for the West. He's over .400 in batting average and .500 in OBP.
November 8, 201510 yr 2 hits. 2 walks. 2 runs. 1 stolen base. 1 RBI. solid night by adam engel in all-star game.

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.
November 9, 201510 yr Thank goodness Engel is already a White Sox because KW would be scrambling to acquire him if not.
November 10, 201510 yr Engel went 2/3, 2B, 3B, BB, 3 R, SB. Now hitting .420 on the Fall. 5 straight multi-hit games. Is that good?

November 10, 201510 yr QUOTE (Dunt @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 11:33 PM) God I hope this carries over to the spring I'm actually planning on moving about 8 minutes south of Camelback Ranch in February. I'm going to go to every game during my days off. I'll report back.
November 11, 201510 yr 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.

November 12, 201510 yr I got back from the game. Amazing how many kids are bad a catching a baseball. I got to see Adam Engel coach 1st base. November baseball>NFL.
November 13, 201510 yr Solo homer for Engel to lead off tonight's game. http://mlb.mlb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?si...gddwin_srrwin_1 Edited November 13, 201510 yr by flavum

He can't get any better. i really hate to say this, esp on any sox prospects / players. but have him do a blood test. his results this AFL are superhuman bordering on herculean | god like results.

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).
November 21, 201510 yr 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

November 22, 201510 yr 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.
