May 2, 20169 yr How serious of a prospect is Nick Delmonico? I know he had been busted once for PEDs a couple years ago, but he seems to be a dangerous hitter. He is nowhere to be seen on the White Sox Top 30 Prospect list and doesn't get a whole lot of publicity. Thanks in advance for any insight on him.
May 2, 20169 yr For 21, Michalczewski is doing well in AA. Hope some of his doubles turn into homers over the next couple years.
May 2, 20169 yr Brennan was replaced by Nolan Sanburn just before gametime. Not sure why yet. QUOTE (BaseballNick @ May 2, 2016 -> 12:31 PM) How serious of a prospect is Nick Delmonico? I know he had been busted once for PEDs a couple years ago, but he seems to be a dangerous hitter. He is nowhere to be seen on the White Sox Top 30 Prospect list and doesn't get a whole lot of publicity. Thanks in advance for any insight on him. He was actually on the very back end of our T30 midseason last year on Future Sox. He was once a highly touted prospect. He had defensive problems that forced him to move around the diamond, he's currently at 1B but still plays some 3B. His hitting was on and off. There were rumors of attitude issues, and what's really interesting is how he came to the Sox. When we interviewed him, we got a story that he hadn't told anyone else yet - basically, it wasn't that the Brewers couldn't find him as they reported. It's that Nick intentionally avoided them because he wanted to leave. So then they released him, and the Sox grabbed him. Here's our profile on him. Includes a link to that interview I mentioned.

Wow, that's interesting stuff. The fact that he failed to report to Brewers camp hoping to be released rubs me the wrong way. That's such an immature act. Between that and the positive test for amphetamines, he's not the most likable prospect, but I hope he finds his way with the White Sox. Thanks again for the info, NorthSideSox.
May 3, 20169 yr FWIW @keithlaw Is Nicky Delmonico a solid prospect? I don't see him on any Sox top prospect lists keithlaw @keithlaw Apr 26 Repeating AA this year, suspended for amphetamines in 2014. Not a top prospect.
May 3, 20169 yr Nick Basto is also having a heck of a year with the Dash. I don't know if it's a fluke or if the lights finally went on, but he's raking.
May 3, 20169 yr Two walks for Anderson after getting his first of the entire season yesterday! Let's hope this is a trend...
May 3, 20169 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ May 2, 2016 -> 03:41 PM) I could see you taking exception to what he did in camp with Milwaukee but I am not sure, and I am a probably in the minority, you should pin the amphetamines suspension against him without context. I'm much more forgiving of amphetamines than steroid-type substances. Amphetamines are out of your system in a hurry and the benefits are mostly mental and go away as soon you cease use. While you can't stay massive for too long after you quit steroids, your body is very much changed by it in a way that for most pro athletes wouldn't be possible without the substance. It's also more believable that you could be fooled into having amphetamines in your system without knowing exactly what it was or that it was illegal. For instance, does every ~20 year old kid know that Adderall is a mixture of amphetamines? I suspect not all of them do–not to say there shouldn't be punishment.

May 3, 20169 yr QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ May 3, 2016 -> 05:13 AM) time to promote basto Kind of a 1B logjam in the minors. Basto needs promotion (although he hasn't been in productive in high A ball for long)....to take Delmonico's spot. Delmonico really needs a promotion... but that would be to take Hayes' spot, who doesn't need a demotion. Try Delmonico in the OF.

Let them build their stats and make better trade bait.

It would be nice if we could start pulling some of these guys up to the Whitesox and they produce. The only one I think has the possibility is Delmonico, but he needs AAA.
