Avisail Garcia hit a home run!!! Yippers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just hate calling up prospect after prospect who shuts down an opponent (Omogrosso and his ilk are not prospects)

Didn't they get Axlerod from Windy City as well.

That is some nice scouting.

The Sox sure seem loaded with MLB ready pitching talent. It would be nice if Danks can close out the year in a similar fashion to last night and move him for some everyday players.

The White Sox will be sending RHP Chris Bassit, LHP Charlie Leesman, LHP Stephen McCray, RHP Kevin Vance, INF Micah Johnson and SS Marcus Semien to play in this year's Arizona Fall League.

I don't like this at all. The AFL is a hitters league so why in the hell are they sending four pitchers down there to get their brains beatin in?? Johnson and Semien are good choices but they should also be sending hitters like Brandon Jacobs and Joey DeMichele.

I bet they are moving semien to 3B.

YIPPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BA named Adam Engel the 12th best prospect in the Pioner League. Here is the scouting report they did on him:

12. Adam Engel, of, Great Falls (White Sox)

Age: 21. B-T: R-R. Ht.: 6-1. Wt.: 210. Drafted: Louisville, 2013 (19).

Engel is a human toolbox, with borderline 80 speed and above-average arm strength in a muscular body that scouts describe as NFL caliber. He had a brutal junior season at Louisville, however, hitting just .236/.367/.301 and free-falling down draft boards. The White Sox eventually signed him for $100,000 out of the 19th round.

The Great Falls coaching staff worked with Engel to adjust his stance and help him develop a plan at the plate. He started driving the ball better and finished strong, batting .336 over his final 34 games. He makes good contact and draws his fair share of walks, projecting to be a leadoff hitter with occasional power.

In addition to plus-plus speed, Engel possesses good instincts on the bases that he used to steal a league-leading 31 bases. He already plays a major league-caliber center field. If he continues to refine his feel for hitting, he has a chance at a big league career.

“He’s a very good prospect,” Great Falls hitting coach Charles Poe said. “This guy’s going to be a good for a long time.”

You happen to have a scouting report on this Piscotty?

They don't have a current one up. They are going thru every minor league and naming the top 20 prospects and writing scouting reports on them. They are doing the Texas League on Oct 10. I'm sure he'll be in the top 20 so I'll post it for you then.

Cool, thanks!

Bump.

White Sox fans are welcome to be skeptical of their prospects here I believe. I'll stick to singing Go Cubs Go in the Cubs thread.

Courtney Hawkins hit his third home run of the season! and he's only struck out seven times in five games! He's hitting .421/.429/1.053. YIPPERS!!!

future stud...350 MLB HR with no problem...like 5 years younger than the great Kris Bryant

I'm still not sure on Tyler Danish being a major league starting pitcher but it's difficult to have a much better start to a career.

68 IP
0.93 ERA
45 hits
15 walks
53 k's
0.882 WHIP
Age diff -2.8

It amazes me that Frank and the minor league talent the Sox have, and his Kenny and Jerry suckage .That they haven't been in the playoffs since 2005.....explain that champ?

Former Windy City Thunderbolt Mike Recchia makes his AA debut tonight for Birmingham.

The BABIP is very high - have to see a few more starts to see if it's a trend.

By my count it was just over 400 (7 hits in 17 balls in play)

Danish's success as a starter hinges on his ability to get lefties out. He's a slinger. Some say he's low 3/4 like Jake Peavy but his arm slot is lower than Peavy's. You don't see any starters who are side-arming right handers because it's too hard to consistently get lefties out from that slot. He'll need a killer slider and change to keep them off his fastball. Both are pretty good but time will tell if they're enough to make him more than just a death on righties ROOGY.

Matt Davidson hit his 14th and 15th home runs and his batting average is over .200! YIPPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

danish is on the DL.
