I'm getting itchy to see Eloy in the line-up every day. I need him to be with the big league club to re-energize my ability to sit down and watch this team. Thought I would look over the farm and see where we are at right now to make me feel good again....(ranked according to mlb.com)
1. Eloy....Should be up anytime soon. I feel like a little kid watching highlights of him crush baseballs
2. Kopech- Let Eloy come up first. Kopech needs to see time this year. Needs to fix the walks. My hope is he can do that with Coop.
3. Robert- Hard to say much, has only played in 21 games this year. Should get a good look at him in Arizona fall league.
4. Madrigal- Becoming my favorite Sox prospect with what I have heard him say in interviews 16 games in hitting 378 in A ball with 0 Ks in 53 at-bats. I think he can be a true table setter for a dangerous lineup when everyone is here. Call up next year?
5. Dylan Cease- Sox got a steal getting him with Eloy from the Cubs.
6. Dane Dunning-Most overlooked guy in the Sox system?
7. Rutherford- I was really disappointed with him last year. Thought the Sox got a bust from the Yankees. Bounce back year for sure. Power flashes from time to time, but I think he can be everyday CF for sure.
Injuries to start the year had me sick a possible wasted season of development. Looking over the season a lot of these guys have had makes me feel a lot better. But pitching is still a crap shoot. I would really like to see us get more position players in the draft, and be ready to spend on pitching when the club is ready.
