Do they let you use the 100 level concessions, or do they shoo you up the escalators right away to the 500s? I may go to one of the games against KC in a couple of weeks if the weather is good.

The only time I've seen them checking tickets at the 100 level entrances is on Opening Day and the Buehrle game. I'm sure they will be tonight and tomorrow though.

Burdi is down with TJ surgery. Bummer has a chance to be pretty good but needs a little more time in the minors. They could call up Lopez, Fulmer or Danish and drop them in the bullpen right now.

To the Rays for Casey Gillespie. Yet another 1B. Well GD will be happy.

I know nothing about him but if he has Conor's psycho work ethic and focus, he should at least make MLB. I thought he was a first round pick a year or so ago.

Jennings is under control for another two years. I know he is just a situational lefty when being used correctly but I wouldn't have been so quick to sell him off.

I guess they figured they were buying low on a formerly great prospect which is fine.

So now we have no one in the pen who can get guys out.

The guy they called up is intriguing.

Who?

Really is a shame for all those Sox fans who had the high expectations and spent big money on red hot White Sox tickets a few months ago...how you could root for this team to win instead of moving past Philly and SF in the L column is baffling.

Bummer. Lefty with a lot of velocity.

High expectations? I'm pretty sure when they traded away a Cy Young candidate that those expectations for 2017 went out the window.

There's a lot of ground between high expectations and Pelfrey being your best pitcher. But many people rely on others to buy tickets so the team will still exist to be good again someday.

A.J. Puckett | Rank: 13 (Preseason: 11)

Team: Wilmington Blue Rocks (A Adv) ETA: 2019 Position: RHP Age: 22 DOB: 05/27/1995 Bats: R Throws: R Height: 6' 4" Weight: 200 lb. Drafted: 2016, 2nd (67) - KC

Puckett sustained an epidural hematoma in his head in an off-field accident in 2011, resulting in him spending two weeks in a medically induced coma and ending his promising career as a high school quarterback. He made a full recovery and went to Pepperdine, where he was the West Coast Conference pitcher of the year in 2016 after fashioning the third-longest (45 2/3 innings) scoreless streak in NCAA Division I history. After signing for $1.2 million as Kansas City's top pick (second round), he easily handled an assignment to low Class A in his debut.

Puckett is more about pitchability than power. His best assets are his tumbling changeup, a legitimate plus pitch, and his advanced command. His fastball usually ranges from 90-94 mph with some run and sink, and his curveball can be an average third offering at times but lacks consistency.

His stuff plays up because Puckett works both corners of the plate and lives down in the strike zone. He also uses his size to create angle to his pitches, studies hitters carefully and has a high pitching IQ. A potential No. 4 starter, he should advance quickly and has one of the highest floors among Royals pitching prospects.

Hard to have a problem with this.
