The Sox's lone prospect had to be removed from the game last night with a shoulder injury after an outfield collision.

Montas hit 102 today. Call him up and put him in the bullpen. They would turn it into a 6 inning game with Petricka, Montas and Robertson.

In the event they're up after six innings, I would agree with you. You have to score more runs than the opposition for that to happen. Good luck to you.

Who freakin cares. He hit 1. 0. 2. If he's capable of hitting triple digits in short stints the strike outs will pile up.

Only if he's facing the Cub. He'll have to throw 9+ pitches, however.

If Erik Johnson is back on track, the White Sox have are actually finding/developing young pitching.

Montas, Fulmer, Johnson are all close to being in the majors. Johnson is obviously not a sure thing, but he was a top 100 prospect a year ago so it's also pre-mature to give up on him.

If they do re-tool the roster, next year's rotation would include Sale, Quintana, Danks, Rodon and one open spot; one of these guys would be the likely candidate and then two of them would be in the rotation after Danks is done here.

Of course, with an offense as bad as the White Sox, none of this really matters.

MLB.com recently updated their Top 100. Anderson is 45, Fulmer is 50, Montas is 63. The system is gradually improving, and should continue to do so.

The Sox kicked Doug Laumann upstairs and promoted Nick Hostetler to Director of Amateur Scouting.

That's fine but they need to kick Buddy Bell somewhere too. I prefer they kick him in the balls but out the door works too.

If trying to win has resulted in bad records and high draft picks, maybe they should try to lose?

Idiots. You don't need analytics to find amateur hitters. Just tell your scouts what you want then TRUST THEM TO FIND IT. Tell them you want hitters who put the ball in play AND THEY WILL FIND THEM. Tell them you want good defensive players AND THEY WILL FIND THEM. Give your scouts direction AND THEY WILL FIND YOU THE PLAYERS YOU WANT.


White Sox turn to analytics to draft impact bats

CHICAGO -- Where have all the elite home-grown hitters gone?
It's a question a number of teams around baseball could ask, but in this case, it's a question for the White Sox to answer. They are getting daily contributions from infielders Tyler Saladino and Carlos Sanchez, both products of their system, and the club feels that top prospect Tim Anderson, a shortstop, is close. But fans have to go back to the era of Aaron Rowand, Joe Crede and Carlos Lee to find the last time the White Sox had yearly production that they developed.

These impact hitters often come from the top of the Draft, where, for instance, Carlos Correa (No. 1 overall) was selected by Houston in 2012. When the White Sox drafted in the top five two years ago, they went for pitching, selecting Carlos Rodon at No. 3 with no regrets.

Occasionally a gem such as Mike Trout (25th in 2009 by the Angels) is taken late in -- or even past -- the first round. It's on the White Sox to do everything they can to find the best possible players, and that target potentially involves a greater use of analytics in the Draft process.

"We need to get the right guys," said Nick Hostetler, promoted this week to director of amateur scouting for the White Sox.

In that role, Hostetler will be running the club's Draft.

"That's where, for me, the analytics are going to come in," Hostetler said. "We go through all of these different dynamics of a player -- he's got five tools and this and that.

"Over time, you will see us kind of add some more guys with the ability to put the ball in play, showing that lower strikeout rate a little bit. The more balls in play, the more hits we are going to have. It sounds pretty elementary, but at the same time, sometimes we can get a little ahead of ourselves and try to make it bigger than it is."

General manager Rick Hahn points to the organization's admirable recent work done in selecting and developing young hitters after the first round. Micah Johnson was a ninth-round pick, Saladino and Trey Michalczewski were taken in the seventh round, and Marcus Semien -- now with Oakland -- was selected in the sixth. Hahn also talked about using young players with another purpose, acquiring big league talent that can push the club toward a championship. Semien was part of the Jeff Samardzija trade, while outfielder Chris Young was the focal point of a 2005 deal with Arizona involving Javier Vazquez.

Ultimately, patience is a virtue in development. Hostetler mentioned that "quickest to the Majors" has replaced giving players the necessary Minor League at-bats to develop.

"If you can be patient with these guys and give them time, it's going to click," Hostetler said. "It's going to hit at some point. We are not going to be right all the time, but we can't be wrong all the time."

"Ideally, you are looking for a well-rounded baseball player who has the athleticism to do all sorts of things on the baseball field," Hahn said. "Not just premium athleticism, but guys who know how to play the game the right way and can produce both offensively and defensively because of their abilities. That's the model."
