White Sox Minor League Update


RHP Dexter Carter was assigned to Kannapolis today. Part of the Jake Peavy trade, he swiftly imploded after going to the Padres.  Returning to the White Sox, where he experienced some success, maybe he'll become a sort of prospect again.  Here's a scouting report from Mike Newman from a couple years ago (check out the link for the full version as well as video):

 

One of the biggest questions of the 2009 minor league season is how much weight to put into a 22-year old in full season A ball leading all of MILB in strikeouts. With 138 strikeouts in 111 innings, Carter’s strikeout totals jump off the page. A 2.76 FIP and 4.31 K/BB ratio is also impressive. However, as a 13th round pick and older prospect, does his repertoire match the numbers?

...

Going forward, Dexter Carter will always be a family favorite due to his being gracious enough to give my son his warm up pitch. However, his pure stuff alone profiles as more of a bullpen arm than a true starting pitching prospect. With significant improvement on his change up, he could be more, but at 22 already, his still being a work in progress means he will have to take a big step forward this offseason to show he’s ready for a AA assignment.

you're aware of what an organizational player is, right?

if his name wasn’t kenny williams jr., no one would be mentioning this. he would just be some guy who fills a need in the organization.

I dunno. I'd mention it.

I mean, that’s terrible. As long as he’s not blocking anyone I don’t care and his struggle is more for amusement purposes.

The fact that KW drafted him that early makes it even funnier.

no. you're lying. you wouldn't mention it.

if you were telling the truth, you’d be whining to us about how daniel wagner or something is a shitty player.

and here’s another outfielder the white sox could have drafted but “fell” to the athletics a few picks later.

http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=house-001tyr

it’s the 6th round. guess how those guys play. like kenny williams jr. keep this silly meme on the other whiny white sox prospect sites where it belongs.

by larry on May 26, 2011 1:19 PM CDT up reply actions  

it would be alot easier if he werent picked in the 6th round

especially when no one was gonna take him until late in the draft….a 6th round pick can still be a useful pick; baseball prospectus criticized the decision, especially since williams wasnt projected to be anything useful…..if there looking for a guy to fill a need than pick him late in the draft, not in the 6th round

by stretch33 on May 27, 2011 8:38 AM CDT up reply actions  

Old for his league obviously

But he hit .250 / OPB .306 last year, it’s not like he was embarrassing the franchise by being out there. Clearly he’s not looking like a major league talent, but I don’t think I would call his struggles epic. Guys on his own team are hitting far worse than he is, and older. Christian Colonel for example.

And in our farm system? I would find it hard to believe he’s blocking anyone.

by Grinder in Training on May 26, 2011 1:09 PM CDT up reply actions  

he's a corner OF/DH. Put those numbers in that context.

And I don’t hear anything good about his defense, either.

hector santiago

always was intrigued by this guy, primarily because he was a lefty in a system essentially devoid of them, but also because he struck people out and limited the walks. however, the white sox didn’t seem particularly interested since he spent 2009, 2010 and started 2011 with the dash. this season, the white sox converted him from reliever to starter. and finally promoted him to AA. his effectiveness converted with him, as you can see:

http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=santia001hec

supposedly he’s added a screwball, which is certainly at least a novelty. not sure why the white sox finally decided to wake up to him but he’s still something to watch in the system.

i recall hearing about carl hubbell in ken burns' baseball documentary

and how his arm was twisted inwards from throwing the screwball so much. however, he did pitch for 15 years.
i guess, as with all pitchers, it is the luck of genetics.
surprised more players don’t take the risk though. maybe because teams don’t want to.

he said come close, so i don't know if there is value in learning one,

with the thinking that players just won’t have ever seen a screwball, if there are other pitches that mimic qualities of the pitch.
seems like if someone could throw it really well, a la hubbell, they could make themselves a career out of it.
time for me to find some youtube videos of the pitches mentioned methinks.

Fernando.

The last “famous” screwball, IIRC. I used to throw a natural one about 40 years ago – I was discouraged from doing so because of potential arm issues, but it came naturally for me. Great movement. Screwed up the umpires for sure who were not used to calling that kind of strike from a righty.

Highly underrated, Mark Kotsay became the best defensive designated hitter in American League history in 2010.

Don’t look now, but White Sox outfield prospect Jared Mitchell might be figuring something out at High-A Winston-Salem. He’s hitting .355/.432/.581 in his last 10 games, with two homers. More importantly, he has four walks and just five strikeouts in that span. His overall line is now .224/.277/.408, which isn’t exactly good but represents considerable improvement over where he was two weeks ago. His overall BB/K still stinks at 11/61, but the reduction in strikeouts and increase in walks over the last stretch is impressive. We need to see if this continues and the sample is tiny, but it is worth watching. The tools have always been here. White Sox officials have spoken recently about Mitchell making adjustments to his swing as he works the rust off from missing all of 2010. Perhaps that is having an impact.

And a 22 percent K rate. There’s hope for him yet.
