On the most recent episode of the FutureSox Podcast Ian Eskridge and James Fox opened up the show with some discussion on White Sox big league club topics including Kyle Teel's surge, Chase Meidroth's Matrix slide, Grant Taylor, & Luis Robert's odd split. They then moved to the minor league side of things touching on the massive week and great month of June for Colson Montgomery, Hagen Smith getting back on the mound, and Tanner McDougal with 3 straight fantastic starts for the Barons. For the second segment of the podcast starting at the 24 minute mark they were joined by Locked On Guardians Jeff Ellis to talk about the MLB Draft. They discussed overall thoughts on the class, college & prep bats and arm strengths, and who we could expect to fly off the board to the Sox and the thoughts on what the Guardians will do. They also got a possible trade idea for the White Sox and Guardians.

We had the full South Side Sox minors crew together (Joe Resis, Kristina Airdo, Melissa Sage-Bollenbach, Hannah Filippo) joining host and reluctant minor league recapper Brett Ballantini to discuss recent trends and the overall look of the system, along with discovering how badly Brett can beat a bad joke into the ground. With a full crew, we opted for a potluck approach this time around, so here were our topics in rough order of appearance: Rundown of the state of the system, if the season ended today there would be only one playoff team in the mix, the Birmingham Barons (themselves just 28-24 at time of recording) Joe's first topic was an obvious one: Kyle Teel, just called up from Charlotte. Praise for his game, appreciation that the White Sox are embracing a youth movement (one year late), as it were, and acknowledgement of Teel fighting his way out of a long and rough slump in-between hot starts to April and ends to June Kristina voluntarily chose to discuss the wincably-bad Charlotte pitching staff Melissa countered with talk of Lucas Gordon's case for promotion Hannah talked Kannapolis clubbers, including the impressive Caleb Bonemer Brett wrapped up the first half with a rundown of the system and posing the question of why a top-ranked system produces so few wins Joe started the second half with an in-depth study of Samuel Zavalas and the extended Zavala family Kristina flagged concern in Birmingham surrounding the disappearance of Hagen Smith Melissa says whoa there, how have we talked this long without mentioning site hero RIKUU NISHIDA in Birmingham? Brett's pick is to take a WAR review of the Garrett Crochet trade and estimating that this could be at the very least a win-win deal for both sides Hannah laments the loss of Oscar Colás, now an Angel Please support our White Sox writing and podcasts.
