With the Chicago White Sox putting on an abysmal performance last week, it’s hard to not get frustrated. But the minor league teams and top prospects are still putting on a show: Charlotte, Winston-Salem and Kannapolis are all second in their divisions and very much involved in the playoff hunt in the early season.
Not only are the farms off to a competitive start, they had a busy transaction week. Eloy Jimenez is back — at the expense of Courtney Hawkins. Jimenez has not collected a hit as of yet, but with Ryan Cordell’s injury Sox fans should see him in Charlotte soon enough.
