There are plenty of people who really like Adams, and it’s been nice to see him shore him biggest weakness–missing bats–this year in AA.

At this point with Kopech I’m content to just have him expand his innings total as this is already the most he has thrown in a single year of pro ball.

Not since Larry Himes era 1987-1991: Ventura, Thomas, McDowell, Fernandez, Lance Johnson, and Sosa (already in the majors).
Made the Sox the winningest team in baseball for the first half of the 90s, if I remember correctly. Then Reinsdorf fired Himes & excellent manager Torborg, and things went downhill from there.

I wonder if the Sox will have Kopech repeat AA in 2018. Repeating AA seems to have helped Jordan Guerrero. Makes you wonder if the value of Giolito and Lopez is the fact that the other pitching prospects don’t get rushed.

Spencer Adams doesn’t put up the sexy K’s that Kopech puts up, but he’s the same age and has better command. Jon Garland never put up big K numbers either, and he survived with a higher BB/9 rate than Adams.
