White Sox Minor Keys: July 22, 2022
Colson Montgomery’s on-base streak didn’t make it back from the All-Star break, as he went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Winston-Salem’s 3-2 loss to Rome.
The streak started back on April 24, the day before Montgomery went on the injured list for a wrist issue. Day 2 came three weeks later when he returned from the injured list.
Over the course of the 50 games, Montgomery hit .344/.448/.519 with nine doubles, one triple, seven homers, 30 walks (plus six HBPs) and 40 strikeouts, all of which you like to see over a 221-PA sample from a 20-year-old. He also got promoted to High-A and placed on the major top-100 prospect lists in their midseason updates, so all in all, he’d probably rate the experience five stars.

Havenโt seen such a team of disappointing blowhards bloviate so much since 2016
Dreary box score day. At least no one got hurt, that we know of.
No mention of Chase Krogman becoming a two way player?
Also, this farm system blows. Fire KW, Hahn, Haber, La Russa, Getz, and sell the team, Jerry.
itโll be ranked a lot higher at the end of this year than last year lol
I really don’t think so…there’s a good chance that it will be the worst-ranked system at the end of the season. Montgomery’s good start gave them a single top 100 prospect but he’s not top 50. And the Sox draft was one of the worst ranked by FV. Obviously, their draftees could surprise in the future. But this season, probably still the 30th or 29th ranked system.
