The Knights seemed to hit a bit of a wall as the first half of the season officially came to a close, so I hopped in the car and headed 29 miles north to Kannapolis to see a lot of the White Sox 2022 draft class in action. And they didn’t disappoint. On the offensive […]

Zach Remillard’s call-up may prove to be the feel-good story of the year for the Charlotte Knights. The news caught just about everyone by surprise last Thursday, but the excitement spread rapidly as the news trickled out. A fellow member of the media called me, a friend from the press box texted me, and word

Eloy Jimenez sits, Oscar Colas gets pulled from the Knights’ game last Saturday and didn’t play on Sunday, and White Sox nation connects the dots and anticipates an IL stint and a related call-up. The White Sox are off till Tuesday, so we may have to wait a bit longer for an answer. Regardless, it

Living in Charlotte, it is just a short ride to two of Chicago’s three MILB affiliates. And even though I primarily cover the Knights, there are just some games in Kannapolis and Winston-Salem that are can’t-miss baseball. Friday night’s debut for Sox first-round pick Noah Schultz was one of them. The uber-talented 6-foot-9 lefty struck

Flash back to May 19. The Charlotte Knights were in serious trouble. They’d just dropped four straight at home by a combined score of 45-15. Their best pitcher, Davis Martin, had just been lost to Tommy John surgery, and their next best starter, Jesse Scholtens, was soon to be headed to Chicago, as was one

With Davis Martin’s season-ending injury, Jesse Scholtens moves to the top of the spot-starter queue. Scholtens and Nate Fisher have been Charlotte’s most effective hurlers this year, but only Scholtens is on the 40-man roster. He was a late scratch in his Sunday start in Charlotte. Scholtens, 29, is a right hander who throws a

At some point this season, the White Sox will need a spot starter. And, for now, there are just two options: Nate Fisher and Jesse Scholtens. The elephant in the room, of course, is that the season could be a lost cause by the time the White Sox need another starter. Let’s assume for

Rick Hahn isn’t getting much love these days but early returns suggest he did at least one thing really well in 2023. Thanks to Hahn, the Triple-A Charlotte Knights is home to ample roster depth for his major-league squad. Triple-A baseball — at least as far as affiliates of contending major-league teams are concerned —

A week ago, I questioned whether there were any players in Charlotte who could help the Chicago White Sox other than maybe a few pitchers. Since then, however, the White Sox have won just a single game and the situation has grown dire. The season hangs on by a thread and it begs the question:

As the Chicago White Sox’s horrid start to the 2023 season continues, one can’t help but wonder about the help available at Triple-A Charlotte. Help is surely available on the pitching side of things, but offensively it is a different story. The options are limited given that Jake Burger, Oscar Colas and Lenyn Sosa are
