Traditionally, Triple-A baseball is not renowned as a prospect haven, but more of a clearinghouse for veteran professionals, keeping busy, fresh and active while they wait for a call of an opening in the major leagues. The Charlotte Knights have an ample supply of these types, but mixed with a selection of top prospects like Yoan Moncada, Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez, Carson Fulmer and Zack Burdi. And early on at least, they’ve used this unique concoction to steamroll International League competition in a merciless fashion that has earned them some mild interest from Human Rights Watch.

Monday saw the Knights play a bit more of a traditional Triple-A game, and accordingly, they suffered their first loss of the season. And so ends our introduction to just telling you what Yoan Moncada did.

Triple-A Charlotte

Moncada ripped his second home run of the year, this time from the right side, while drawing two more walks but also striking out twice more to put his season rate over 30 percent. He picked up his second stolen base in two tries this year, but also made a throwing error (his arm is lauded for power, not accuracy). His line is .391/.462/.652 through five games.

Moncada shows great range getting to a grounder to his left, but wild, spinning throw for an E4 nullifies it. Still things to work on — Kyle Glaser (@KyleAGlaser) April 11, 2017

Mike Pelfrey was knocked around for three runs, five hits and a homer, and struck out two in 2 2/3 innings in his Charlotte debut.

In happier veteran Triple-A Charlotte debuts, Ryan Raburn homered and drew a walk in his first game in the White Sox organization. Recently crowned International League Hitter of the Week Willy Garcia went 1-for-3 with a walk.

Adam Engel, who spent some time in the mix for the outfield spot Jacob May won, has scuffled to start the season, going 2-for-24 with 10 strikeouts in 27 plate appearances.

Double-A Birmingham

What has gotten into Cluey Luis!?! Cleuluis Rondon, the only player in the Jake Peavy trade who has yet to make the majors, has carried the reputation of the best defensive infielder in the organization, but is just too weak of a hitter for it to ever matter. He has a career .211/.288/.273 batting line in parts of seven seasons in the minors, but has started the year 6-for-11, and went 2-for-3 Monday.

Trey Michalczewski had his first big day of the year, going 2-for-3 with a triple and a walk.

High-A Winston-Salem

For the first time this year, Zack Collins went walkless but still banged out two hits, scored and struck out once. A league scout outside of the Sox organization gave some hope to Collins’ prospects of sticking at catcher, praising his throwing and saying he has enough agility to catch, even if his athleticism and quickness are below average for the position. He continues to earn commendations for his advanced plate approach and has started the year hitting .375/.545/.688.

Alex Call collected three singles, including one for a two-out RBI. Luis Basabe has sat out the last two games. The Dash are still looking for their first win.

Low-A Kannapolis

A league source said there’s still plenty of chance that Micker Adolfo, whom the Sox signed four years ago for $1.6 million when he was 16, fails to make the majors, because he’s 20, four levels from the majors and just still so very raw, but that there are still optimistic scouting reports out there for him despite a .228/.287/.358 line and a 35.7 strikeout rate as a pro.

20-year-old Venezuelan Yosmer Solorzano struck out nine and walked just two, and allowed only one run over six innings in his season debut.

Future Sox reports Victor Diaz, the final part of the Chris Sale trade, is sitting on the Kannapolis disabled list.
