Sox Populi - A Chicago White Sox podcast

Sox Pop on the Farm Podcast 49 — Early season Birmingham Barons update — 2024-04-18

Listen Later

To keep the Sox Pop on the Farm Podcast canon taut, we went back in time to fill in the phantom podcast 49, and in doing so created a doozy of a look at the jewel of the system, the Birmingham Barons. And in doing so, Brett Ballantini again called on president and GM of the club, Jonathan Nelson, to get us up to date on this promising club:

  • Congratulations to recent Barons grad Jonathan Cannon on his pending MLB debut!
  • Birmingham paying tribute to the Negro Leagues with the No. 42 uniform honors
  • The amazing pitching duo of San Diego acquisitions Drew Thorpe and Jairo Iriarte
  • A peek at a player still finding his footing, starter-to-relief arm Jared Kelley
  • Catcher Edgar Quero: Not only mashing to start the season, but commanding the field with his leadership and game-calling
  • The bittersweet nature of sending players up to Charlotte or Chicago, never to see them again
  • The (somewhat) surprise of Brooks Baldwin’s assignment to Double-A and the energy he brings to the club
  • Extremely different players, but similar three-outcome mashers, Terrell Tatum and Wilfred Veras, and what makes them both so special as prospects
  • The game-changing speed of Duke Ellis, back to health and out the gate hot
  • Impressions of Sergio Santos in his first games managing at Double-A
  • How to deal with an ump show (Or: Making sure the pregame food spread is delicious and fluffing those couch cushions in the umpire’s room)

    • Follow Jonathan Nelson on Twitter @JonathanN_Bham, the Barons @BhamBarons, and find tickets to an upcoming Barons game by clicking this link.
