Many of the White Sox top prospects are playing for the Winston-Salem Dash doing big things. So we thought,

0:39.1

let's devote this podcast to the Dash and explain why this is a pretty big deal for the

0:44.0

rebuild. I know it's Class A. I know it's mid-April, but there's something beneath the surface

0:49.1

or even above the surface that is more than just, hey, these guys are playing well.

0:52.2

It's the way that they're winning that stands out. And then the obvious reason that stands out is that all of these guys that we've learned, you know, gotten to know, the names, where they rank in the system, all are playing a role. And a big one, a major role. And before the season, we looked at Winston-Salem as, man, at least out of the gate, that's going to be a place you want to put a spotlight on.

Like, when the White Sox traded Chris Sale, Luis Pesabe wasn't the guy that you're like, man, that guy needs to produce. But think about if he does. Because Moncada has to produce. Kopec has to hit. But what if Pasabi does too? Yeah. Now all of a sudden, that's taking pressure off of maybe Blake Rutherford or Microodulfa. Mike Rodolfo wasn't on a radar 12 months ago. It wasn't on our radar yet.

2:19.3

And with his season and where he's, his story is phenomenal.

2:23.3

You're going to have guys that you don't expect to hit that hit and guys you do expect to not produce.

2:29.3

This has been part of Rick Han's success story is that he's been able to acquire so we've talked about so much depth
