It has been essentially predetermined that White Sox pitching prospect Reynaldo Lopez is next in line to receive the call to the Majors. He was classified as the most ready out of the crop of pitching prospects and has done nothing but dazzle in Triple-A, especially as of late. He has allowed two runs or less in each of his last seven starts. Fans who have been anxiously waiting for Lopez to receive the call up might be getting their wish later this week.
Rick Hahn doesn't seem to really mince words when it comes to talking about prospects. The night of the Todd Frazier trade, he casually told the media how Yoan Moncada was getting the call. Furthermore, Hahn recently spoke about how Lopez is really forcing the issue. Lopez himself also said a couple days ago how he feels he is ready for the MLB and how it's getting hard to stay patient in Triple-A. Why is Hahn still waiting until the end of next week to call him up? Apparently he didn't want to start him off at Fenway park or against the Houston Astros.
Take Hahn's quote about getting tickets for Friday for what it's worth, but it sounds like the Reynaldo Lopez era is set to officially take off on the South Side.He said opponents factor in. Starting in Fenway or against Astros maybe not the best way to introduce Lopez.
