Grant Taylor, the No. 6 prospect in the White Sox system, has unexpectedly moved from a starting prospect to the major league bullpen due to injuries impacting his playing time. Taylor received news of this transition during spring training, where the team recognized his potential for immediate contribution at the major league level. While fans may hope for a future as a starter, the Sox's strategic choice emphasizes flexibility, allowing room for potential development back to starting roles in the future.
"They told me, when I got sent down from major league camp to minor league camp in spring training, that it was a possibility that I'd move to the bullpen."
"For the Sox' part, they're certainly not against Taylor returning to a starter's development at some point. But this is the way they've gone for the time being, a response to injuries that have severely reduced his playing time the last couple seasons."
