Ranking either Robert or Madrigal is difficult at the moment. Just give me like 100 PAs to build an opinion. There should almost be an incomplete rank until they can play a few games. At the moment I'd put Jimenez, Kopech & Hansen all above them simply because I have a much better idea of what those guys could eventually become. If Zack Collins keeps mashing and I keep seeing positive blurbs on his receiving improvements I'd might be inclined to rank him in the top 4.

Some ugly pitching lines tonight, but Henzman keeps rolling. He needs a bump soon.
-
The Baron feed is by far the worst of any MiLB team. It's so bad they shouldn't even bother.
-
I'm 100% in favor of W-S. I hate that we draft advanced college hitters and leave them in the low minors for entire seasons.

For college or the minors too??
I strained an oblique playing softball. Didn't feel right for months. You can't swing a bat for a decent while with a severe strain.

So where does he start? I’m sure he’ll get a token few games at Great Falls, but will he go to Kannapolis or Winston-Salem after that? The IF situation is actually pretty crowded for both clubs. He’ll obviously take precedent over all those guys, but just not sure how aggressive they’ll be with him this year.
Promote Laz and start him in Kanny. No point in wasting ABs in GF.

I just saw the box score Sooners vs Miss State, and our boy Steele did not play. Strange.
He's hurt. Probably done for the college season.

I'm glad the Sox didn't draft Singer, but I'll be really rooting for the kind now.
-
I wouldn't be surprised to see Singer fall a bit more. Happy with the pick.
-
Bohm with a slight lead over Madigral.
-
In general I'd be OK if they just stopped drafting arms in the 1st round period.

I keep expecting to open the box scores and see an inning pitched from Hansen somewhere. Dude's been throwing bullpen sessions for a month, no? Might as well have him throw some live innings.
-
All things considered you have to give Hostetler some props for 16/17 drafts. He gets a pass on Burger as no-one could have seen that coming, but I feel really good about a lot of the arms added from these last two drafts. My only complaint is if we're going to take advanced college players we need to challenge them faster. I don't think there's a lot of value in guys like Gonzalez hitting the crap out of the ball in low-A ball or Henzman throwing a billion ground balls a start. We have way to much dead weight in AA/AAA where we could just push bodies up that may have some future value.

After watching a bit of Singer today I'm on the anyone but Singer bandwagon. I'll be happy with any of the 3 big collage bats.

Love seeing this, especially from Adams who has struggled
Flores and Stephens both get overshadowed but Stephens should be up soon
Just noticed between the three of them, 0 walks.

After reading all the futuresox pieces I can't tell who i want anymore in round 1, so I'm just going to root for Beer in round 2. Just give me two solid collage bats with 1 & 2 and I'll be satisfied.
-
Anthony Villa through 100+ PAs is somehow putting up a near .500 BABIP. That's just crazy. That dude needs to pick my lotto numbers.
-
What's the deal with A.J Puckett? Haven't heard anything in a while on him.
-
My original post was on May 4th, when Rutherford had exactly 0 home runs. While it's nice to see him show some pop I'm still not a believer.

Does that make you feel better about his ability to turn on a pitch and launch?
In my defense when I made that comment he had not hit a single HR this year. Maybe he saw me talking shit and decided to prove me wrong.

I am curious as to what information this opinion is based. He is slugging .500 with 14 XBH. All while playing at about a year and a half younger than the league.
I've just never really seen him turn on a pitch and launch. I've watched a decent amount of his ABs and it's a lot of ground ball singles or low lying line drives. His physical appearance might play a part, he's a god damn twig.
-
Madrigal's contact rate is insane. It's hard to pass on a kid that never strikes out.
-
It would be nice to see Eloy take a few more walks. He might be a little too good at making hard contact.
How do the newly drafted players fit into the white sox top prospect list?

I have nearly 200 IP to evaluate Hanson and despite the time he's missed I'm working under the assumption his injury is not serious. After 100 PAs from both Robert & Madrigal I may change my opinion, but for now he has the benefit of the doubt.
It would put my mind at ease if they came out and said he's do back soon. The longer things stay quiet like this the more paranoid I become.
