Jose Abreu Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 So basically switch Hansen for Madrigal and there's your top 100 for us. No Collins anymore either, and no BasabeĀ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoedairy Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 3. Eloy 13. Kopech 26. Robert 33. Madrigal 45. Cease 66. Dunning 91. Rutherford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Seven top 100 prospect,Ā including five top 50. Ā Thatās not too shabby, but Iām going to whine anyways because I donāt see how Basabe doesnāt make the cut but Kyle Lewis does? Ā Basabe is a year young and has greatly outproduced Lewis to date. Ā And Iām not sure the tools are that much different to be honest. Ā Basabe may have a little less power, but he makes up for that in speed. Ā I just donāt see what Basabe has to do to crack one of these lists. Ā I also think itās nuts Hansen has fallen completely off the list, but Iām willing to give that more of a pass given how bad heās been since coming back from injury.

joejoedairy Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 The sox top 30 was updated as well. Of note: Hansen down to 10, I guess it makes sense at this point. He'll bounce back though. Steele Walker at 12 Gonzalez up to 14 Pilkington at 18 Laz Rivera in there at 27 Stiever at 28 Ā Interesting to see how it will compareĀ to Futuresox top 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Any lower ranked guys yall are high on? I'm pretty optimistic on Stiever.Ā I think he has chance to be a mid rotation guy who could move fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I think most people don't think Basabe is an everyday CF, so if they are both corner OF guys, then the power is more important than the speed. And I would say Lewis has a good amount more raw power than Basabe.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ā Iāve watched him quite a bit and while he may never be elite out there, he seems to have all the ability in the world to play a solid CF.

I get being down on Sheets, not a lot of space for a 1B that hasn't showed pop.Ā Not that I am down on him, mind you as he has shown pretty well, but if the power doesn't come, I get not buying into his prospect status.Ā Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory I agree, but Sheets is someone with his size and pedigree that has no excuses for such a bad power showing so far.

PolishPrince34 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Concern was Wake Forest is very hitter friendly environment.Ā Also is hr distance was one of the lowest with college players that year.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
