NorthSideSox72 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 It's prospect rankings time! Our twice-annual prospect rankings are coming out this week. We release in two phases. Here is part one - prospects ranked 16-30, with capsules. We'll do the 1-15 capsules and full list (including just-missed players) on Thursday.

LDF Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 as usual a great write up.... i will not say anything else, b/c i am sure many more will say better things than i can. a little tidbit. wow, some really surprises there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 I'm curious how people react to the list. When we did our voting and discussion, we felt the very top (top 6-7 or so) was strong, the next group (say 8-20-ish) was relatively weak, but the back end (20+) was very strong, all relative to a typical straight-line. Any feedback?

Any feedback? What surprised you? i would really love to discuss this, remembering that there is always 2 sides of every opinion. some players dropping as much. i love it. i really need to see the rest. again great work.

flavum Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) So who's left for the top 15? Rodon, Anderson, Danish, Michalczewski, Beck, May, Adolfo, Rondon, Micah Johnson, Hawkins, Adams. That's 11 in no particular order. Coats, Richmond, Peter, Fry...who am I missing? Are Wendelken and Basto still on the radar?

cabiness42 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 FutureSox Top Prospects, Midseason 2015, Part One - 16-30 I know I drank a lot last night, but apparently I blacked out for the entire first half of the season? Are the Sox in first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you that one of the six "other" names you listed there is in the top 15, and none of the rest made the T30 at all (though some just missed).

flavum Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) So Carlos Sanchez is eligible because he's still a rookie? Davidson? He'll be there, if eligible. Edited January 27, 2015 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDF Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 27, 2015 -> 03:37 PM) Interested in who you guys think should be lower or higher. The best part of the FS list is seeing how this site falls in love with certain guys (Cleluis Rondon comes to mind) and becomes really bearish on others (i.e.Chris Beck) and then comparing the outliers to the big time publications. but that is the beauty of this, we all have a opinion and no one will have 100% correct.

kevo880 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 It's too bad Nieto had to be up with the big club all last season since he is still a prospect in most people's eyes. I wonder where he would rank if he qualified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder where he would rank if he qualified. He'd likely be the highest ranked catcher in the org. Not sure exactly where I'd put him, but probably in the teens. I'm not as high on him as some others though, and I am not convinced he's going to be better than Smith, at least not by a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
