"Project Birmingham": Montgomery, 12 other A-Ball players promoted to AA
Looking at B-Ref...Leury was in there. And for what it's worth on my end, I'm bundling everyone together into a SS/2B group. It always felt like TA had the inside track on SS.

This more than anything confirms for me that Josh Harrison is getting picked up. Sox are gonna have Montgomery, Sosa, Popeye — and to a lesser extent Romy and Yolbert — duke it out like they did with TA, Semien, Yolmer and Micah Johnson. Harrison will be Jimmy Rollins.

That class has taken a beating - but at least it will have some interesting names going into next year. Kath will sink or swim next year. Hopefully Burke builds off his season - his AA FIP (4.69) isn't terrible. Gil Luna's injury this year sucked. McDougal we knew about coming about of the draft. It was really unfortunate that Tatum was doing a 1960s player impression with the amphetamines, because he was fun to follow. Hopefully he picks up where he left off.

Return of G-Elite-O- 8/17 Games
Small sample size but his .214/.267/.495 line at Charlotte over 20 games isn't that great.- 08/17: Astros at Sox. 7:10, NBCSN
Romy absolutely hauling- Leury to IL, Romy up

Oh thank god Engel is in CF.- Your Mid Season Top 10
Age is working against Stiever + the fact that he was getting rocked in Charlotte before he went down. He wasn't flashing grade A stuff in the majors either - the feeling around here when he got called up was "should have traded him after 2019 when he had prospect helium."- 08/17: Astros at Sox. 7:10, NBCSN
- Your Mid Season Top 10
Like I said, I feel like 1-10 have separated from the pack (and are so, so much improved from the start of the season). The 11-15 could have been in just about any order, but my reasoning for that group: Yoelqui would have fallen hard, but his recent turnaround is very encouraging and he still has some good athleticism and tools. Martin is already at the MLB level and I give big points for that. Cannon's got good draft pedigree. Romy was basically here but got derailed by injuries. Chapelli is raking and is only in the DSL cause of tax reasons. It could totally just be a man amongst boys situation, but it's the same absurdist numbers Robert put up with (albeit a year older). 16-20 is basically the "upside is still there but hasn't quite produced yet" squad. 21-25 Mieses has good production, is a lefty (might be superficial, but a plus for me) - I just want to see him at Birmingham before moving him up. Same for Simas. This felt right for Sprinkle so early in his career - he could be a fast riser based on the post-draft analysis. Yolbert and Perez are lower because of their cooling off, but even if they both end up as backups, we've seen how valuable that can be. 26-30 Ellis feels like he's gonna be Adam Engel's eventual replacement. Dalquist is hanging on by a thread, but he gets the "is a high school righty draft pick" thread. Gladney's power keeps him on the list vs. say, Beard or Bailey. Bilous is pretty much here for stuff. Hackenberg is here because he's got an okay OBP + good defense (especially during the game I saw in person)- Your Mid Season Top 10
Taking a stab at a more solidified list. 1-10 I feel good about, but after that it became a harder rank. Colson Montgomery Oscar Colas Bryan Ramos Norge Vera Noah Schultz Lenyn Sosa Jose Rodriguez Peyton Pallette Cristian Mena Sean Burke Yoelqui Cespedes Davis Martin Jonathan Cannon Romy Gonzalez Loidel Chapelli Matthew Thompson Jared Kelley Tanner McDougal Wes Kath Erick Hernandez Luis Mieses Kohl Simas Jordan Sprinkle Carlos Perez Yolbert Sanchez Duke Ellis Andrew Dalquist DJ Gladney Jason Bilous Adam Hackenberg- Updated MLB Pipeline Sox Top 30
That top 10 just feels so much better than earlier in the year. Feels like they're underrating both Colson and Colas- Another Comeback White Sox Winner !!
Nope, it's because he has neon cleats and "neon" sounds similar to "Yoan"- Another Comeback White Sox Winner !!
