QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Mar 3, 2014 -> 03:16 PM) How did Quintana look overall? A little shaky, but nothing to fret about.

Now Leesman.

Parker Frazier taking over for Quintana.

They're not even showing where the ball goes when it's hit... They keep the camera at the pitcher's back and I'm forced to guess what's happening... Smh...

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 26, 2014 -> 02:16 PM) Alright, assuming the 25 man roster in Chicago goes like this... C Tyler Flowers 1B Jose Abreu 2B Gordon Beckham SS Alexei Ramirez 3B Conor Gillaspie OF Dayan Viciedo OF Adam Eaton OF Avisail Garcia DH* Adam Dunn SP Chris Sale SP Jose Quintana SP Erik Johnson SP John Danks SP Felipe Paulino RP Nate Jones RP Matt Lindstrom RP Scott Downs (L) RP Donnie Veal (L) RP Daniel Webb RP Mitchell Boggs RP Ronald Belisario Bench Josh Phegley © Bench Jeff Keppinger Bench Alejandro De Aza Bench Paul Konerko Here is who my guess is will be at each level, followed by a list of guys for each level that I just couldn't find a spot for. In the case of AAA, it is a loooooong list of extra guys. The surplus is mostly in pitchers across the system right now, and I had to put guys who really should be starting (i.e. Blough, Recchia, Leyer, Freudenberg), into some bullpens.

Even if it's not likely to be 100% accurate, it's still a great reference tool. I tried making one of these about a week ago for personal use and I just gave up. Only thing I noticed is you have Danish in Kanny and WS.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 25, 2014 -> 10:48 AM) I see a couple requests for big boards, aka org depth charts, or the like. Those would be pretty huge and tough for a Podcast format, in terms of discussions. However, I think I can do an article on it and put the information up on FutureSox later in ST, if people would like to see that. An organizational depth chart would be awesome.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Feb 24, 2014 -> 08:52 AM) The assignment was terrible, but age really has nothing to do with it. Carlos Sanchez was starting at AAA at the same age, and there have been quite a few phenoms in the majors at the same age. Age is not a qualifier, skill progression is, and I agree the Sox made a terrible decision moving him up, but because his skillset wasn't developed enough, not because of his age. Yeah, but Sanchez has been playing pro ball since he was 16 or 17 and had four seasons of experience prior to his full season in Charlotte last year. Not exactly the same situation as Hawkins. As far as phenoms who have made it to the majors at Hawkins' age, well, he's raw and we all knew that from the start. So again, it's not really comparable. Hawkins simply wasn't ready for A+ and his age, while maybe not the deciding factor, was a factor nonetheless. We hold it against guys who are too old for their level, and the same is applied to players who are too young for their level given their "rawness."

I think Mitchell will see the bigs this year if he's anything but terrible. Conversely, I can easily see him performing poorly again to the point where we give up on him. Either way, I can't see him ever being anything more than a 4th OF. I'm still as high on Hawkins as ever. He has the highest ceiling out of all these guys and probably our entire organization as well. He should repeat A+, hopefully cut down on the Ks, improve his contact, and be ready for Birmingham next season. Thompson probably has the highest floor and will at worst be a solid starter, I've never been high on Walker and I can't see him ever getting more than a cup of coffee.

Alex Rios and Clayton Richard.

The 68 million dollar man.

Is there any chance that Rienzo could make it as our long man?
