Sign me up for a Lucroy-Braun package to the White Sox. That'd require Tim Anderson and pitching prospects.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 23, 2015 -> 08:14 PM) Did you hear he has good makeup? Observed it, and yeah from talking with him and seeing how he interacts with coaches (asking persistent questions) and teammates, I think it's fair to say so.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Oct 23, 2015 -> 06:55 AM) Up to .357/.500/.429 after yesterdays performance. Man would that be a huge coup if he could produce a 700+ OPS with his defense and speed. Next year is crucial for him. Not very confident about his hit tool developing, but I like high-ceiling, up-the-middle guys with good makeup. Will be quite the test for him at AA, assuming he starts there.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Sep 7, 2015 -> 09:31 PM) @philgrogers: White Sox 3B Trey Michalczewski, 20, finishes 2nd in Carolina League w/75 RBIs. A switch-hitter, he's driven in 171 runs in 318 pro games. Haven't read much on him. Anyone seen him or know about him? BP: In game: , ,

Blackmark gets outs.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Sep 3, 2015 -> 10:31 PM) After being pretty boring this season, Kanny should be really interesting next season with a lineup potentially of Zangari, Zavala, Glines, Adolfo, Cruz, etc. This.

Glasnow is arguably the toughest pitcher to square up...in all of baseball. Though, 0-4 with 3Ks is still 0-4 with 3Ks.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Aug 21, 2015 -> 06:12 PM) I've been out of town and missed these but really good job on the videos by Will. Thanks homie.

More on Tago: http://dashboard.mlblogs.com/2015/08/06/da...-major-success/ "Former Dash right-hander Peter Tago mainly used a curveball as a secondary pitch during his first four years of professional baseball after being drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the supplemental first round, 47th overall, in 2010. However, upon arriving to White Sox Spring Training in February after being taken in the Triple-A phase of the Rule V Draft, Tago worked with Dash pitching coach J.R. Perdew and Kannapolis pitching coach Jose Bautista to develop a slider. The results have been staggering: During the four years Tago spent in the Colorado system, lefties bashed him to a .276/.406/.408 tune. However, across Kannapolis, Winston-Salem and Birmingham this season, left-handed batters have only hit .211/.302/.276. “It’s just an easier pitch for me to throw as far as secondary to lefties,” said Tago, who was promoted to Double-A Birmingham on July 25. “It’s hard and it’s not easy to pick up out of my hand as compared to when I was throwing a curveball previously in my career. “It’s based off the fastball – I can throw it with the same arm speed and same arm action as my fastball, and that is what gets the hitter to commit.”

QUOTE (LDF @ Aug 6, 2015 -> 11:13 PM) another arm.... where and how does this team get all the luck for acquiring pitchers. It really is impressive and a huge organizational strength - top to bottom. Has as much to do with scouting and player dev. as it does luck.

Barons RHP Peter Tago is a stud. 23 y/o former first-rounder of the Rockies in his last 10 games w/ Barons (and Dash): 17.1 IP, 9 H, 2 ER, 25 SO, 8 BB, 1.04 ERA, and 6 saves.

That's the point. Anderson has a track record, even in spite of his raw of tools, and has produced at every single level. Fulmer was just drafted and we don't yet know how he will translate or what the White Sox have. What it comes down to for me is that with Rodon graduated, Anderson is the #1 prospect by default. I say that in part because his ceiling is huge even if he moves to CF (or honestly even 2B), which is a legitimate possibility. But more importantly because he's done nothing to be moved down a spot. This is his first year in AA and he is absolutely thriving; he really is. For someone that didn't do amateur showcases and was strictly a basketball player until his junior year at JC, his career thus far is remarkable. And don't get me wrong: I absolutely love Fulmer – very reasonable to think he could be a mid-rotation starter or an elite closer.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 5, 2015 -> 02:54 PM) I think Carson Fulmer ahead of Tim Anderson is crazy but the rest of the list is about what I expected. I'm with you on this..

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 3, 2015 -> 11:10 AM) My thoughts: Guerra at 30 over guys like Leyer, Wheeler, Rondon (assuming he's not in top 15), Rodriguez, Robbins, Almonte, Chalas, and Martinez is a joke to me. But, that's really nit picking since he's at 30. Love that Wendelken finally made the list. I really think he can be a Petricka type pitcher. Love that the young guys are finally coming into their own it looks like, like Cruz, Jarvis, Clark. I'm willing to bet Savala, Rodriguez, and Almonte will crack the top 30 next year. I think Erwin is too high, low 20s sounds right. Guerra's proximity to majors and his arsenal earned him the 30-spot. Totally agree with you on Erwin.

QUOTE (oneofthemikes @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 10:52 AM) He'll wind up costing just as much though. KW doesn't view prospects as future major leaguers, he views them as a means to acquire current major leaguers. The farm system is there to help the major league team. Whether that means home grown talent or acquiring ML players with them, so be it. Prospects are currency.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 28, 2015 -> 01:18 PM) What's the story on Wheeler? I'd do this trade, I'm not sure the Reds do it though. He's a reliever, low-mid leverage if he makes it.

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Jul 27, 2015 -> 09:10 PM) Zach Fish, Tanner Banks, and Evin Einhardt were named Pioneer League All-Stars, all way too old for the level but Fish has some real impressive numbers, also youngest of that trio at 22 Had best raw power on Kanny team (in May) – big project at catcher, not competent at all.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jul 23, 2015 -> 10:52 PM) No interest in Pentecost unless they wont to throw him in. The guy may never be able to handle the rigors of catching in pro ball and is coming off his second shoulder surgery in the last year. His bat isn't good enough to play elsewhere so it would really only be a good acquisition in that fans would know him as a former first round pick. A trade with Toronto probably needs to center around pitching as thats where they are the deepest and have an assortment of guys to choose from. It also gives the Sox some depth to deal from this winter to fill holes in the offense. If you get Hoffman, Sanchez, Stroman, Norris, Osuna, or Reid-Foley it gives you some flexibility to move guys like Beck, Montas, Danish, and even Q over the winter to fill in the holes on the offensive side. Reid-Foley is the only one in that group that *might* be dealt. No chance in hell we get Hoffman, Sanchez, Stroman, Norris, or Osuna (who is essentially their closer at the moment).

Birmingham's game was postponed.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Jul 16, 2015 -> 08:26 AM) How do you leave Danish out of the top 6? A 20 year old in AA that has posted a 2.83 ERA in July's 19 IP. Yes, he may just be Jon Garland, but he's going to pitch in the majors for a long time as a #3-4 starter. I like Jacob May for instance, but I don't see how you can put him above Danish. Totally agree with you -- was really surprised that Chris Beck, a swingman, was ahead of him. What Danish is doing at AA as a 20 year old is pretty remarkable for a HS pitcher. But we've come to realize that Danish is not your typical unrefined HS pitcher.

Thank you for the feedback! Bautista was great.
