September 23, 20169 yr http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/2016...Ldzy2KuisThX.97 Baseball America has begun to rank the top 20 prospects in each league. In the AZL, they had White Sox SS Amado Nunez at #19. Fernando Tatis was #10 who they traded for James Shields. In the Pioneer League, Alec Hansen is #2 behind Riley Pint and 7th round LHP Bernardo Flores is # 20.
September 23, 20169 yr That is just the icing on the cake with Shields. He (Tatis, Jr.) probably won't have the career his father did, but that trade sucks so bad on multiple levels.
September 24, 20169 yr So Baseball America not fans of Fisher and Schnurbusch? I guess Call missing the list is not surprising because he got promoted. But ... the other two left out because of age or projected limitations?
September 24, 20169 yr Author Bill MItchell did his prospect chat with info on many of the Sox players. Looks like NorthSideSox got some questions in. I'm not sure if I can post that stuff in here though

I'm not sure if I can post that stuff in here though As a general rule, it's OK to post stuff from behind a paywall in SMALL snippets. You can't post the whole transcript of a chat, but you can post like 1 or 2 Q&A pairs, and then link to the larger article for people to pay or not pay as they'd like.

Mitchell was asked (by me, lol) about both of them, among a few others. He actually had positive info about both, just neither were good enough to make the league T20. Keep in mind it's a 14-team league, and there's a lot of talent to compete with, so not making a Top 20 doesn't necessarily mean they aren't prospects. Furthermore, the PIO is probably the least-seen league in all of stateside MiLB. Mitchell, for example, never actually saw GTF in person - he was going on reports he got from various sources (in fact we, FS, gave him a few tidbits earlier in the year, though we didn't see GTF in person this year either).

Preller was suspended for intentionally withholding medical records on the players he traded this summer, most often the Pomerantz trade is talked about, but the White Sox deal for Shields is usually also noted in the articles that discuss the Padres practices.

Don't hold your breath waiting for compensation.
