With not a whole lot going on White Sox-wise, seems a good time to do this. What questions do you have about White Sox prospects and/or the farm generally? Add your questions in this thread. We'll pull questions from here and other social media channels, and do a "mail bag" type piece this week.

 

Ask away!

 

I half-follow things, but I like keeping up on farm. From that casual follow perspective:

-It seems like the term "raw" often applies to our LatAm prospects, even as they hit stateside. I feel like this is a little surprising because at this point those prospects may have had up to 2 years of "professional" ball after signing. Are the programs they go into after signing at age 16 professional or are they no different than a high school/club team schedule?

 

If this is wrong, and it's not actually a "thing" that LatAm prospects are more raw stateside then delete my account.

The 2016 draft class had a great deal of early success from several of its members, most notably Zack Burdi, Alec Hansen, Alex Call, Jameson Fisher, and Aaron Schnurbusch.

 

1) What does the organization plan to do with these players to help them build on their early success?

 

2) How did the organizational scouting philosophy yield these players? Asked another way, what traits did the organization's scouts identify that made them attractive as draft picks, and how will they go about identifying those same traits in other draft prospects moving forward?

Thanks for those questions so far. We also have a bunch from social media.

 

Last call - any other questions to ask?

 

Who will be the next wave of players coming from Latin America into the US parts of the Sox farm system?
