July 13, 20178 yr Author White Sox have Nos. 1, 5, 20, 45, 59, 75 & 83 on the BA mid-season top 100 list now.
July 13, 20178 yr Hopefully it works out because Hahn is doing exactly what most fans asked for. It's pretty amazing the amount of talent he has brought in.
July 13, 20178 yr I think I would slightly favor the Braves to the Sox but it is really close now and the Sox should add some more pieces by the end of July.

July 13, 20178 yr It would be great if we could add one or two more top prospects in trades this summer
July 13, 20178 yr Not to mention lower ranked guys like Adams who have surprised. THere's starting to be some nice depth.
July 13, 20178 yr QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 11:07 AM) and that doesn't include Hansen who is my favorite guy Fullmer's failures seem irrelevant now It also doesn't include L. Robert
July 13, 20178 yr QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 09:20 AM) It also doesn't include L. Robert Actually it does since he was recently ranked #45.
July 13, 20178 yr Robertson is still going to Nats imo, just too much smoke there and Nats learned the hard way that they need him and couple other arms.

July 13, 20178 yr QUOTE (Tony @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 11:08 AM) Ask this question on Aug 1. Hopefully the answer then is "Absolutely" ^
July 13, 20178 yr Rankings also do not include Burger, Sheets, and Skoug, who are three players I'm really intrigued by these days.
July 13, 20178 yr QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 11:40 AM) Rankings also do not include Burger, Sheets, and Skoug, who are three players I'm really intrigued by these days. Not sure that really moves the needle. Every team added some top draft picks.
July 13, 20178 yr They have to have as many top prospects as any other team outside of one or two teams. The question probably is moreso around the quality of depth in the system behind the upper end. Most seem optimistic that the depth is starting to build, but that takes time.

The Braves, IMO, are the only team who has a great argument. They have Nos. 10, 23, 25, 33, 41, 42, 55, 72 & 76. Like I said earlier, either #1 or #2 at worst.

That probably only hurts our rankings, as none of them will break any top 100s, whereas a handful of the top 10 draft picks may.
July 13, 20178 yr QUOTE (bighurt574 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 11:21 AM) Not sure that really moves the needle. Every team added some top draft picks. We have 10 guys that can make an argument for top 100. Most teams have 4 or 5. Depth is certainly not an issue, unless we are talking about organizational 20-30 type guys. These guys are all wild cards no matter what team they play for. To answer the question you asked no question we are number 1.

July 13, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 01:23 PM) KLaw said in chat it's likely Braves 1, Sox 2 As of today, I would agree. As of August 1st, I doubt that is the case.
July 13, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 01:23 PM) KLaw said in chat it's likely Braves 1, Sox 2 And I wouldn't disagree with him at all.

The question probably is moreso around the quality of depth in the system behind the upper end. Most seem optimistic that the depth is starting to build, but that takes time. All I know is I feel a heck of a lot better about our prospects in the 10-20 range than I did a few months ago. I think we have decent depth now. Edited July 13, 20178 yr by OmarComing25
