White Sox have Nos. 1, 5, 20, 45, 59, 75 & 83 on the BA mid-season top 100 list now.

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.

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.

and that doesn't include Hansen who is my favorite guy

 

Fullmer's failures seem irrelevant now

It would be great if we could add one or two more top prospects in trades this summer

Not to mention lower ranked guys like Adams who have surprised. THere's starting to be some nice depth.

Actually it does since he was recently ranked #45.

They are either #1 or #2. No lower than that IMO.

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.

ah, didn't see that, thanks for the update.

Ask this question on Aug 1. Hopefully the answer then is "Absolutely"

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.

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.

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.

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.

Parroting everyone else, top 2 with Braves.

And I wouldn't disagree with him at all.

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.
