FT35 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 10:28 AM) 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. Agree. Especially now with the Cubs getting significantly stronger today. This should kick the tires on corresponding moves from Washington and Milwaukee.

Their #1 through #20 are very legit, although our system is making huge strides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 02:55 PM) 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. I am going to go out on a limb and say the 10-20 guys are probably better than our 1-10 was as of a few years ago.

winninguglyin83 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jul 13, 2017 -> 04:40 PM) Rankings also do not include Burger, Sheets, and Skoug, who are three players I'm really intrigued by these days. Also does not include Burdi, who has sort of become forgotten even though he was the first player from the entire 2016 draft to make it to AAA.

Acuna, Albies, Maitan, Demeritte, Riley, Pache, Waters, Jackson, Ruiz Allard, Soroka, Fried, Wright, Newcomb, Anderson Gohara, Wentz, Muller, Minter, Morris, Wilson, Toussaint, Weigel, Sims ^^^^All of those players could end up being potential major league players...that is frightening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thxfrthmmrs Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 It's crazy to say that the Sox 11-20 may be better than some teams' top 10. Gone are the days that Nester Molina, Jared Mitchell, or even Carson Fulmer was our #1 prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More amusing is that the first comment, apparently a Sox fan, thought Eloy was a bad get because of his K rate, and that the Sox should have targeted Zack Granite, or Brinson, or Happ instead.

I ignored your reading because I stupidly read bottom two thirds as 21-30, which was too low. So my bad, and they probably won't be Top 100 MLB.

beautox Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Its close between the Braves and the Sox. Mayo in his article today said "it's hard to imagine the White Sox not ascending to the top spot of that list." and Passan feels they're #1 as well. Burger/Sheets/Skoug/Gonzalez don't trend till after 11/12 in our system so I doubt they show up on the top 100 yet. As of today I would say yes we have the #1 system by virtue of having the #1 prospect in addition to the depth Hahn and Hostetler have cultivated over the last two drafts. If you go by BA's mid season ranking the braves have 9 sox have 7, but that's with Collins & Fulmer dropping off and Hansen and Dunning not getting any love when each has been among the best pitchers out of the '16 class. Looking forward to what pipeline pushes forward with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
