It's rankings week for FutureSox. Our first installment of content is the Just Missed list - prospects who were discussed among the writers but just didn't fit into the final top thirty names.

 

Not surprisingly with all this depth, this article is longer than usual, totaling 16 players instead of the usual 10-12 or so.

 

Here's the list, with short blurbs on each prospect.

 

Tomorrow, we publish the 16-30 names. Then Thursday, the complete list.

 

Interesting. A lot of guys who will sniff majors there.

 

Interesting to see Yurchak and Dedelow and no Destino. I would doubt he's in top 30 so yeah, shows the depth.

Guessing this means Zavala made it. Mendick is probably in my top 30 based on the glove but I guess it's fair to want to see him hit in AA first given his age.

With Mendick it's not a matter of age. He's 23 in AA now, which means he's age appropriate and even a little younger than league average. it's more about track record. This is a guy who didn't even have a starting role a year ago.

 

Good stuff! Can't wait to see the rest of the list. It's refreshing to see so many guys on the "just missed" list that would have definitely been ranked just a few months ago.

Most of these dudes would've been top 10 (and some were!) a year ago today. The improvement has been vast, to say the least.

So...rest of the list is out
