Chicago White Sox Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 3 hours ago, KrankinSox said: I've casually followed the system this year, not nearly as intently as I did during the rebuild. Who in the system has a shot at cracking some mid-season top 100 lists? Montgomery, Sosa? Those two, Ramos & Colas would be the favorites IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Montgomery and Sosa will get on there. Not sure about Colas or Ramos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really surprised by the discussion on Ramos. That's kind of what I figured. Sox are towards the bottom in the minor league system rankings. It would be really surprising if they had 4 top 100 prospects given their minors rankings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about Colas or Ramos. No way, but outside of Montgomery I doubt any of these are consensus top 100 guys. Just saying I could one or two of the other three hit a given list.

I wish they would have gone after high schoolers in early rounds in the past. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A legit 20 year old posting a 127 wRC+ in High A with plus bat speed and solid plate discipline seems pretty awesome. Longenhagen has him as our #1 prospect on his current list and Baseball America has him 2nd overall right now. Out of the publications who follow White Sox prospects, you seem to be the lowest and I guess I’m not sure why. I haven’t seen him field much, but neither Longenhagen or Baseball America seems overly concerned about being able to stick at 3B if that’s issue for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been a fan since he was doing well as a 17-year-old in the DSL after coming straight stateside. I just don’t think he’s in top 100 consideration. It’s hard as a corner profile in High-A. He was power but not ridiculous power and that’s usually what it takes. He’s young and he could absolutely break out more in AA or something but I’ll need to see it first. He’s probably the prospect I would trade at the deadline though if he’s super valuable to the industry. He needs to be added to the 40-man in December and I’m just not sure Sox can afford to carry him for years while competing. I’d probably rank him in the 4-6 range right now but the system is definitely better than preseason 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
