fathom Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Thanks for posting. I feel like I’m being pessimistic (shocking) when I say this list isn’t very promising. Way too many relievers or underachieving starting pitcher. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too many relievers or underachieving starting pitcher. I actually think it’s a pretty good list. There’s eight top 100 caliber prospects at the top of it (including several high ceiling ones) plus a bunch of other arms (many who could be SPs) and infielders. Honestly, this is the deepest I ever remember a list being, although the list will be radically different by the end of this season with graduations. I think the relief prospects are simply ranked too high and should be in the 20 to 30 range. The real problem is the lack of power and OF talent. I get the notion that up the middle prospects can “play anywhere” but at some point you need guys with legit power that can fill holes at 1B, DH, & LF. I know it won’t be a popular opinion, but it’s an area we have completely underinvested in since the rough patch where we took Collins, Burger, Vaughn, & Sheets with 1st and 2nd round picks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 This list is terrible. There’s no world in which Caleb Bonemer is a better prospect than Billy Carlson. Thorpe isn’t prospect eligible anymore and there are too many relievers on here. McDougal and Oppor both firmly top 10 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 It feels like a rush job. Need to get a list out ASAP because we have shiny new draft prospects to add. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDougal and Oppor both firmly top 10 Thorpe is still under 50 innings pitched, which right or wrong, is the methodology BA uses. I think he’s slotted appropriately if deemed eligible.

I think deeper is a fair term. I think we have more major league ceilings, but a lot less all star to star type ceilings. The collapse of so many SPs and a real lack of position players is such a big problem for the rebuild. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 22 hours ago, Chicago White Sox said: Thanks! He’s under 50 total innings pitched, so I believe he’s still eligible for prospect status under Baseball America’s methodology but technically would not have rookie status anymore to exceeding 45 days of service time. It’s stupid. He’s not rookie eligible. He isn’t a prospect. I don’t know why BA ignores 45 days active. It makes no sense. 1 hour ago, Chicago White Sox said: Thorpe is still under 50 innings pitched, which right or wrong, is the methodology BA uses.

Chicago White Sox Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I say this all the time, but we are basically getting nothing out of our LatAm operations. Looking at this list, there are only two players that were signed by us at LatAm amateur free agents. I can’t even imagine how good our list would be if we were actually competitive in the Dominican. Hopefully we are a couple years out from thst happening. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I mean no ill will towards Bill Mitchell, but his lists are consistently horrible. If the Sox have 13 players better than McDougal, they have the best system in baseball. Kyle Lodise 12 spots ahead of Antonacci?! Does he watch any games? Not Sox games. I mean baseball games. Little League, anything? There are so many problems, I’m getting my next Top 30 from Duck pees on prospect names dot com. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I don't think you could get any action on a bet like that unless it was better defined what makes you a "starter." Is a relief pitcher a starter if he's the mop up guy on the 26 ? Maybe by starters you just meant position players ? A lot can happen in 3 years especially with possibility of new very rich ownership. There might not be many of the 9 starting positions up for grabs in 3years . Edited July 22 by CaliSoxFanViaSWside 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
