August 11, 2025Aug 11 Hey everyone! I's rankings week at FutureSox. The Just Missed List is published today: https://www.futuresox.net/2025/08/11/futuresox-2025-white-sox-midseason-ju/ We also recorded with Jesus Cano of Baseball America last night and he's seen all the guys out in Arizona.

August 11, 2025Aug 11 1) Man, some good depth now. In years past, I'd have expected bullpen guys like Pallette or Franklin and injured guys like Saucke to crack the backend of the 30. 2) Hell yeah, Hype Hens jersey.

It is great to see the guys who were starters hopefully, who are now downgraded to relievers, able to be pushed down in rankings to adequately represent their falls in value. It is kind of sad how many guys fall into that bucket, but onwards and upwards.
August 11, 2025Aug 11 Okay, Jimmy, pick one out of the above list that you think will land on Sox roster.

August 12, 2025Aug 12 I know Shane Murphy won't get any prospect love and he's probably going to be lucky to avg over 90 mph on the fastball but my God I've never seen someone dominate with command like he has this season. I was super impressed with Thorpe last year and his ability to get hitters to induce weak contact was elite, but Murphy might be even better. The lack of stuff may limit his big league success but all it takes is like 3 innings of watching Murphy pitch and you can't help but think this guy is going to find a way to get hitters out at the big league level.

He’s on our top 30

Any relationship to Robinson Cano or Yannier the relief pitcher?
August 12, 2025Aug 12 Good work, FutureSox, thanks! Optimistic that these 'near misses' still seem like MLB players. I think if the Sox turn into 'buyers' rather than 'sellers' in the near future, they have some pieces. Otherwise, one might think, a few of them have to pan out. Really hoping Herrera and Cruz can take a step forward or at least show something before they turn 20. Lots of international money spent on guys that don't even get close to MLB. They're both Paddy signings, right?

August 13, 2025Aug 13 I don't like rubbing things in, but @fathom and @southsider2k5 may have to eat a little crow after they see the Chairman of the Board's prospect ranking. He's going to be ranked higher than expected on the FutureSox rankings and a fringe top 100 guy.

Considering how low a site like Pipeline has the farm system rated now, I’m still confident in saying he won’t even come close to sniffing top 100 lists.
August 14, 2025Aug 14 Thank you @Y2Jimmy0, @Sleepy Harold and whoever else posts here and contributes to FutureSox. It's an awesome publication and the top prospect lists are always a treat. I hope in the near future when Ishbia takes over the Sox will be a world class organization with a large fanbase so more people can appreciate what you put out there.
