roncag Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Montgomery at 189 is beyond puzzling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 He only had 3 top 100 prospects for the Sox, with Schultz being 96 and Carlson 100. What I will say is I appreciate how evaluators have started to separate themselves from each other, instead of being a hive mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Braden at 189 is baffling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) Bergolla is 199 for what it's worth. Kiley had him as the most likely out of the 100 to 200 to win a batting title? Quote William Bergolla, SS, Chicago White Sox (ranked No. 199) This category is especially difficult because truly elite hitters will be in the top 100, so from this group, you need to look at players with limited pro experience, elite speed to help steal extra hits or a truly one-dimensional offensive threat. Bergolla is the same age as collegiate players in the 2026 draft, and he had a 4.7% strikeout rate in Double-A last year. He's quite one-dimensional at the plate with bottom-of-the-scale raw power and solid-to-average speed, but he has incredible bat-to-ball ability that has been proven at a young age against top pitching. The fact that he has so little power and not a ton of raw speed (both are needed at some level to make this trick work in the big leagues) is why this is still quite speculative and he just barely made the top 200.

PolishPrince34 Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 I couldn’t believe how low Montgomery was. Yesterday was the top 100. I went through it 3 times thought I skipped him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) Kiley has the Sox 20th amongst farm systems. He has his reasoning on Braden at 189 within I guess? Quote 20. Chicago White Sox ($153 million) Last year: 2nd, $313 million Top 100 prospects: 3 Top-ranked prospect: Caleb Bonemer (No. 34) The White Sox have done a solid job in their past two drafts, landing Billy Carlson, Jaden Fauske and Kyle Lodise in 2025 after taking Bonemer, Hagen Smith and Sam Antonacci in 2024. I have them all in the top dozen prospects in the system. Via trade, Chicago added Braden Montgomery from the 2024 class in the Garrett Crochet deal. Montgomery has every-day potential, but I'm beginning to worry about his contact ability as well as his ability to tap into his power in games. Christian Oppor and Tanner McDougal are both arrow-up arms with a chance to break through comfortably into the top 100.
