April 10, 200620 yr 2006 FutureSox Top 25: 25-16 By Jason Gage, Dan Santaromita, and Josh Wolff FutureSox.com The White Sox traded numerous top 25 prospects over the off-season. This puts added pressure on the recent Sox draft and you'll see many of the 05 draft included in the 06 list. With the strenght of the organization at the lower levels, the keys to the Sox minor league system will be in terms of developing the guys in A Ball and getting them up to Bham as soon as possible because the team is very thin on prospects that could help the major league club in the near future. Today, we will release 25-16, Wednesday 16-5, and Friday 5-1. Following the full release we would like to hear your thoughts and answer your questions, so please send those to us at contact@futuresox.com (or post them in this thread). We will than answer the readers questions in an interactive podcast. Click Here for the Rest of the Story
April 11, 200620 yr Wes was a first basemen at UCLA right? From what I've read he could handle the bat pretty good too. Any specific reasons for the switch to SP?

Any specific reasons for the switch to SP? He did both, but the Sox liked his upside more as a pitcher. He excelled as a hitter in the cape cod league a year or so before he was drafted though. Did not have a good final season at UCLA (as a hitter or a pitcher).
