November 6, 201213 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 6, 2012 -> 09:59 AM) In search of the next Quintana or Veal? http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/prospe...ee-agents-2012/ I know I am Captain Obvious with this but those were two very sweet signings. I liked the Veal one at the time but didn't know much about Quintana.
November 6, 201213 yr Sox list: Chicago White Sox RHP: Shane Lindsay (AAA), Henry Mabee (AA), Matt Zaleski (AAA) C: Damaso Espino (AAA) SS: Tommy Manzella (AAA), Ray Olmedo (AAA), Greg Paiml (AA) OF: Greg Golson (AAA), Cyle Hankerd (HiA), Conor Jackson (AAA), Jose Martinez (AA) A couple names there are interesting. Conor Jackson and Jose Martinez. Jackson was filler, but did pretty well, might be a guy they want to keep around for future callup in an injury situation. Jose Martinez was highly touted at one time, but just hasn't put it together with the bat, and the Sox do have some talented OF's that they don't need to protect. Should be interesting to see if the Sox sign either one. The rest are pretty uninteresting.

November 6, 201213 yr On that list of names I recognize that seem like they could find "it": Adrian Cardenas, 2B - Former high draft pick, good eye at the plate and as I recall was a solid defender. Could light some fire under Beckham in addition to Sanchez. Brian Bogusevic, OF - Local guy, high-draft pick and had some decent ML moments Fabio Castro, LHP - Former Sox guy, thought he was gonna be something, maybe he can re-invent himself as a LOOGY Edited November 6, 201213 yr by maggsmaggs
November 6, 201213 yr Let's see if Hahn scoops up the big 6'10 Andrew Brackman from the Reds. Former 1st RDer hasn't seen success since 2010, but if Coop can hone his control issues, he should be worth a look. Do a Phil Humber number on him.

He couldn't get guys out in A ball last year.

Sounds a lot like a guy we had in the system until last year, Garrett Johnson.
November 7, 201213 yr QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Nov 7, 2012 -> 09:44 AM) Basebal lAmerica will come out with the White Sox Top 10 Prospects on Nov. 12 Good to know. FutureSox will do ours in January or February, prior to Spring Training but after most of the offseason moves are done.
November 7, 201213 yr QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Nov 7, 2012 -> 10:44 AM) Basebal lAmerica will come out with the White Sox Top 10 Prospects on Nov. 12 Excellent. It's always nice to know what the benchmark site thinks of each of our players.
November 9, 201213 yr QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Nov 6, 2012 -> 12:34 PM) Jose Martinez was dubbed Juan Gonzalez-like by Phil Rogers. HAHAHAHAHAHA. I don't think any amount of steroids could've helped Jose. That dude is super skinny.
November 10, 201213 yr Ifran Becerra was with the DSL White Sox last season, stats weren't bad. He'll be 22 next year so he's getting up there for that level.
November 10, 201213 yr Here are some interesting names in my book: Brandon Wood Omar Luna Yangervis Solarte Kleininger Teran Walter Ibarra Mario Lisson
November 15, 201213 yr QUOTE (QuickJones81 @ Nov 9, 2012 -> 08:07 PM) Here are some interesting names in my book: Brandon Wood Omar Luna Yangervis Solarte Kleininger Teran Walter Ibarra Mario Lisson Wasn't Brandon Wood that "can't-miss" prospect for the Angels like 3 years ago?
November 15, 201213 yr QUOTE (farmteam @ Nov 15, 2012 -> 09:59 AM) Wasn't Brandon Wood that "can't-miss" prospect for the Angels like 3 years ago? Yep, unfulfilled promises big time for this guy, but he's not too far gone that somebody might not catch lightning in a bottle given the right coach and the right situation.
November 22, 201213 yr Another interesting name...Josh Bell...He's done nothing in the majors when he's been called up over the past few years but put up his best numbers in AAA last year .311/.372/.881. He's still only 26 and could still have some major league potential. I'm not calling for him to be the guy starting at 3B but it'd be nice to have him in AAA if he can soon translate his MiLB numbers to the bigs. And he's a local kid so maybe some home cooking will help him out. Edited November 22, 201213 yr by 2nd_city_saint787

Brandon Wood = Dallas McPherson. Big numbers inflated by the Pacific Coast League.
November 28, 201213 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 23, 2012 -> 01:59 PM) Brandon Wood = Dallas McPherson. Big numbers inflated by the Pacific Coast League. As a 20 y/o Wood hit 43 HRs (and 101 XBHs!!) in A+ ball. The Cal league is a big-time hitters league, though that was an impressive season by any standards. He and McPherson were both big disappointments.
December 5, 201213 yr Author Tommy Viola @Tommy_the_V Anthony Carter, who was non-tendered by @whitesox and spent entire 2012 campaign with @KnightsBaseball, signed by #RedSox on Tuesday.

December 18, 201213 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 18, 2012 -> 03:55 PM) Jeff Gray is listed as one of the Sox non-roster invitees. Remember when we were all upset and stuff about him getting claimed off waivers by the Mariners?
