royoung Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Adam Eaton and Erik Johnson. Abreu will struggle in the first half of the season but finish strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 More seriously, I think Viciedo is going to look a lot better this year. My minor league guy to break out is still Chris Beck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottyDo Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 QUOTE (southside hitman @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 01:38 PM) http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/keith-law/post?id=1809 Three White Sox in the top 20 impact prospects for 2014. Which three? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royoung Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 11:41 AM) Which three? 4. Erik Johnson, RHP | Chicago White Sox Maybe more a workhorse than a future ace, Johnson has made a ton of progress since the White Sox drafted him two years ago out of Cal, and he has a couple of potential out pitches in his arsenal, along with the build for 200-plus innings a year. He could easily be Chicago's third-most valuable starting pitcher in 2014. 10. Matt Davidson, 3B | Chicago White Sox Davidson has some competition for the regular third-base job, both in March or if he should scuffle in April/May, but he's the best option on their 40-man roster and a good bet to hit .250/.330/.425 or so if he gets regular playing time, with average or just below-average defense. 13. Marcus Semien, IF | Chicago White Sox Semien could play any of three spots for Chicago -- short, second, or third -- or he could just play a lot of each of them as a true "super-utility" player, getting 400-450 at bats while spelling all three starters. Second baseman Gordon Beckham hasn't sniffed a .330 OBP or a .400 SLG since his rookie year, and he's a fringe defender at best. Semien could end up taking over that job by midseason and forcing a trade or non-tender of Beckham before 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoundingThird Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 12:41 PM) Which three? Actually it was 4. He said he would have listed Abreu 2 behind Tanaka, but excluded them for their age. The other 3 were Johnson, Semien, and Davidson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Dayan Viciedo for me. The kid is only going to be 25 and still has tons of potential. This year he breaks out. My breakout minor league player this year is going to be Trayce Thompson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Recent Sox seasons have clued me in: we may not have a breakout player Breakout players are not something we're owed, even though that's naturally the fan mindset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 It's not a very good sign when most of your roster can be candidates for "breakout season". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harfman77 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Feb 11, 2014 -> 01:02 PM) It's not a very good sign when most of your roster can be candidates for "breakout season". Its more of an indictment of last season than anything when outside of Sale and Q, everyone on the roster can be considered a candidate.

He's also only going to be 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
