November 28, 201411 yr Jeff wrote a deep look at the 2013 White Sox MLB draftees' performance in 2014, their first full seasons as pro ballplayers. Take a look and see how they've performed so far.
November 28, 201411 yr Great write up. Out of the our first top 10 picks, I can see 5 making the it to the MLB in Anderson, Danish, Dykstra, Mitchell, and Michaelczewski. My sleepers from this class is Lowry, Fruedenberg, and Wheeler.

If 5 guys from a draft class make the big leagues, you literally have won that year's draft. By a lot.

Oh I know that but when you look at that class and the names that I put out there that I think will make the MLB, I sure can be wrong but would you argue against it? Anderson- I think he can definitely hit at the MLB level. Danish- I think he'll be a 4-5 starter Mitchell- Has great stuff, just needs better control, if he does that, he can be a high leverage reliever. Dykstra- I see him as a Bassitt type. 4-5 guy. May- 4th outfielder Michaelczewski- Improves his contact rate, I think he can definitely be a starting 1B or 3B. He's been young at every level. And sorry, 6 names

It's not out of the imagination. I think Anderson, Danish, and Michalczewski are strong bets to make it to the big leagues. Then you just need 2 of May, Engel, Wheeler, Dykstra, Mitchell, or Lowry to pan out, of which I like May and Wheeler's chances a lot.

He was a pleasant surprise last year. IMO his first full season is very underwhelming in all aspects, I see him as a long shot at this point.
