February 9, 201511 yr BP's Top 101 list is out, just two White Sox: Anderson at 39, Rodon at 41. Probably the list I agree with least at this point.
February 9, 201511 yr That list is beyond awful. Having Bryant at 5 is criminal. Anderson above Rodon is just not true. And Bundy and Syndgaard above Urias is terrible. That list is poorly thought of.
February 9, 201511 yr It's the highest I've seen Anderson and definitely the lowest I've seen Rodon. "Chi Chi" Gonzalez and Albert Almora ahead of Rodon? Nope
February 9, 201511 yr BP has been way too high on Cubs players it seems, and this list illustrates that. Almora in front of Rodon is crazy.
February 9, 201511 yr Did the writers even include 2014 statistics in their evaluations? Why should Almora even be in the Top 100 at this point?
February 9, 201511 yr Weird rankings. Here is a list of pitchers who are listed BETTER than Rodon by BP, but listed worst than Rodon's #12 ranking by Keith Law.... Andrew Heaney (#37 by BP, #58 by Law) Mark Appel (#35 by BP, #44 by Law) Daniel Norris (#34 by BP, #18 by Law) Steven Matz (#33 by BP, UNRANKED by Law) AJ Cole (#30 by BP, #98 by Law) Chi Chi Gonzalez (#29 by BP, #86 by Law) Kohl Stewart (#28 by BP, #53 by Law) Jameson Taillon (#26 by BP, #36 by Law) Aaron Sanchez (#25 by BP, #51 by Law) Braden Shipley (#22 by BP, #19 by Law) Tyler Glasnow (#21 by BP, #13 by Law) Hunter Harvey (#20 by BP, #16 by Law) Robert Stephenson (#16 by BP, #49 by Law) Alex Meyer (#14 by BP, #30 by Law) Jonathan Gray (#13 by BP, #22 by Law) Archie Bradley (#11 by BP, #21 by Law) Noah Syndergaard (#9 by BP, #17 by Law) Dylan Bundy (#8 by BP, #26 by Law) Steven Matz and AJ Cole stand out here the most.

February 9, 201511 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 9, 2015 -> 11:22 AM) BP is the hipster list for prospect lovers. Having Almora over Rodon is just laughable. If the Sox and Cubs were talking a Rodon-Almora swap who do you think would be the aggressor? No, freakin', doubt. I won't even get started about why this nonsense is what it is.

The four in front of him play premium positions (and play them well). Bryant may be a LF and he strikes out a lot so might have trouble hitting for average. Again, Urias is 10th and hasn't pitched above A+. I wouldn't get too worked up about the difference between players ranked 8th, 9th and 10th.

I saw in one of the comments that they said they really valued up the middle players.
