July 28, 201510 yr Today, MLB.com updated their Top 30 Prospect Lists. Here is the White Sox: http://m.mlb.com/prospects/2015?list=cws In their top 100 list they listed: Tim Anderson (45), Carson Fulmer (50), and Frankie Montas (63)
July 28, 201510 yr These lists always throw some surprises in there, but this one is fairly close to the upcoming FutureSox list. However, Robinson Leyer? Wow, that's a totally out there pick.
July 28, 201510 yr Not a bad list, but I think Coats should flip with Jake Peter, I think he's earned a higher ranking even though he's not a flashy prospect. Kind of like Saldino, in that he's progressed through the system based more on baseball skill than tools.
July 28, 201510 yr Love the new list, Anderson, Fulmer, and Montas are a great trio of top 100 prospects, best our system has been in ages, very deep
July 29, 201510 yr Author I love Jordan Guerrero. Really underrated prospect that's getting some love.

Wow, that's a totally out there pick. Agree. I think he's an interesting relief arm, but not a T30 guy to me at all. At least not yet. Also... Jace Fry still on the list? Down for second TJ? Ridiculous.
July 29, 201510 yr QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 10:38 AM) If EJ still qualified as a prospect where would he fall in the top 100? I don't think he'd make it given his "incredibly down year" and "still unexplained velocity issues".
July 29, 201510 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 10:22 AM) I don't think he'd make it given his "incredibly down year" and "still unexplained velocity issues". I absolutely think he would be on the list. He was a top 100 guy prior to last year (Ranked #63) and yes he had a rough issue, but his velocity is back and he has been absolutely dominant this year. 1 earned run over his last 45 innings while showing very good stuff again (and command). If he was eligible he would most certainly be a top 100 guy.
July 29, 201510 yr QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jul 29, 2015 -> 09:38 AM) If EJ still qualified as a prospect where would he fall in the top 100? That is also a good point for the state of our farm system. We have Erik Johnson and Adrien Nieto who both would be rated guys in our system, who aren't in the majors, but don't have eligibility.

He has not exactly had a banner year for the Barons.

July 29, 201510 yr Nieto would be in the White Sox top 100. Keep him around for a couple of more years...see how he does. Disappointing this year, at least offensively. 3 prospects in the top 65 is pretty strong improvement. And that doesn't include the 2 ML ready Johnsons. Keep on building.

Actually, Micah is still eligible. But didn't make the T100.
