September 2, 201510 yr Author Question for all of the prospect experts here... If Erik Johnson were still up for rookie status, where would he rate in the White Sox system rankings?

September 2, 201510 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 08:05 PM) What would his 2014 numbers look like in this hypothetical? If we pretended 2014 never happened, he'd be #2 for me behind Anderson and barely in front of Fulmer
September 2, 201510 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 04:11 PM) 2014 included. Top 10 but not top 5.
September 2, 201510 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 03:14 PM) Top 10 but not top 5. I'd agree with that, though around 5 is possible.
September 2, 201510 yr QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 2, 2015 -> 01:39 PM) I'd agree with that, though around 5 is possible. if I am ignoring everything and using FutureSox top 5 as my listing, I am absolutely ranking him ahead of Micah and Spencer Adams and consider ranking him ahead of Montas, primarily because I think Johnson has shown enough in 2015 (and in previous seasons) that probably of being an effective starter is higher vs. Montas who has the bulk of his upside in the pen. So I would say EJ (considering 2014) would be potentially 3rd, absolutely 4th.
September 2, 201510 yr By the way, if I ignored 2014, he would be my #1 prospect. His minor league track record would be superior and he has the stuff to back it up (as the only year he didn't show the stuff was last year).
