ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Wish the people doing our system would wait a month or more. Have to imagine at least 2 of Q, Melky, Robertson, Jennings, Frazier get traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con te Giolito Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Nah they'll get more clicks by revising the list and writing big "BREAKING DOWN THE LATEST HAUL" and "UPDATED SYSTEM RANKS." You think it's coincidence Fangraphs released their Sox system overview like the day before the winter meetings when it was clear at least Sale was going to be moved?

Probably Burdi instead of Basabe. But the bottom half of the top 10 gets pretty interesting so who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 QUOTE (raBBit @ Jan 3, 2017 -> 02:02 PM) Sickels has been sick apparently. He doesn't see players in person and scouts heavily on the basis on stats. Correct. John was a huge name at one time. He had some pretty significant health issues over a period of a year or two, and hasn't seen anyone in person in years. We (FS) have actually helped him out here and there with info for his lists, and if you see his write-ups, they borrow heavily from our profiles and videos.

He has Michael Ynoa at #13 and Dylan Covey at #14 over guys like Jordan Stephens and Alex Call...wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, pretty nuts IMO. I'm a huge fan of both Stephens & Call. Also, no way in hell Michalczewski doesn't make the top 20. His prospect status has definitely soured, but he's still a more interesting prospect than several guys on his list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call, I forgot about Michalczewski. He had a disappointing year, but still young enough with tools to put it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ONE thing that Covey and Ynoa both have is that they are already here. Ynoa was already on the roster, and there is a pretty high chance that Covey breaks camp in the starting rotation. If you weight towards the chance at being a big leaguer, it makes these rankings make some sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
