MLBpipeline released their best tools winners out of the top 100. Below are the Sox who were mentioned:

 

Best Power: Jimenez (winner)

 

Best Fastball: Kopech (runner-up)

 

Best Slider: Kopech (runner-up)

 

Best Curve: Cease (runner-up)

 

Best Command: Dunning (runner-up)

 

By runner-up, do you mean...finished 2nd? Or just "these are the other guys we considered"? Because if that means 2nd....then f***, that's amazing.

I cannot get over the Sox losing Tatis Jr. in the Shields trade.

I was mad about it when it happened and now it just irks the he11 out of me when I see it come up, like it did at Soxfest.

That will turn out to be the worst trade in White Sox history.

It's tough to beat the Johnny Callison trade to the Phillies in 1959, but the Tatis trade probably will turn out to be Number One in that category.

It doesn't work for every guy of course but I think it is no coincidence that we see more late breakout players and almost all of them have gotten input from sources outside the game.

 

Here is s list of guys of that mold

 

-justin Turner

-daniel Murphy

-josh Donaldson

-chris Taylor

-aaron judge (he recently credited a guy I know from the internet for his success - the the dude is a giant asshole who insults anyone and got banned from about every forum but apparently he worked with judge, kingery and ian happ who all had great years)

 

Sure it is no guarantee that it works, but conventional hitting coaching basically has a play it save and don't ruin the top guys philosophy.

Now that's a guy who Avi needs to talk to or his hitting coach. The guy had 1 career HR before he fixed his swing to get more loft.

Love to see all the love that Hansen is getting. Could see him making the Top 30 when the mid-season rankings come out.

 

I'm happy to see Dane Dunning is starting to get some national recognition as a backend top 100 prospect. I think he absolutely can stick as a starter and develop into a solid #3/4 that eats innings.

Pipeline now has a schedule for when the team top 30s will be out:

 

Team Top 30 Prospects schedule:

Mon., Feb. 19 - AL East

Tue., Feb. 20 - NL East

Wed., Feb. 21 - AL Central

Thu., Feb. 22 - NL Central

Fri., Feb. 23 - AL West

Mon., Feb. 26 - NL West

 

If a team's list is not posted on the dates above, that team will be in our ranking of MLB's Top 10 farm systems, which will come out according to this schedule:

 

Tue., Feb. 27 - Nos. 9 & 10

Wed., Feb. 28 - Nos. 7 & 8

Thu., March 1 - Nos. 4-6

Fri., March 2 - Nos. 1-3

 

I'm going to assume we are going to have to wait until at least March 1st for the White Sox list.

@Buster_ESPN

The Astros’ Forrest Whitley, one of baseball’s best pitching prospects, has been suspended 50 games without pay for a violation of the minor-league drug program.

 

Didn't really know where to put this, so feel free to bump.

 

He's challenging it. I'm going to assume it's for adderall if that is the case.
