NorthSideSox72 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 People look at the starting pitching and outfield prospect depth in the White Sox system as the key strengths on the farm, and with good reason. But one area where there seems to also be quite a lot of talent is in relief arms - and it's a strength not often discussed. Given the current trends in game management, it seems an important area to look at. James looks here at eight of the best of those arms in depth. There will be a Part 2 covering another grouping, probably next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Yeah this is a strong group of arms. Would be really interesting if it panned out as they expect. You can see with some of the emerging teams like the cubs, they had to pay out a ton to build a bullpen. Either we have a lot of great depth and build a great bullpen or can swap them for needed pieces. We'll see if this becomes a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaDoc Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Really nice job. Will be useful to put some background when scanning numbers this year or hopefully some periodic update pieces! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I will have to downgrade this article for not containing any Hamilton/Burr references with their profiles right next to each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought something had happened between these two that I didn't know of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominikk85 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) Also likely a couple of the starting prospects might end up in the pen if they dont quite develope the command to start. Many great relievers have been pretty good SP prospects. Obviously we hope kopech can start but if his command doesn't come around (I.e. Bb/9 Is 4+) then he could be the next Chapman or Miller. Not ideal outcome but not a bad fall back plan either. Edited February 27, 2018 by GermanSock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
