Top White Sox Prospects by Position: First Basemen

As the week closes, we finish off the infield in this series. Here are the Top 5 First Basemen in the system.

The caveat with this group - which is probably the thinnest in the org - is that there are players at other positions who could or will move to 1B later. Collins, Burger, maybe others could all end up that way.

Hey Matt, no link is posted.

A pretty brutal group without Collins/Burger.  2019 will be interesting for this group.  If no one progressing, it opens C/B moving just on need.  Also, one of the easiest and cheapest positions to fill via free agency lately on a short term basis.

FWIW, I can't imagine many players at all are fully drafted and developed as 1B, so it being seemingly thin isn't the worst thing.  Thinking back, Jose Abreu was a 3B in Cuba and Paul Konerko was a catcher going up and played a lot of 3B in the minors.  There is a really good chance our future 1B isn't currently a 1B.

I’m of the opinion that the Sox should move Collins off of C and move him to 1B to get the bat in the ML lineup as soon as possible. I also believe that with that move, his bat will get better. 

Maybe have him as the backup catcher, so he can work on his craft at ML level.
