New 2020 longenhagen sox farm system ranking

Here is the article

https://blogs.fangraphs.com/top-38-prospects-chicago-white-sox/

1. Robert

2. Kopech

3. Vaughn

4. Madrigal

Robert and kopech get 60s, vaughn and madrigal 55s, no other 50+ prospects.  Depth has suffered from graduations and injuries/underperformance but the top4 are as good as any other system still.

That list looks crazy stupid to me.  And after having actually seen Jimmy Lambert pitch I think he is waaaaaaaaaaay too low at 35.  Ahead of him are tons of guys I'd trade straight-up for Lambert were he in another organization.  Yermin at 8 and as a DH?  The only way to justify ranking him so high is if you think he can catch.  But that's not even as bad as Lambert at 35.  Lmabert below the likes of Zach Thompson and Bryce Bush after the year he just had?  Really?  In the write up it says that if Lambert hadn't had TJ he'd be Pilkington level.  Really?  That is a horrible mis-evaluation.  There's a bunch of that in here.  Basabe at 22, and 6 spots below Luis Gonzalez even after the year Gonzalez had?  And how is it that a RP like Heuer can be so valuable such as to rank as high as 9, but James Beard makes this list at all?  There are a shitload of other RPs in this system that should rank above him in that case.

Well if you think Yermin has one of the best bats in the system I think ranking him around Collins is certainly justified.. Let us not forget.... Collins, cannot (will not) catch either.

The sox System after the top 5 is also quite thin and the difference between 6 and 20 is not all that large as they have a decent depth of 40s but not much in the 45-50 range behind the big 4.
