Oppor (5th round) makes a BA list of 10 standout pitching debuts:

Quote

Christian Oppor, LHP, White Sox
Age: 18
Highest Level: Rookie

He made just one start and pitched 7.2 innings in the Arizona Complex League, but he looked sharp and posted a 1.17 ERA with nine strikeouts to two walks, and showed solid-average control of a 90-94 mph fastball that was a solid bat-misser as well. 

Oppor also showed solid feel to land a slower, mid-70s breaking ball that has solid spin and depth, and looks like a pitch that could become an above-average offering with more power down the line. 

He has a lean, 6-foot-2, 175-pound frame that should be able to add plenty of mass in the future, and his easy, deliberate operation looks like one that should be able to deliver strikes at a solid rate. Oppor also has thrown a low-80s changeup, but the pitch needs more consistency and feel. On a list of maxed out, older college players, Oppor is a fun projection lefthander with youth on his side to dream on.

And Javier Mogollon ($75000 IFA) makes a list of underrated lower level hitters:

Quote

Javier Mogollon, 2B/SS, White Sox

The White Sox signed the 17-year old shortstop from Venezuela on account of his short, balanced righty hitting stroke and plus running ability. The White Sox played Mogollon at second base more frequently than shortstop because of his below-average arm. His bat, however, plays plenty at the keystone. He produced double-digit home runs and steals to post the highest RoboCast score among all DSL prospects. Mogollon pairs plus contact rates and the seventh-highest barrel rate among 17-year-olds in the DSL with at least 100 plate appearances. He has a knack for optimizing his hard contact to the pull side at launch angles where they’ll do the most damage. He led all 17-year-olds in the DSL in homers (10) and posted a 98th percentile OPS among all DSL hitters.

Cornering the market on older, minor league OFs.

Mark Payton (31) is back: https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/11/white-sox-mark-payton-agree-to-minor-league-contract.html

Wynton Bernard (33): https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2023/11/white-sox-sign-wynton-bernard-to-minor-league-deal.html

A whopping 52 major league games between the two.
