Chicago White Sox Posted 10 hours ago Author Share Posted 10 hours ago The Top 10 is pitching heavy as expected, with numerous guys in the majors or very close to being ready. I think it’s paramount that we avoid adding a mid tier veteran SP this offseason so we don’t end up blocking these kids. It’s possible or even likely five of these kids make starts for the Sox this year and that’s in addition to Cannon, Martin, Burke and possibly Nastrini or Eder. Ramos & Wolkow are fairly noticeable omissions from the list. I think that speaks volume to the jumps Bush & Adams made last year and the high floor they offer. Anyways, Ramos was a fringe Top 100 guy heading into last season, but his stock certainly took a hit due to his slow start to the year. Not totally surprising to him fall out of the Top 10. I am a little surprised that Wolkow didn’t make the cut though. I get he’s about as the highest variance prospect as they come, but the ceiling is absolutely massive if he reaches it. I bet he cracks the Top 10 at other publications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almagest Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Top 5 are top 100 prospects, no? Unless Thorpe fell off the list due to his injury and performance in the majors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago This has to be a big year for hitting in the minors. The excuses from the past are worth less and less with every successive day that goes by. If this rebuild has a chance in the middle term future (3-5 years) we need a recovery from guys like Ramos and Montgomery, and some breakout seasons from the guys with some potential.

Unless Thorpe fell off the list due to his injury and performance in the majors. I’d assume so yes. The top three are top 50 prospects and Quero is definitely a top 100. Thorpe was high enough pre injury to probably still be in there, but I guess it’s technically possible all the draft pick additions push him just out.

Lyle Moooton Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Adisyn coffee has a better changeup than Thorpe? I find that hard to believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like Thorpe wasn’t factored into the Best Tools list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
