WestEddy Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 These days, Triple-A rosters are glorified taxi squads, and the Charlotte Knights will likely have their share of MLB players on the tail end of their careers again in 2025. But a lot of interesting prospects will populate the Knights’ roster as well and it is possible --… — jeff cohen (@TripleAJeff) March 2, 2025 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Mike Shirley! Expand Pallette is relieving right now and it's going to be a shocker if our vertically-challenged RFer makes the team....now with Drury/Gallo, etc. Not sure what they do with Narvaez...maybe he's the MLB back-up, if he's up for it. Gray isn't much of an outfielder, he's used to playing all three infield positions...but why not? None of the outfielders are legit prospects...not even Veras. Not sure what the point of continuing to start Eder is...might push up Carela if he's not in AAA, just to see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of right now, Benintendi's shooting for OD, but if he misses, it's Colas or Fletcher. I don't think Gallo makes the team. Narvaez is just a body. Multiple games being played every day with multiple sets of 9 position players. Gray is infield depth with a little jack. There's really 8 guys who will be jockeying for starts at AAA. Some of those guys should move to the pen if they can't pull it together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted Tuesday at 02:41 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 02:41 PM (edited) Chaise Meidroth is the second baseman for Baseball America's Not Top 100 MLB All-Prospect Team. Quote Second Base Chase Meidroth, White Sox In Triple-A last year, Meidroth walked 105 times and struck out only 71 times, powering him to an amazing .437 OBP. He’s a superlative contact hitter, paired with extreme patience, which makes me really believe in the on-base skills. While his top-end power isn’t exciting, his excellent swing decisions helped him post an average exit velocity close to the major league average. The metrics and performance all point to a batter who could post a triple slash line around .280/.360/.360 which would be right around league-average. Most projection systems have Meidroth projected to be an above-average hitter as a rookie. The Bat X is the most pessimistic, but still has him with a 96 wRC+ that is near MLB average. ZiPS projects him as a roughly 2.5 wins above baseline player over the next three seasons. RoboScout has Meidroth as the No. 35 prospect for fantasy baseball, which is very close to ZiPS’ ranking of No. 38. While the jury is still out if his extreme patience can translate to the majors, I think his combination of zone contact and chase contact gives him a very high floor. There’s an argument to be made that Meidroth should be a fringe Top 100 prospect given his high floor and defensive utility. While he may not start the season as the leadoff hitter for the White Sox, he’s the ideal archetype for the position: an on-base machine with a patient approach that lets the other batters get a read on the starting pitcher. There isn’t much to be excited for in 2025 if you’re a White Sox fan, but you can be moderately excited for Meidroth’s MLB future.

caulfield12 Posted yesterday at 06:29 AM Share Posted yesterday at 06:29 AM "But the bulk of the Sox position player prospect depth is arranged up the middle, so the Sox have a version of this choice at pretty much every level. Last year's second round pick Caleb Bonemer is expected to play the bulk of shortstop over Javier Mogollón at Low-A Kannapolis, who was shifting over to second on the backfields. Jeral Pérez, from last July's Erick Fedde trade, will mostly play short at High-A Winston-Salem and be partnered up the middle with fifth round pick and contact maven Sam Antonacci taking most of the reps at second. An impressive spring with several cameos in big league games earned slick-fielding William Bergolla, the return from the Tanner Banks trade, a promotion to Double-A Birmingham. Bergolla played mostly second base in the Phillies organization and mostly shortstop after the trade, and will have to mix in at both next to former first-round pick Jacob Gonzalez."
