Chisoxfn Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 2006 FutureSox Top 25: 15-6 By FutureSox.com The White Sox traded numerous top 25 prospects over the off-season. This puts added pressure on the recent Sox draft and you'll see many of the 05 draft included in the 06 list. With the strenght of the organization at the lower levels, the keys to the Sox minor league system will be in terms of developing the guys in A Ball and getting them up to Bham as soon as possible because the team is very thin on prospects that could help the major league club in the near future. Today, we will release 15-6 and Monday 5-1. Following the full release we would like to hear your thoughts and answer your questions, so please send those to us at [email protected]. We will than answer the readers questions in an interactive podcast. MORE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 wow Tracey is way overated....him and Rogowski both overated on that list. Id put Lumsden, Hernandez, and possibly Getz ahead of them.... a case can be made for a couple others too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll talk about this on the podcast, but just keep in mind we take a variety of things into account, including chances to getting to the majors, total potential and prior performance. Lumsden was injured, Hernandez fizzled last year, and this is just Getz' first full year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id put Lumsden, Hernandez, and possibly Getz ahead of them.... a case can be made for a couple others too. When Tracey is pitching out of our pen a year from now I don't think people will be saying that. He has very good stuff for a righty. People may have thought I was crazy when I kept touting a guy like Majewski, but that turned out to be a pretty wise move. In terms of Lumsden, I think he's about as talented as a pitcher we have in our system, but no way are we about to throw him incredibly high based on him sitting out an entire season and having about 40 career minor league innings. There is no way to see how he will react from injury and I thought we may have had him higher than some would have expected. Rogo is a good first base prospect. He may not fit with this club, but he could be a quality big leaguer somewhere. Actually if anyone was under-rated it would have been Brandon Allen and Vernon (Chris) Carter. Those two are major candidates to jump all the way into a top 6 or 7 in a years time. Getz will never be a top propsect, but could turn into a solid 2nd baseman. Basically put Getz may very well be the middle infield equivalent of Casey Rogowski without long term numbers to back him up. Getz plays a more important position and is damn good defensively. He also has good speed and a good eye but I don't know how he'll project in the majors as a hitter. I think worse case he'll be a utility man though. He does too many things solidly (to go along with very good defense) to be anything less than that. However I think Rogo would be getting quite a few ab's at the major league level if he were in another system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 01:14 PM) podcast? Ya, if you have any questions for how or why we have someone where we are or if you think we really screwed the pooch and left someone off our list, ask us and we'll respond in a podcast show we will be doing focusing on our top 25 (just for some more commentary talking about how we came up with the list and who barely made the list). Hell there are times where we get in debates about who should be where and eventually someone gets slotted where maybe 2 or 3 think he should be, but 1 doesn't or vice versa. We also have some guys that we thought were close to making the list (guys like Gomes) but decided its best to hold off because they have yet to prove anything. Also I want to note too many people look at A level guys and give them these high ceilings and call them better than AA or AAA guys just because those AA and AAA guys have probably found there ceiling (which could just be a potential avg major leaguer) but those minor league guys get highly touted when in all reality there ceilnig probably won't be higher, if not lower than those AA or AAA guys.

The depleted farm system is a big reason we have such a good major league team. No need to worry. The system will be replenished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
