Chisoxfn Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 We are having a hell of a time right now. We've came to the conclusion that are system is absolutely HORRID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Yeah, and after a rather easy decision we cut the list to 20 for the sake of laziness (not having to write 5 more) and those guys suck anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Just use Brandon McCarthy and Brian Anderson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 11:51 PM) Just use Brandon McCarthy and Brian Anderson. Can we use Jenks too and Lumsden and Cortes and hell just pick Garza and Carillo since we could have had those guys (not saying we should have took them, just saying it would be nice to have some good names on the list). After about 3 our list is toast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 01:51 AM) After about 3 our list is toast. Fields, Broadway, Sweeney in that order I assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchetman Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 here's my top ten. fields is about the only guy who i'd call a "top" prospect, and he's no sure thing. fields sweeney mcculloch broadway whisler haeger malone (prolly a 6 year FA though) getz lucy nanita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like him as much as the next but he is a near non-prospect now. Also Broadway is ahead of Mccculloch or whatevr no doubt. Based on talent alone im guessing Anderson Gomes is on the top 10 too. Also despite struggling in AA Harrel prob on there and maybe even Valido. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetman Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 well obviously i can't know as much as you do. malone could have a decent career as a lefty reliever. like a buddy groom type if you know who that is. he's 25 and missed a couple of years to surgery. i can guarantee he won't be on the "official" future sox list b/c if he makes the majors it probably won't be with the sox. broadway could be a bottom of the rotation guy. gives up a ton of hits and doesn't strike too many out. limits the walks and homers. picked mcculloch ahead of him b/c i'm hoping he's got a little stronger arm. i'm trying to be optimistic.

whitesoxfan101 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Heath Phillips will save us all, YEAH!!! *hides* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 From the obvious three of Fields, Broadway and Sweeney, there's: Logan Tracey Phillips Haeger Nanita Liotta Whisler Gomes Valido Egbert Harrel Perez Russel Cunningham Richard Chirino That's 19. For the other one just take a guy from the DSL or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 I'll give you guys a clue. I don't think Jason wanted Boone Logan on the list at all, but he made it. Cerb you forgot Rogo on the premise that our system is REALLY bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 From the looks of it, our list is going to surprise a few. Basically, it doesn't matter after the top 3. Most of the guys from 11-30 are pretty interchangable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, it doesn't matter after the top 3. Most of the guys from 11-30 are pretty interchangable. Ya, some former pretty highly rated prospects will not be getting much love. Were pretty much sick of certain guys getting love even though they can't produce for crap. At the same time, I hate giving guys that produce but lack the abilities to be very good major leaguers. Either way...our system has to be one of the worse in all of baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he is 25 and still in AA and he isnt really even dominating it....Also according to some he doesnt have the same type of stuff since coming back either. He might make the majors but I wouldnt count on him sticking at all. Broadway has dominated in AA and no he doesnt have ace stuff but id say his ceiling is better than a bottom of the rotation guy... not an ace but u discredit him 2 much.

Broadway hasn't come anywhere close to dominating AA. He's giving up more hits than IP (143/136) and his K/9 rate is nothing to write home about (around 6 or so...). Couple that with a max 90 MPH fastball and it's hard to see him as more than a fifth starter in the bigs at best. I will admit, I haven't seen him pitch and perhaps he's more impressive in person than on paper. I hope I'm wrong and he has a great career, but the numbers don't look great. As for Malone, age is less important for pitching prospects than hitters. I don't what Malone's stuff is like now, and his control isn't great. But he's a LHP and will probably be a good FA pickup for someone. I think he could spend a few seasons in the bigs in someone's pen. Whomever said that the Sox system is one of the worst, I have to agree. St. Louis is usually regarded as a pretty poor system, but the have Rasmus and Reyes. The Sox have no prospects even close to those two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 Broadway's done well, though. Also, although the Met is a pitcher's heaven, Lance has better BAA numbers and the like on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not neccesarily and Im not discrediting if he is a good prospect or not just the statement that he is so much better than anything in our system. I guess we'll know in 3 years or so. Obviously I could be wrong, I'm sure there are people know a lot more about baseball than I do that think I'm wrong -- you may be one of them. I'll even own up to being a typical internet fan (I haven't seen a minor league game in almost 4 years). I just wish each of the Sox top 3 prospects didn't have a huge question mark on them: Fields: Ks too much Sweeney: Singles too much Broadway: Gets hit too much, too few MPH Maybe the Yankees system is a better comp, they have Duncan, Tabata, and Hughes which are similar position-wise to the Sox top 3 and a relatively thin system outside of that.

Tell me when Reyes can actually stay healthy for an extended period of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
