Top 10 prospects

Off hand I'd say more Broadway, less Fields, Gio, and Sweeney. I have little faith Sweeney or Fields will be above average starters. Gio is a meh prospect to me. Intriguing because of his stuff and talent, but his stature worries me and inconsistent 06 somewhat confirmed that to me.

Broadway at eight?!?

 

I'd go...

 

1.) Danks (best bet of a safe player, yet potential to be a solid #2-3).

2.) Sweeney (numbers started to back-up the 'scouts' last year)

3.) Gonzalez

4.) Fields (IMO 3-4 are interchangeable, I went with Gio because pitching gets the nod over a future corner OFer)

5.) Broadway

6.) Cunningham

7.) Haeger

8.) Masset

9.) McCollough

10.) Perez

 

Honorable mentions for Boooone, and a couple of the AA pitchers (Harrell, Egbert).

From Jim Callis on Baseball America...

 

Since we originally ran our White Sox Top 10, Chicago has acquired six young pitchers: Gio Gonzalez and Gavin Floyd (in the Freddy Garcia deal with the Phillies); Andy Sisco (for Ross Gload from the Royals); and Danks, Nick Masset and Jacob Rasner in the McCarthy trade. Floyd and Sisco have too many big league innings to qualify as prospects.

 

We inserted Gonzalez as the White Sox' No. 3 prospect in the Handbook, but the McCarthy/Danks deal happened too late to be included. If it had occurred in time, I would have lined up the Chicago Top 10 like this:

 

1. Ryan Sweeney, of

2. Josh Fields, 3b

3. John Danks, lhp

4. Gio Gonzalez, lhp

5. Lance Broadway, rhp

6. Kyle McCulloch, rhp

7. Charlie Haeger, rhp

8. Nick Masset, rhp

9. Aaron Cunningham, of

10. Adam Russell, rhp

He is successful. He'll likely start out the year in BHam's rotation. However, for his development, he needs to keep moving up.

 

He's a guy, who, with VERY low HR totals, should do fairly well in Charlotte and would have a chance to succeed in Chicago.
