Jordan4life_2007 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Was just going through yesterday's BA chat transcript with Jim Callis. Sorry, but I couldn't resist. Nate (Chicago): Is Brandon Short the best position prospect in the White Sox organization? Jim Callis: It's down to him, Eduardo Escobar and Keenyn Walker. Which should send a message to Jerry Reinsdorf that maybe it's time to start spending money on the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't take the same two or three arguments all day, every day, and decided to do something about it. No one posts any kind of content anymore. Its all about who sucks, who should get fired, and who sucks most. That makes for awful discussion and it shows. It is the reason I barely post in the filibuster anymore.

Yeah, whoever asked if Short was the best position player prospect was ignorant to the system and Callis went for the dramatic answer by not naming the two guys who are clearly the best in the system.

DirtySox Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) 2011 Draft Sleepers Via Sickels: Kevan Smith, C, White Sox: Seventh round pick in 2011 from University of Pittsburgh, annihilated short-season pitching at Bristol (Appy League, .396/.482/.740) and Great Falls (Pioneer League, .318/.417/.523). Drew 28 walks against just 30 strikeouts in 203 at-bats. Power bat and physical strength are well-respected, but he needs more polish with defense, and at age 23 he needs to show this wasn't just a fluke generated against younger competition. http://www.minorleagueball.com/2011/9/13/2...tting-prospects Blair Walters, LHP, White Sox: Drafted in the 11th round from the University of Hawaii. He went 9-0, 4.03 in the Pioneer League with a sharp 72/17 K/BB in 74 innings. He has a low-90s sinker and is tough on lefties, but was mostly a reliever in college and is still polishing his breaking ball and changeup. He could develop into a fourth starter or possibly a LOOGY. http://www.minorleagueball.com/2011/9/16/2...-league-central Edited September 17, 2011 by DirtySox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Addison Reed made the Baseball America minor league all-star team. RP Addison Reed • White Sox Triple-A Charlotte (International) In a move straight out of the Dan Hudson playbook, Reed shot from the third round of the 2010 draft to Chicago in little more than a year, making ever-so-brief pit stops at all four levels of full-season ball this season. Reed's minor league ratios may elicit a double-take—12.8 strikeouts, 1.6 walks, 4.9 hits per nine innings—but he backs them up with mid-90s heat and a power slider. The 22-year-old Reed naturally struck out eight of the first 21 big league batters to face him. http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/minor...11/2612338.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
