Sox list:

 

Chicago White Sox

RHP: Shane Lindsay (AAA), Henry Mabee (AA), Matt Zaleski (AAA)

C: Damaso Espino (AAA)

SS: Tommy Manzella (AAA), Ray Olmedo (AAA), Greg Paiml (AA)

OF: Greg Golson (AAA), Cyle Hankerd (HiA), Conor Jackson (AAA), Jose Martinez (AA)

 

A couple names there are interesting. Conor Jackson and Jose Martinez. Jackson was filler, but did pretty well, might be a guy they want to keep around for future callup in an injury situation. Jose Martinez was highly touted at one time, but just hasn't put it together with the bat, and the Sox do have some talented OF's that they don't need to protect. Should be interesting to see if the Sox sign either one.

 

The rest are pretty uninteresting.

Jose Martinez was dubbed Juan Gonzalez-like by Phil Rogers.

On that list of names I recognize that seem like they could find "it":

 

 

Adrian Cardenas, 2B - Former high draft pick, good eye at the plate and as I recall was a solid defender. Could light some fire under Beckham in addition to Sanchez.

 

Brian Bogusevic, OF - Local guy, high-draft pick and had some decent ML moments

 

Fabio Castro, LHP - Former Sox guy, thought he was gonna be something, maybe he can re-invent himself as a LOOGY

Let's see if Hahn scoops up the big 6'10 Andrew Brackman from the Reds. Former 1st RDer hasn't seen success since 2010, but if Coop can hone his control issues, he should be worth a look. Do a Phil Humber number on him.

 

It's going to take more than fixing the control. He couldn't get guys out in A ball last year.

Sounds a lot like a guy we had in the system until last year, Garrett Johnson.

Another interesting name...Josh Bell...He's done nothing in the majors when he's been called up over the past few years but put up his best numbers in AAA last year .311/.372/.881. He's still only 26 and could still have some major league potential.

 

I'm not calling for him to be the guy starting at 3B but it'd be nice to have him in AAA if he can soon translate his MiLB numbers to the bigs.

 

And he's a local kid so maybe some home cooking will help him out.

Yep, unfulfilled promises big time for this guy, but he's not too far gone that somebody might not catch lightning in a bottle given the right coach and the right situation.

Brandon Wood = Dallas McPherson.

 

Big numbers inflated by the Pacific Coast League.

As a 20 y/o Wood hit 43 HRs (and 101 XBHs!!) in A+ ball. The Cal league is a big-time hitters league, though that was an impressive season by any standards. He and McPherson were both big disappointments.
