I hear mixed reviews. Some say Anderson is legit SS, other say lacks hands/reliability & will be CF @WhiteSox #Top30

We didn't rank systems beyond Top 10 at @MLBPipeline, my sense is @WhiteSox would fit around 20 or so. #Top30

TBA. If AFL for real, Engel = everyday guy. If not, 4th OF who doesn't get most out of nice tools. @WhiteSox #Top30

I'm all in on Fulmer. SP, consistent + stuff & competes, believe in that > worry about size & deliv @WhiteSox #Top30

Don't think we'll see Fulmer this year as big lg starter. Think it can happen in 2017, though. @WhiteSox #Top30

We'll see. Like the raw power, wonder if Zangari makes consistent contact against better pitching. @WhiteSox #Top30

[Johan] Cruz could be if last year's offensive surge is for real. Already has defensive chops. @WhiteSox #Top30

Interesting project. Hickman has power arm, looked like maybe 1st-rder before down spring & then TJ @WhiteSox #Top30

 

Adam Sager @AdamGSager

@jimcallisMLB Do you see Trey Michalczewski taking over for Frazier at 3B in 2018?

 

Jim Callis added

That's the path Michalczewski is on. Always liked him back to HS, can be solid all-around at 3B. @WhiteSox #Top30

Realistic slash line for Anderson = .285/.330/.435, ceiling of course is higher than that. @WhiteSox #Top30

 

If Anderson provides that offensively and average to above average defense, that is a 3-5 WAR player.

Alex Cole @Alex_Cole_4

@jimcallisMLB a lot more young talent from the international market than we've seen in the past.

 

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 7m7 minutes ago

Yes. Marco Paddy has rebuilt @WhiteSox' international program after bonus-skimming debacle. #Top30

 

John Bjerkness @johnbj14

@jimcallisMLB When do you think Tyler Danish is ready to make impact in the bigs/what to reasonably expect from him?

 

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 7m7 minutes ago

Love Danish's heart but rough year in Double-A & might be RP. Mid-2017 ETA. @WhiteSox #Top30

 

Adam Sager @AdamGSager

@jimcallisMLB Favorite #WhiteSox prospect outside of top 10? Pitcher and position player.

 

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 7m7 minutes ago

Always like this type of question. RHP Jordan Stephens & C Jhoandro Alfaro. @WhiteSox #Top30

 

Allan Dudek @Exposfan1998

@jimcallisMLB @whitesox Does Keon Barnum power ever get him to MLB?

 

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 7m7 minutes ago

Another extreme longshot. @WhiteSox #Top30

 

Andy Van Psych @cronebender

@jimcallisMLB @whitesox @MLBPipeline Any chance for Cleluis Rondon to have a bat even worthy of MLB utility role?

 

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 7m7 minutes ago

Extreme longshot, though Rondon is a gifted defender at SS. @WhiteSox #Top30

 

Luc McDowell @lucmcd17

@jimcallisMLB @whitesox @MLBPipeline Besides Fulmer and Anderson, whose next closest to MLB ready?

 

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 6m6 minutes ago

Not a lot of candidates ... Chris Beck, if healthy, I guess. @WhiteSox #Top30

Lil Sean from 79th @thatdudesk

@jimcallisMLB what is Spencer Adams upside?

 

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 5m5 minutes ago

Huge upside. Adams could have plus stuff, very athletic, advanced command, love him as prospect @WhiteSox #Top30

 

Matt Manzella @MatManz

@jimcallisMLB @whitesox @MLBPipeline Is there anything at catcher that excites you?

 

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 8m8 minutes ago

I do like Alfaro's upside. Zavala had interesting debut, need to see more. Both far away from bigs. @WhiteSox #Top10

Since no one has mentioned it yet, this was the most interesting thing said in the chat. Obviously he is coming off of Tommy John and is only close to starting to throw again. But if Hickman really does turn out to be first round pick quality, he would instantly give us another big time prospect for the 2018 to 2019 range. It would be a huge boost to the system for a guy that hasn't generated a lot of conversation as of yet.

If he could bounce back, then that's just another plus for the system.

 

That slash line for Anderson has me all sorts of giddy. That's all star caliber numbers from the SS position.

Well, right now, there's arguably two guys in Stephens and Hickman that a lot of scouts are very high on. Of course, the same types of things were said about Beck when he was drafted, that he was once viewed as fairly high first round draft pick.

 

At any rate, with Danish/Guerrero and then Stephens and eventually Hickman pushing up...that helps to rebalance the system pretty quick if any of those four guys along with Adams can make it.

Beck has also pitched at the major league level. That is a drafting success.
