Hamilton probably not top 10 IMO as a definite reliever and I'd probably still have Spencer Adams at 3 but you probably have the right names.

4. Adams

5. Burdi

6. Curbelo

7. Michalczewski

8. Danish

9. Engel

10. Coats

 

Just outside the Top 10: May, Hawkins, Adolfo, Fisher, Guerrero

I'm keeping Adams ahead of Hansen until he proves it. I'd probably keep Adolfo/Hawkins ahead of Coats. After what Trayce did, keeping out hope for Hawkins.

For me Adams has legit #2 potential, Hansen under the Sox has legit ace potential.

 

I just can't argue with Coats' production vs. Hawkins lack thereof and Adolfo's glass body.

[ChiSoxFanMike]

This list looks pretty solid right now, even after Anderson was removed.

Hansen has a much higher ceiling for sure, but he has a lot of work to do to get there. Mechanical adjustments aren't always easy. For now I would say that I would stay with Adams ahead of Hansen, just because he it putting up numbers and at a higher level. But Hansen could easily fly to #1 on the list if his mechanics get fixed, and because of it his numbers rebound.

[BaseballNick]

1) Collins - C

2) Fulmer - RHP

3) Adams - RHP

4) Burdi - RHP

5) Hansen - RHP

6) Guerrero - LHP

7) Michalczewski - 3B

8) Adolfo - OF

9) Call - OF

10) Curbelo - INF

 

I have Collins and Fulmer interchangeable at the top. I wasn't too high on the system prior to the draft so I have a lot of new faces on my list. I'd put Hawkins, Engel, Fisher, Danish and Zangari just outside of the top ten.

Agree, but after drafts a lot of these guys benefit from us seeing all their highlights but none of their warts. Whereas the rest of the top ten we are worried about their warts and stop seeing their highlights.

Very true. Though Hansen already publicly has some significant warts after this season.

I think this is exactly how mine will look.

Think that one is spot on, Previously would've had Trey in front of Engel, but Engel is starting to look more and more like a real player.

[bmags]

Try has so consistently had "that's decent for his age" numbers and never outright failed that I'm hoping he breaks out in AAA out of the birmingham stadium. I think leaving him in birmingham for another year would be best, though. His slash is fine except for 32% k rate. Sox should press him to get that down to 20% or less before moving him up.

10. MIcker Adolfo OF

This is basically my list but with Delmonico over Adolfo. That could change over the course of the season, but Adolfo doesn't deserve a top 10 spot right now IMO. I think May, Peter, Sevela, & Cruz could all make a case for those last two spots as well depending how their second halves go.

Just outside the Top 10: May, Hawkins, Adolfo, Fisher, Guerrero

 

Best list I've seen on here. I'd take Coats out though, but damn solid Q.

[caulfield12]

Wouldn't have Curbelo quite so high until he's at least proven something in SS ball.

 

What is the argument for dropping May so far? A lot of preseason lists had him 4th-6th, right?

 

Jordan Stephens and Delmonico would be getting some strong consideration for the last two spots.

Stephens is the guy I forgot. He could definitely crack the top 10 by the end of the year.

So even though Burdi was drafted as a relief pitcher, most people still have him top 5? I figured relief would slide him down.

[NorthSideSox72]

FYI, the FS Top 30 for Midseason will come out in a month or so. The process has just begun on that, amongst the writers.

Check out the type of contracts closers are getting and the type of haul it takes to acquire them in trades. Burdi is also very close to the majors and has an outside shot at starting. He isn't your average relief prospect.
