Chicago WhiteSox Top 20 Prospects for 2010
by John Sickels on Dec 9, 2009
All grades are EXTREMELY PRELIMINARY and subject to change. Don't get too
worried about exact rankings at this point, especially once you get beyond
the Top 10. Grade C+/C guys are pretty interchangeable depending on what you
want to emphasize. Complete reports on these and over 1,000 other players
will be in the2010 Baseball Prospect Book, now available for pre-order,
shipping on February 2nd!
Star-divide
1) Dan Hudson, RHP, Grade B: A personal favorite, since I rated him as a big
sleeper pre-season and he really broke through.
2) Jared Mitchell, OF, Grade B: Grade A tools, refinement is a Grade C/C+
right now.
3) Tyler Flowers, C, Grade B: Power and patience are plusses, defense has
improved a great deal according to all reports.
4) Brent Morel, 3B, Grade B-: I think he's underrated. Only questions about
power at higher levels keep him from a Grade B. Now blocked behind Mark
Teahen, a long-term signing I don't understand.
5) Jordan Danks, OF, Grade C+: Borderline Grade B-, as I like the tools and
think the bat may still come around.
6) Dayan Viciedo, 3B, Grade C+: Cutting him some slack since he was young for
Double-A and was pushed fast, but this is a good example of why we need
performance data rather than just hype and team propaganda/scouting reports
when evaluating players.
7) David Holmberg, LHP, Grade C+: Will the fastball get faster? If it does
his stock could go up quickly.
8) C.J. Retherford, 2B, Grade C+: He can hit despite unimpressive tools. Not
sure how he fits into long-term plans.
9) Christian Marrero, 1B-OF, Grade C+: Looks underrated to me. Could be a
good platoon player.
10) Santos Rodriguez, LHP, Grade C+: Gotta love the strikeouts, but a long
way from being ready to help. High ceiling though.
11) Miguel Gonzalez, C, Grade C+: Interesting catcher with good hitting in
the Appy League and good glove rep, could rise quickly up the list in '10.
12) Jhonny Nunez, RHP, Grade C+: Power relief arm could help sometime soon.
13) Josh Phegley, C, Grade C+: Borderline Grade C; defensive questions still
present and he had trouble transitioning from metal to wood, but can't ignore
Indiana numbers completely yet.
14) John Ely, RHP, Grade C: I know scouts hate him but he just keeps getting
people out. Passed Double-A Finesse Pitcher Test with flying colors.
15) John Shelby, OF, Grade C: Good speed, good glove, some power, on-base
skills still sketchy despite increase in walk rate.
16) Tracye Thompson, OF, Grade C: Great tools, horrible hitting skills at
this point. High risk of bust, but physical potential is impressive.
17) Clevelan Santeliz, RHP, Grade C: I know he throws hard and has the pretty
ERA in Double-A, but his walk rate remains too high for me to trust him at
this point.
18) Lucas Harrell, RHP, Grade C: Another guy with a decent arm but
unattractive component ratios.
19) Brandon Hynick, RHP, Grade C: Nice pickup from the Rockies, possible
inning-eater type though stuff is marginal.
20) Carlos Torres, RHP, Grade C: Old for a prospect at 27, but pitched well
in Triple-A and could be a useful staff asset.
Others of Note (all grade C): Kyle Bellamy, RHP; Ryan Buch, RHP; Nick Ciolli,
OF; Justin Collop, RHP; Tyson Corley, RHP; Eduardo Escobar, SS; Stefan
Gartrell, OF; Jon Gilmore, 3B; Nevin Griffith, RHP; Gregory Infante, RHP;
Nathan Jones, RHP; Jon Link, RHP; Charlie Leesman, LHP; Dan Remenowsky, RHP;
Sergio Santos, RHP; Joe Serafin, LHP; Brady Shoemaker, OF; Taylor Thompson,
RHP.
This is a very thin farm system, thanks in part to frequent trades and major
league graduations like Gordon Beckham. I like the four guys at the top:
Hudson and Mitchell are both personal favorites, though both still have
enough questions to keep them from getting B+ ratings. Flowers seems to have
come around defensively and has a good bat. Morel is another guy I like quite
a bit and he has breakout potential in '10.
After that things thin out fast. Danks, Viciedo, and Holmberg all have good
potential but even bigger questionmarks than the top guys. Marrero strikes me
as an underrated player. Rodriguez and Gonzalez are intriguing but we need to
see them at higher levels. After that we have a bunch of potential role
players, possible bullpen arms, or guys with big ceilings but gigantic holes
in their game (Trayce Thompson).
If Mitchell begins to fulfill his potential he'll be the clear number one
next year.
