[小襪] BP Chicago White Sox Top 11 Prospects
System in 20 Words or Less: Chris Sale falls into their lap in the 2010
draft, saving the system from the indignity of being without a five-star
prospect.
Five-Star Prospects
1. Chris Sale, LHP
Four-Star Prospects
2. Eduardo Escobar, SS
3. Brent Morel, 3B
Three-Star Prospects
4. Dayan Viciedo, 1B/3B
5. Jared Mitchell, CF
6. Jacob Petricka, RHP
7. Greg Infante, RHP
8. Trayce Thompson, OF
Two-Star Prospects
9. Addison Reed, RHP
10. Thomas Royse, RHP
11. Andre Rienzo, RHP
Nine More:
12. Tyler Saladino, SS: Last year's seventh-round pick had a stunning pro
debut, and he's a legit shortstop.
13. Tyler Flowers, C: His offensive and defense both went backward in 2010,
leaving many to see him as a Quad-A player who can't catch in the big leagues.
14. Brandon Short, OF: He can definitely hit, but he has very few secondary
skills.
15. Anthony Carter, RHP: The Sox' Double-A closer has mid-90s heat, but he
lacks a second plus pitch.
16. Josh Phegley, C: He sure can hit, but he also sure can't catch.
17. Matt Heidenreich, RHP: This 2009 fourth-rounder has great control of
solid stuff that should get better.
18. Charles Leesman, LHP: Leesman is a big, physical lefty who had a strong
second half, but his lack of a deep arsenal could get him moved to the
bullpen.
19. Santos Rodriguez, LHP: This long southpaw has killer stuff, but he also
has poor control and an inability to stay healthy.
20. Jordan Danks, OF: Well, at least he still has some tools.
1. Chris Sale, LHP
DOB: 3/30/89
Height/Weight: 6-5/170
Bats/Throws: L/L
Drafted/Signed: First round, 2010, Florida Gulf Coast University
2010 Stats: 2.25 ERA (4.0-3-2-4) at High-A (4 G); 2.84 ERA (6.1-3-4-15) at
Triple-A (7 G); 1.93 ERA (23.1-15-10-32) at MLB (21 G)
Best/Worst Tool: Fastball/command
Year in Review: The top college pitcher in the draft somehow fell to the
White Sox with the 13th overall pick, and he reached the big leagues quickly.
The Good: Sale is a long, angular southpaw with outstanding stuff. His
fastball sits in the low to mid-90s as a starter, but it bumped up to 95-99
mph in short relief stints as a pro. His changeup is a true plus offering
with depth and fade, while his slider is at least average and can flash plus.
His all arms-and-legs delivery adds deception to his delivery, and he earns
high grades for his poise and makeup.
The Bad: Sale's quick ascension to the big leagues confuses his future; to
remain a starter, he needs to find more consistency with his mechanics and
improve his command. He's rail thin, leaving some to wonder if he can handle
a starter's workload, but at the same time he held his stuff deep into his
starts in college.
Ephemera: Of the 26 batters Sale faced in Triple-A last year, 15 of them
struck out.
Perfect World Projection: He could be an upper-tier starter or shut-down
closer.
Fantasy Impact: It's big either way.
Path to the Big Leagues: Sale is preparing to start this year, but the White
Sox front office remains divided as to his future role. The range of
possibilities for April range from Opening Day starter at Double- or Triple-A
to big-league closer.
ETA: 2011
