White Sox Community Prospect Ranking -- You're Invited
by The Cheat on Oct 9, 2008 10:08 PM CDT
233 comments
The topic of prospects came up (and started to take over) in the previous thread, so I thought now would be a great time to give out Community Prospect Ranking another shot. It's been a year since we last attempted this, and since then, I've discovered how to use Google Forms. So, this will be a little bit different (and hopefully a whole lot easier) than in years past.
After the jump, I've embedded a form listing 20+ White Sox prospects. Please rank your Top 10 (and only your top 10) from 1-10 (with 1 being best). I've left off Adam Russell, who lost his rookie eligibility due to the number of days he spent on the big league roster. Surprisingly, Clayton Richard appears to limbo just underneath the rookie eligibility bar.
Once all the data has been collected, I'll perform some College AP Poll-type weighting to the results and post our Community Rankings

This was all off the top of my head:
1) Beckham
2) Poreda
3) Richard
4) Allen
5) Getz
6) Danks
7) Egbert
8) Gerst
9) Carter
10) Ely
Man, that’s still a really bad system.

just for the consideration of others.
i think cole armstrong should have been included in the above and should be a strong consideration for people’s top ten as a write-in. literally as i write this, he’s ripping through AFL pitching. good thing the sox protected him instead of whatever hernandez, right, wiz?

we'll see. i retain optimism.
me saying he should be considered for a top ten says more about who you put on the list in front of him and the state of the white sox organization than anything else. i know i’d put the odds of him playing in the majors much higer than morel, gerst, mcculloch, griffin, silverio…

here's a question then:
can we officially assign armstrong a floor of back-up catcher? is he officially likely to be a major leaguer?

ask me in a month.
he’s certainly trying.
by larry on Oct 9, 2008 4:14 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
any further conclusions about his ceiling then?
his peripherals have historically sucked pretty bad, so he’ll need to have a definitive skill at hitting for average to be good. so yeah, i guess we do just have to wait.

Question to whoever knows
what are the cheapest would be free agents likely to retain their A status after 2009 available this winter?

i don't understand this question.
are you looking for players to sign to one year deals like that? the answer to that is probably no one. maybe milton bradley. otherwise, guys who are type As generally aren’t going to sign short deals and projecting performance after 2011 or something ain’t easy.
by larry on Oct 9, 2008 5:34 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
cabrera types, maybe?
guys with one year left who could be obtained reasonably in trade and then allowed to walk for the compensation picks. i’m just guessing that’s what colin’s getting at. cot’s contracts has a list of 2010 free agents here.
your guess is undoubtedly superior to mine as to which of them are ilkely to be type a’s after next year. some infield names of possible interest to the sox as stopgaps:
Mark DeRosa CHC
Adam Kennedy STL
Placido Polanco DET
Brian Roberts BAL
Freddy Sanchez * PIT
Bobby Crosby OAK
Alex Gonzalez * CIN
Khalil Greene SD
Jack Wilson * PIT
Adrian Beltre SEA
Hank Blalock TEX

I didn't recall when we did this last year, interesting.
but I thought of how we were proposing rearrangements for the organization during the season last year, whereas we waited until after the season this year.

I had the same trouble as OSFIB in that I'm not sure how to rank prospects
but I checked their profiles on fangraphs and based my order on how I thought they would contribute at the major league level (ie pulling it out of my ass). I would suppose this would be the opposite of the “upside” argument, but WTF do I know?
1 Beckham
2 Poreda
3 Richard
4 Getz
5 Danks
6 Egbert
7 Allen
8 Cassell
9 Harrell
10 Rasner
Unfortunately for cheat, I clicked on McCulloch accidentally and couldn’t erase the bubble completely, so I put him at #10 even though I didn’t intend to include him.

4. Brandon Allen, I missed him before this year. I didn’t include him in my White Sox prospect rankings in the Project Prospect report last year. Highest power upside of anyone in the system
5. Clayton Richard, it may be a long process but I think he can become something quite useful
6. Jack Egbert, he’s testing my faith but it was one bad year
7. John Shelby, a really weak K/BB ratio in a league he was a bit old for, but the talent is there
8. Chris Getz, the kid has spunk
9. Jack Ely, stuff is there

ask WU. he's the financial advisor.
timing the market is generally quite difficult. i don’t think things will fall a great deal further than where they are now; however, i’m not sure we’re going to see much bounce from these levels, either, in the near term. i would be more inclined to invest at around these levels than hold cash if i weren’t a particularly sophisticated investor. keep in mind the tax advantages that come with putting money into your 401K (savings that can’t be deferred to another tax year). also, you can usually invest in conservative investments, such as bonds, via your 401K so you don’t have to invest in equities.

Tax-deferred compounding. You WANT to be buying for a 30-40 year time horizion right now, and hopefully things suck for a long time so you are not paying higher and higher prices when you are buying.

I have a couple of buddies who have 4 year business degrees,
if you don’t have any experience these days you will only find entry level jobs. Seems like college may be a little over rated for all the money your parents shell out. That 6 years in school will cost you 6 years of work experience and you will come home with a cocaine and prostitute addiction. No doubt about it, people who graduate make much more money over the course of their lives than people who don’t.

Blackhawks opener tonight w00t!
although I’m not too happy that each and every game (approx) 10% of the payroll will be firmly planted on the bench in the form of a backup goalie because the GM thought it was a good idea to sign one goalie for ~$6 million without having a plan for his other ~$6 million goalie. Oh, yeah, and there’s also the issue of the team not being able to ice its best possible team because said GM fucked up and now has to send down a competent 3-4 defenseman (Cam Barker) just to stay under the cap. Sigh…
oh, yeah, and fuck the salary cap. Seriously, it sucks. Competitive balance my ass.

am trying to get back into the sport
what do you think of the youngins? Was Campbell really worth the contract he got, all I hear about on ESPN is that he was the most sought after defenceman on the market… either way, I guess its nice to see the Hawks moving in the right direction, which I guess is better than not moving at all.
"...fined for what, hittin' the ball into outer space?"
by Illini0509 on Oct 10, 2008 11:40 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
The youngins are good... really good.
Toews and Kane are franchise players (Toews ahead of Kane, IMO, but that’s subjective. Toews strikes me as a better finisher and plays a better two-way game but Kane’s hands are sick and his vision is top class) — they’re not in the Crosby/Ovechkin class but they’re only a notch below. Keith and Seabrook aren’t touted but they’ve been pretty steady and are young enough to where it wouldn’t shock me for them to settle in as #2-3 type defensemen. If Havlat stays healthy he’ll score 30+ goals (big big if — I’d compare him to Rich Harden. He’s absolutely a world-class player, just can’t seem to stay healthy for extended periods of time. IMO he’s the difference between the Hawks being a 4-6 seed in the West versus a 7-8 seed.) Byfuglien is also good.
Re: Campbell, you get kind of a mixed bag. He’s a very good offensive defenseman… he skates well, he can set-up the powerplay and he’s got a good shot. He’s not going to be great defensively but he’ll help with the rush up the ice. He and the afformentioned Keith are the fastest two defensemen (maybe even skaters in general) in the NHL so it should be fun to watch those two. I say it’s a mixed bag because Campbell probably isn’t worth the money and years he got, but for the next couple seasons that shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll be angry if his contract prevents them from extending guys like Keith, Seabrook, Toews, Kane and Byfuglien (among others), but I guess that’s a bridge will have to cross when it gets here.
I’ll leave you with this — even though expectations are extremely high, I’d be wary of ‘newcomers’ (I hope you don’t take offense to that — I’m using that term rather liberally) placing too much expectations on this group. This is the best team the Blackhawks have had in my lifetime (I’m not counting the early-to-mid 90s years — I was alive then, sure, but I remember none of it) but that isn’t saying a whole lot. This is a team that’s still a year or two away from contending for the Cup. My expectations are a playoff appearance, but a few key injuries can quickly throw a wrench into that.

Wow
Thanks for the thorough response. I understand the whole newcomer concept, I fall more into the camp of jaded fan who was sick of the crap product Wirtz put out there. From what I understand most “experts” are predicting a 7-8 finish. Last time I watched the Hawks was probably when they were swept by the Blues my freshmen year, I don’t believe they scored the entire series. You going to the game at Wrigley? A few of my friends got tickets, but they were fairly expensive.
"...fined for what, hittin' the ball into outer space?"
by Illini0509 on Oct 10, 2008 12:14 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
i agree
Campbell was slightly overpaid, but oh well.He is the leader of the powerplay and with Byfuglien, Toews, Kane, and Keith I expect a top 8 powerplay. This years team is a much more physical lineup. Campbell is know of more of a passer and skater but he can lay down some hits. As well as our goon Ben Eager (suspended the first 3 games for swinging his stick at someone) there is also Burish (first hawk over 200 penalty minutes in a season since Probert), Sopel, Wisniewski, and Byfuglien (who for all his big hits, never, ever fights) I expect a physical lineup. If the Hawks agree to pick up a million or two of Khabby’s contract, he can be moved at the deadline for either a temporary hired gun (like Carl Everett, Sandy Alomar, or GS) or some prospects.

I-0509 -- no, I (probably) won't be going to the Wrigley game unless tickets fall into my lap somehow. Too pricey for this college student.
As far as the physicality of this year’s team, I’d disagree — compared to your average hockey team, I’d say they’re below average. Eager is the team’s ‘heavyweight’ and he’s most certainly not a heavyweight. They do have some guys who are willing to go (Wisniewski, Burish), but as a group I’d say they’re below average in that department.
Having said that, I don’t think that’s a huge deal. I’m not completely diminishing it but (this is quick and dirty, I’m not putting a whole lot of thought into it) I’d compare being ‘tough’ or ‘physical’ (in the sense of having some protection for Kane, Toews and Havlat) to speed in baseball. If you have it, great — you’re certainly a better team if you do have it. But it’s not necessarily a fatal flaw, either.
And as far as Khabi, money can’t be picked up in a trade — thems the rules. Tallon fucked up, plain and simple. An even more worrying aspect could be Huet himself. I’m not necessarily sure he’s the guy to give ~4/$20 to considering the most games he’s played in a season is 52. In general I’m leery about most non-Broduer/Roy-type goalies. I kind of view them the same way I view running backs in the NFL — you have an elite few who will most likely do well regardless of who’s blocking/playing defense in front of them, but outside of that you are going to be made or be broken by who is in front of you.

We need a true long man, another set up man, another starter, and about 4 speedy players who can get on base and put down a bunt when needed. Though, I believe we move on the ALCS with a healthy Jose, Q!, and Crede.

this info comes from a book, not a subscription.
if you’re going to pay for one baseball site, it should be baseball prospectus. that said, you can get plenty of info from free sites like hardball times, fangraphs, tom tango’s blog, etc.

just because you chose to argue with me.
" BP still hates the white sox; nate silver likely a communist.
Prediction
With the White Sox missing Quentin and Crede, the Rays are simply the better baseball club. Their principal vulnerability is their comparative weakness against left-handed pitching, but they hedge against that well by having Scott Kazmir lined up to duel Mark Buehrle. I expect the Sox to make a series of it—especially if they can steal Game One, which would seem to present the most favorable matchup for the Rays on paper (home game against a righty). But the percentage play is Rays in five."

the sox out-talled their opponent.

it's not your fault
Mariotti said the sox were dead. If by any chance he visits these blogs (i think he does, what else does he do?) and saw my avatar he would realize how much sox fans hate him. I will give him credit though, he did say the sox would win the division going into the twins series. He was the only one, we all knew it would come down to that last day. shows how much he watches the sox, apparently not enough to report on them.

"Cora is a huge figure in the Northwest" ?
The Seattle Mariners have Sox bench coach Joey Cora atop their managerial list. Cora is a huge figure in the Northwest, and now that the Sox are done for the year, the interview process will begin.

is cora a huge figure in the northwest or is cowley drunk? hsa?
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

Richard has to be above Poreda right?
this is where I get confused, are we asking who is major league ready first, or who will make the biggest impact? Once I have the parameters down I will make my list.
