Sickels' Top 20 White Sox Prospects
1) Gordon Beckham, SS, Grade B+: Very advanced prospect with across-the-board skills. Could get to A- next year.
2) Aaron Poreda, LHP, Grade B+: Power lefty was a bit more polished than anticipated. Does he start or relieve?
3) Tyler Flowers, C, Grade B: Impressive power bat acquired in Vasquez(sic) deal.
4) Brandon Allen, 1B, Grade B- [edit]: Enormous raw power, but high strikeout rate is concerning.
5) Dayan Viciendo (sic), 3B, Grade B- [edit]: Wild guess on grade and rating. Scouting reports indicate Angel Villalona type, but who knows?
6)Clayton Richard, LHP, Grade C+: Throws strikes, nice sinker, not a big margin for error.
7) Jordan Danks, OF, Grade C+: Excellent tools, played well in pro debut, and I still think he can show some power eventually.
8) Chris Getz, 2B, Grade C+: Nice contact hitter, should be useful but not a star.
9) John Shelby, OF, Grade C+: Good tools, has speed and power, but strike zone judgment may hold him back.
10) Jose Martinez, OF, Grade C+: Good tools, season cut short by knee injury. Will power come?
11) Brent Morel, 3B, Grade C+: Nice debut. Joe Randa type?

i wonder where are system falls in all of baseball now...
larry has that system down to a science. Especially with the way the economy is….big wigs like larry coming in dressed in their mink coats and 24k gold cigarrete holders with pockets lined with coke make for a large draw during shift changes.

That's an interesting question
I think Sickels would say pretty low still (especially since he rates Viciedo so low). And I’ve seen both him and someone else (maybe Goldstein?) comment on the system lacking depth.
It brings up the interesting question how valuable having a bunch of B-/C+ prospects is. Almost all of those guys aren’t going to useful major leaguers, so I’d value a think system with a couple of A- guys higher. But that’s just me. And the Sox don’t have any A- guys anyway in a lot of people’s view.

The Sox aren't going to have any A- guys
And that has to do with what it takes to be ranked as an A- guy more than the talent of the guys in the Sox system..
Beckham is the only one I can picture making it there…
To be an A- type prospect you have to have both the tools and at least a full season of excellent minor-league production (usually above A-ball, but depends more on age vs. league)
Poreda would have needed a K-rate above 10/9IP and/or a plus secondary pitch. The rest of the high upside guys either lack the minor league record (Danks, Beckham, Viciedo) or have big question marks (Flowers, Allen)
And even if a few of those guys make it to the point where they could be rated as A-type prospects at some point next season, the Sox will have noticed the same thing and put them on the major league club, likely removing their prospect status.

Take these evaluations with a grain of salt.
Here’s what a talent agent said about Fred Astaire after seeing his first screen test:
“Can’t act. Can’t sing. Balding. Can dance a little.”

BA to hit 25 dingers next year
“I’m going to keep saying the same thing I’ve always said — I believe in Brian Anderson,” Williams said. “The talent is there. Now he has an attitude that … he gets it now. He’s working hard. He had a great attitude last year and he performed. If he had a full season of at-bats underneath him last year, he would have hit 25 home runs and driven in 80-plus runs.”

someone should probably tell KW that ozzie sort of used him a lot against lefties on purpose
and that the simple math doesn’t quite work out.

Kenny is such a moron; why can't he grab Hanley Ramirez from the marlins to hit leaadoff?
I keep hearing that the White Sox are looking for a good leadoff hitter with speed. Why doesn’t Williams trade for someone like Reyes of the New York Mets or Hanley Ramirez of the Florida Marlins? To me, they are both good fielders and are great leadoff hitters with great power and speed that the White Sox can use. Do you think Williams would consider a trade like that to give the White Sox a good leadoff spot?
— Raymond, Chicago
With the Padres shopping Jake Peavy and the White Sox looking for a veteran starter, do you think Williams will make a move for him?

All but two of the free agents who were offered arbitration turned it down in the hopes of landing multiyear deals elsewhere. But increasingly, it appears that the Jason Variteks and Orlando Cabreras are going to have a difficult time landing deals that match what they might have made in arbitration. “With everything that’s going on, and the way the prices are dropping, there’s no way I’d give Orlando Cabrera a two-year deal for big money — not when I have to give up a draft pick,” a club official said. “Not a chance.”

Thought you guys might want to see a different ranking
18. Gordon Beckham – 25-30 HR Shortstop
61. Dayan Viciedo – Intriguing kid could be a force with the bat
68. Tyler Flowers – Not sure about his future as C, but good power and OBP
Dewey’s 1-99 prospect ranking link
I was surprised to see that Poreda is not on the list. I thought within the organization he is well above some of the other guys on this list.

But since nobody else cares (obviously), especially not larry, who will now undoubtedly never click that little box, even if he wanted to, I have adjusted….like I said above – I wait to the end of the thread if I am way behind like now, so I don’t lose my spot.

if they actually bored you, you wouldn’t respond, hence the being bored part. you’re actively choosing to respond and participate (or, more properly, shit on their thread), so i find your statement somewhat disingenuous.
it’s just being a dick to be a dick. no better than WTGTD getting blazed and calling everyone a fag. if you’re trying to turn a discussion back to what you deign worthy, there are more constructive ways. flies, vinegar/honey, all that shit. instead the discussion goes from whatever it was that bored you to everybody going “wow, way to be a dick, lar”. and then back to what they were trying to initially discuss.

Was scrolling through the Tango blog
Apparently the CHONE pitcher projections INCLUDE team defense projections.
And the Sox project to be pretty bad at defense next year, whereas the Rays should be quite good again. So that probably accounts for a lot of the suck.
