Baseball Prospectus 2011 Top 11 White Sox Prospects

by soxrocks33 on Jan 27, 2011 11:34 AM CST

Baseball Prospectus posted their top 11 prospects for the 2011 season. I trust this one alot more than Baseball America's, since Phil Rogers writes it. Here is the list; I've posted a link below:

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.

Youdaman.

By definition, if you have fewer than 3 balls you are normal.

whats the difference between a fanshot and a fanpost?

by soxrocks33 on Jan 27, 2011 1:18 PM CST reply actions

a fanpost is something you write yourself

a fanshot is a link to someone else’s work

When I was a kid, I didn't want to be a doctor or a fireman. I wanted to be Super Mario. It's the most literal pipe dream I've ever had.

In future just take a look around

for similar posts like these. Sometimes we get an overlap by an hour or so. 2 days is a bit much. Thanks.

Does UZR take into consideration the JumpThrow?

I never really understand

Joining a blog and just starting with your own thread. You’d think you would get the lay of the land for a while before you start posting in general somewhere new, let alone creating your own threads.

Unless it was some unique, original content, I don’t get it at all.

Kids today, eh GiT?

That's what forums are for.

subject line

Wow, I really offended some people. I was just trying to share something I saw that I thought would make for good discussion.
Is there a defined amount of time you have to wait before you post your first thread? Maybe there should be a test you have to take before signing up for this blog, regarding threads, fanshots and fanposts. I’d probably fail.

It would have been fine -- had it not been posted two days earlier.

There’s already a thread with 60-something comments on it, on the same right rail you posted on. We strive for a high signal-to-noise ratio here, and having multiple threads covering the same exact article is noise.

There’s no set time on when to create a Fanpost; I’d just recommend that you have some idea of whether or not people are already talking about it. Each Fanshot/Fanpost is supposed to create a different discussion. If you’d rather look before leaping every time, there are numerous forums designed for that.
