Rotoworld debuted their Top 10 prospects lists for the entire AL Central today. My SB Nation colleague, John Sickels, started his Top 20 prospect lists today with the Twins, so expect the Sox list to debut over at Minor League Ball in the near future. Here's how Rotoworld compared to BA and our list.

I assume they mean Francisco Hernandez when they list Fernando Martinez. Martinez is a 16 year old catcher the Mets gave a $1.5M signing bonus to this past summer.
The most entertaining White Sox related news of the day had to be this question from the mailbag on ChiSox.com.
I've been thinking about the upcoming year, and I honestly believe that with our lineup, we will be the first team to ever go undefeated. I know it might sound a little far fetched, but what is your prediction for next year? Also, do we really even need a bullpen for next year?

I think we all know the true identity of "Ben."
