Kiley brings us video of last night's start by Dodgers' top prospect RHP Zach Lee. He faces White Sox prospects OF Trayce Thompson & OF Keenyn Walker in the video from a workmanlike performance over 5.2 IP.
Top Outfield Prospects Off to Shockingly Slow Starts
Sure, the White Sox' farm system is ranked 28th by Baseball Prospectus. But that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of bright spots throughout Rick Hahn and Buddy Bell's farm system.
As we've discussed plenty before, the strongest unit of the team's organization is the outfield, which is set at both the major and minor league levels. In fact, four of the...
Checking in on the Future: The Outfield Quartet
For seemingly many years now, the White Sox farm system has been viewed as one of the MLB’s worst. Whether it’s because of trades that took depth away from the farm system or just bad drafting, there’s a school of many that believe the Minor Leagues of our Palehose leaves a lot to be desired.
However, there’s four guys who, from what they have displayed through their...
FanGraphs+ Player-Profile Game: Question #5
FanGraphs+ is here! And all week, we’ve been giving away free subscriptions to the service just for skips and skittles. And since it’s one o’clock Eastern — yes, my colleague Carson Cistulli has had considerable difficulty making the time, but that’s fine — that means it’s time for another edition of the vaunted FanGraphs+ Player-Profile Game!
I: post a profile —...
Chicago White Sox Top 15 Prospects (2012-13)
The Chicago White Sox organization ranked 30th on the Top 30 minor league systems list entering 2012 but this is a much improved system after a couple of solid drafts and a number of prospects took big steps forward in their development. It’s an organization on the rise.

AFL Preview: Salt River Rafters
After reading about Mesa, Phoenix, Scottsdale and Peoria, you probably think you've got these previews figured out. Not so fast. Salt River provided me with a dilemma, and because I'm making the rules up to these previews as I go, I responded by offering you, the readers, a twist.

Bubba Starling’s Lengthy Swing
Last week, a number of chat questions about Kansas City Royals Bubba Starling earned me comparisons to ESPN’s Skip Bayliss for statements perceived as outlandish. Yes, Starling was a top-5 overall pick in one of the deepest drafts in recent memory. Yes, he was a two sport athlete with the assumed ceiling of not only a big leaguer, but National Football League quarterback as well...
9th Inning Rally Falls Short, And Indians Are Done For 2012
Charlotte Knights 6, Indianapolis Indians 4
(Box)
Kris Johnson started but pitched only one inning.
The Indianapolis Indians’ 2012 season has come to an end, as they lost to the Charlotte Knights at Knights’ Stadium tonight. The Knights won this best-of-five playoff series, 3 games to 1, and they will move on to face the Pawtucket Red Sox in the Governor’s Cup series...
Minor Accomplishments for Week 21
Back in May, while previewing some draft prospects, I mentioned that Marcus Stroman was well suited to climb the ladder quickly. And then just three weeks ago in my Week 18 MiLB report, I reiterated that sentiment, this time suggesting that Stroman might even be in line for a September call-up. Well, a lot can change in just a few weeks, especially when, during those few weeks...
Trayce Thompson and Lucas Giolito: Scouting the Unknown
Trayce Thompson | OF, White Sox | Born: 3/15/1991
As usual, roster activity around the minors has increased greatly as the MiLB regular season approaches its final weeks. A slew of notable prospects are on the move to new clubs at new levels, and I’ve been doing my best to keep y’all informed in my weekly Minor Accomplishments posts. Well this past Sunday, I neglected to...
Chicago White Sox Top 10 Prospects Update
I did a Chicago White Sox top 10 prospects piece right as Spring Training ended and here is how they have been doing through the first five weeks of the season.
1. Addison Reed, RP, Chicago White Sox- 13 GP 10 IP 0-0 0.00 ERA 5 hits 14 K 3 BB WHIP 0.923. Reed has been very good out of the White Sox bullpen, especially with the absence of Jesse Crain.

2012 Top 20 Prospects – Chicago White Sox
It’s prospect season again. I’ve had my rankings listed on team pages, but have been horrible about keeping those up to date. As I mentioned on the pages, I’m looking at other rankings when I make mine (along with scouting reports and my own opinion). Second to last have the South-Siders – the White Sox.
For the top 20, I’ve listed them according to my ranking. I’ve...
White Sox Off Day Episode 3: Scouting The Majors and Minors with South Side Larry
Our first regular season episode of White Sox Off Day is in the books!
I don’t know about you, but it definitely cured my off day blues. Off course, I hosted it, so I’m biased; but hopefully it will have the same positive impact on you.
We spend the first 45 minutes of the show talking about all levels of the White Sox organization with Larry from South Side Sox.
He provides...
White Sox Keenyn Walker Is All Tools
Last June, the Chicago White Sox plucked outfielder Keenyn Walker from the junior college ranks with the 47th overall pick in the amateur draft. After seeing him in person late in the 2011 season, it became apparent the organization tried to have their cake and eat it too to some extent with the selection of Walker. How so? For a touch under $800,000 in signing bonus, Walker has...
White Sox invite 18 players to Spring Training
Some of the White Sox outfield of the future figures to be on display during Spring Training 2012, with Monday's announcement that Jared Mitchell, Trayce Thompson, Jordan Danks and Brandon Short were among the 18 players receiving non-roster invites.
Chicago White Sox 2011 Minor League Review
(Note from Grey: Please welcome Scott to the Razzball family. He’s going to be taking over as our prospects writer. He charted prospects in the Midwest League in 2008, has a sound understanding of player development and said my mustache was robust. Flattery will get you everywhere!)
