here is a list of the top 20 prospects for the sox. there are quite a few lists but these are the ones in the top 20 on most of them but are in different order on some sites. also at the bottom are honorable mentions i guess you can call them. i will try and get info on them as well
www.minorleagueball.com/2009/12/9/1194068/chicago-whitesox-top-20-prospects1) Dan Hudson, RHP, Grade B+: A personal favorite, since I rated him as a big sleeper pre-season and he really broke through.
2) Jared Mitchell, OF, Grade B: Grade A tools, refinement is a Grade C/C+ right now.
3) Tyler Flowers, C, Grade B: Power and patience are plusses, defense has improved a great deal according to all reports.
4) Brent Morel, 3B, Grade B-: I think he's underrated. Only questions about power at higher levels keep him from a Grade B. Now blocked behind Mark Teahen, a long-term signing I don't understand.
5) Jordan Danks, OF, Grade C+: Borderline Grade B-, as I like the tools and think the bat may still come around.
6) Dayan Viciedo, 3B, Grade C+: Cutting him some slack since he was young for Double-A and was pushed fast, but this is a good example of why we need performance data rather than just hype and team propaganda/scouting reports when evaluating players.
7) David Holmberg, LHP, Grade C+: Will the fastball get faster? If it does his stock could go up quickly.
8) C.J. Retherford, 2B, Grade C+: He can hit despite unimpressive tools. Not sure how he fits into long-term plans.
9) Christian Marrero, 1B-OF, Grade C+: Looks underrated to me. Could be a good platoon player.
10) Santos Rodriguez, LHP, Grade C+: Gotta love the strikeouts, but a long way from being ready to help. High ceiling though.
11) Miguel Gonzalez, C, Grade C+: Interesting catcher with good hitting in the Appy League and good glove rep, could rise quickly up the list in '10.
12) Jhonny Nunez, RHP, Grade C+: Power relief arm could help sometime soon.
13) Josh Phegley, C, Grade C+: Borderline Grade C; defensive questions still present and he had trouble transitioning from metal to wood, but can't ignore Indiana numbers completely yet.
14) John Ely, RHP, Grade C: TRADED TO DODGERS
15) John Shelby, OF, Grade C: TRADED TO DODGERS
16) Tracye Thompson, OF, Grade C: Great tools, horrible hitting skills at this point. High risk of bust, but physical potential is impressive.
17) Clevelan Santeliz, RHP, Grade C: I know he throws hard and has the pretty ERA in Double-A, but his walk rate remains too high for me to trust him at this point.
18) Lucas Harrell, RHP, Grade C: Another guy with a decent arm but unattractive component ratios.
19) Brandon Hynick, RHP, Grade C: Nice pickup from the Rockies, possible inning-eater type though stuff is marginal.
20) Carlos Torres, RHP, Grade C: Old for a prospect at 27, but pitched well in Triple-A and could be a useful staff asset.
Others of Note (all grade C): Kyle Bellamy, RHP; Ryan Buch, RHP; Nick Ciolli, OF; Justin Collop, RHP; Tyson Corley, RHP; Eduardo Escobar, SS; Stefan Gartrell, OF; Jon Gilmore, 3B; Nevin Griffith, RHP; Gregory Infante, RHP; Nathan Jones, RHP; Jon Link, RHP; Charlie Leesman, LHP; Dan Remenowsky, RHP; Sergio Santos, RHP; Joe Serafin, LHP; Brady Shoemaker, OF; Taylor Thompson, RHP.
