White Sox Organizational Depth Chart
I'm sure some of you are familiar with these. Moneyball, co-authored by Billy Beane and Billy's IBM Laptop, introduced the concept to a wider audience. It's exactly what it purports to be: a player depth chart for an organization from the majors all the way down the minors. They're an excellent...
Disappointing White Sox Prospects of 2009
The progression of a minor league player is rarely an uninterrupted straight line to the majors. Instead, players plateau at some level along the way. Even those few who make the majors usually experience a plateau or even a regression along their way. This week, I'm looking at some players who...
Interesting White Sox Prospects to Watch in 2010
With the wrapping up of the minor league seasons, prospect list season is upon us. Before I unveil the Official SSS Top Ten White Sox Prospects List, I'm going to highlight some of the players who didn't make the list. This week, I'm looking at some of the players at the low levels of the White...
This Week in White Sox Minor League Baseball
This week: Daniel Hudson looks like he won't be making the majors this season, which is the correct move. He certainly does not look out of place in AAA, though: 4 GS, 21 IP, 21 H, 8 BB, 19 K. You'd be hard-pressed to find a more meteoric single season rise, particularly from a non-highly-touted...

This week: Daniel Hudson had a decent, though inefficient, outing: 5 IP, 6 H, 2 BB, 4 K, 1 WP while also permitting four stolen bases. Ben Badler has an extensive scouting report on this outing (Jon Link report, too). The Tribune profiled Hudson and Kevin Goldstein declared Hudson his minor...

This week Jake Peavy began his White Sox organization career with a very good 43 pitch outing: 3 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K. His next start will be August 18, likely for the Knights again. Sox Machine has video from his start. Word is that September 3 against the Cubs is the target for his first...

This week: Daniel Hudson takes over as the undisputed top pitching prospect in the organization. While there still seems to be confusion about whether he has a plus fastball or an average fastball or a nice slider or a poor slurve and some don't like his mechanics, all seem to be in agreement...
This Week in White Sox Minor League Baseball
This week, we check in with some of the White Sox' draft picks: Jared Mitchell OF (1st Rd), Kannapolis: .400/.478/.600. He signed a bit late and then was placed on the DL to ease his way into pro ball so that line is only from six games. Historically, the Sox have pushed their highly drafted...

This week: The White Sox finally answered my question regarding how long they can keep a player with a line of .302/.445/.548 in AA when they promoted Tyler Flowers to Charlotte. From watching him in the Futures Game, I was satisfied with his abilities behind the plate. He appears to have shown...
This Week in White Sox Minor League Baseball
This week: Jared Mitchell signed for a bonus of $1.2 million, right in line with slot, and was assigned to Kannapolis - where he promptly was placed on the 7-day disabled list. No word at this point on the reason why though it may just be that he's being eased into pro ball and the Intimidators...
