Great thread.

Great thread.

2017- Moncada
2018- Jimenez
2019- Kopech
2020- Robert
2021- Whoever they draft next year

meanwhile, Keith Law will rate each of them around #20

The White Sox drafted none of those players. Why would you assume a White Sox draft pick could be a #1 prospect?

Agreed on Drafting...also not sure we can guarantee Robert will be a #1 prospect.

Lol. So true. Funny how Law almost immediately lowers a players ranking when they become a White Sox. - jacksss must be a lowly Twins fan.

We can't. I can.

Guaranteed. Book it!

Going by the "fans" (who root for losing as many games as possible) at soxtalk.com they will have the number 1 prospect in perpetuity.

And none of them will miss, ever.

It's likely that Acuna is the top prospect on some lists next year. Otherwise, there's actually a decent shot of it happening with Jimenez and Kopech. Not too sure what will happen in 2020.

Robert has a line of .284/.500/.463 with 2 HR's and 6 2B's through 24 games of rookie ball.

And holy shit Jimenez is slugging .707 since joining Winston-Salem.

What is the point of winning games this year, particularly when we have a good shot at landing the #2 overall pick? You must have some bad wiring in your head if you're currently deriving pleasure from White Sox victories. It's not a far cry from hoping that the Bears win when they're like 2-12.

Turn off the fucking television and find something else to do with your time. Go dodge cars on the Kennedy.

I don't suppose you know how first round picks turn out historically. This isn't football, Mr. DWF.

I wonder what the record is for something like this? Maybe not #1 but like having a top 5?


Gotta think the Royals had a nice run

Whatever, I'll take my chances with the #2, or perhaps even the #1 overall pick. I'd wager that people with functioning brains are hoping for that precise scenario.

DWF - I don't suppose you can tell us who was the last position prospect the White Sox drafted and developed into a successful major league player, could you? I'm assuming you've done the research given that you supposedly have a functioning brain.

I would not bet against the Sox in this rebuild given their ability to develop pitching, their immense financial flexibility, and their division opposition.

Why? The Sox have been picking early for awhile now.. They are pretty lousy at identifying and developing talent. They are cheap too, you won't see them signing high priced FAs.
