Eye test. Rongey is just as big (if not bigger) an apologist as Zaidman is.

True.

Keyser will never admit it, but he is clearly pissed that the Cubs have Theo & Co getting the system pointed in the right direction. And he is stuck with a bad system caught in a downward spiral with a GM that cannot make up his mind whether he is rebuilding or not.

Yep. We can't all sign the great David DeJesus and Kerry Woods.

Thanks for agreeing with me.

Danks was never a top prospect and just because he appeared on some llist doesn't make it so. These guys are not infallible. They're wrong, a lot. Hell they had Hayden Simpson as a top Cubs prospect last year and you can't get any more wrong than that.

Here is another lesson..there is this thing called GOOGLE ..go to it and try typing in JORDAN DANKS TOP PROSPECT and you will get About 1,010,000 results ...certainly they are ALL WRONG and ONLY you are right ...he may not have been on your list but it seems like you are the only one who is always right... after all DWARVES are always correct...I will go back to trolling .. be careful on that bridge

Where the hell did this Inquisitor Keyser feud come from and what is the dwarf thing?

I offered a few facts on another topic the Sox forum that Keyser didn't like...like this entire Danks thing when I showed him that Law and Goldstein and Callis had Danks as a Top 10 he just stopped responding.... we did the same on another topic and he did the same just stopped after the facts got in the way of his opinion.

as for the Dwarf.thing...Keyser thinks I am a troll and as we all know Trolls and Dwarves are bitter enemies... I have nothing against him he started name calling and just like in "A Few Good Men" DWARF KEYSER can not handle the TRUTH..instead he just tucks his tail between his stubby dwarfish legs and runs away...

I will admit one thing Jordan Danks ain't no Ryan Flaherty...right DWARF

Chicago White Sox Top 12 Prospect Rankings
by Dave Gershman on Jan 23, 2012 11:26 AM PST in Prospect Perspective


Tier 1 (4 points): Major League Star -- Number One Starter
Tier 2 (3 points): Stand Out/Above Average Regular -- Number Two/Exceptional Three Starter
Tier 3 (2 points): Solid, Average, Every Day Regular -- Number Three/Solid Four Starter
Tier 4 (1 point): Bench/Below Average Regular -- Borderline Four/Number Five Starter/Relief Pitcher
Although the White Sox contain arguably the least amount of impact talent of the thirty organizations in baseball, a case can be made that system has improved since last year. In Nestor Molina and Addison Reed, the Sox have at least two viable candidates to impact the major league roster in 2012 and, if things go as expected, the Sox could net a few more impact prospects at the July 31st trading deadline. Before we jump to that conclusion, let's take a look at what the Sox already have.



The system is probably the worst in baseball, but as I said before, it isn't completely barren. There aren't any 1st tier prospects, but then again that could be said for many teams. Also, the system's best prospects hold little upside, and that's mostly because of the organization's unwillingness to branch away from college players in last year's draft. If I'm correct, the White Sox selected only college players with their first twenty-one selections last year. The White Sox should target high school kids in the upcoming draft, but with the guys they already have in the lower levels of the system their progression will be integral for the club's sake. With little depth and huge holes, the Sox system easily ranks as one of the worst in the game. We'll see how things work out once the season starts.

Chicago White Sox -- 22 points

Nestor Molina: RHP
Keenyn Walker: OF
