Where does the White Sox farm system rank? Anyone have the last 5 years or so to show how it's progressing?

I don't waste my time with the Cubs.

And over the last 5 years the farm system has gotten more talented in spite of Kenny/Hahn's trade frenzies, and the Sox aren't even reaping any benefits (yet) from the post-Wilder fiasco international market.

The Sox have been drafting very well the last few years.

I can confirm this.

One of the more impressive organization turnarounds in baseball. Though, in reality, it's just a function of losing and high draft picks just like all the other teams that did that that were in the playoffs this year.

2016= not ranked but the Matt Eddy interview has them in the bottom third (21-30)
2015= 20
2014= 22
2013= 29
2012= 30
2011= 27

I don't waste my time with the Cubs.

While we can appreciate your new unbiased perspective.... I just have to say "WHO YOU CRAPPIN' "



if that's your idea of a turnaround you are still smoking the 2005 pipe.

Currently bottom 3rd, and closer the the middle tier than the "absolutely barrens" like San Diego and Detroit.

Kenny Williams (we know he is behind these trades) has traded nine top 30 talents the last two offseasons and the Sox graduated 3 top 30 guys last season. The only replenishment the system has seen in that time was from a comp pick gutted draft class that has already been partly dealt. So it's been a lot of attrition without much coming back for about a year and a half. About a 3rd of the would-be top 30 is gone, that's a lot to absorb.

If they hold on to all their picks for the 2016 draft and some guys further down the pole break out they'll climb to around 15. Of course if the Sox are any good next season Kenny will deal some of them at the deadline.
