Minor league prospect experts: is my assessment of Rodon being the best prospect today for either Chicago team preposterous?

Yes, because it cant be an uncomfortable truth when Bryant is all but assured of a top 5 ranking.


If Rodon is better than Bryant than he's better than at least 25 other team's best prospects

There's a lot going on there but pretty obvious to see who is far superior.

It's preposterous because you didn't say he's the best prospect on the planet.

Yes. He's not even the best pitcher drafted. That pick would be Jake Stinnett.

At least you got his name right this time.


the misspelling was intentional to highlight my lack of care of the MLB draft and prospect watching...stud and world series were legit

OK, so I was ever so slightly off in my assessment with Rodon being ranked 18 before ever playing a game of professional baseball to Bryant's 7 according to bleacherreport. I know you will publicly claim victory but privately know that was much closer than you thought.

I will be interested to see what a more reputable outlet has to say on the subject.

Keith Law said he will be between 4-8 on his next prospect list.

I think Rodon is an awesome prospect. He might be ranked higher than Bryant on some lists. Good pick for the Sox.

Its not the best, but Sox fans were being realistic with that. 99 losses to .500 is a pretty good improvement.

When Theo took over it was, "hope to contend in 2014 or 2015." I'm not sure expectations can get any lower that wasting (at least) two full seasons.


Get used to expectations for the Sox mirroring this.....at least 2 seasons-if they are getting the right players in trades and don't fuck them up.
