Chicago White Sox Top 20 Prospects for 2011 by John Sickels on Jan 5, 2011 8:00 PM EST 1) Chris Sale, LHP, Grade A: I don't see how I can give him anything but a Grade A considering how his debut went. Starter or closer, either way he looks great to me. 2) Brent Morel, 3B, Grade B: Should be a solid regular, very good glove, bat will be enough, Joe Randa comps are common and accurate, in my view. 3) Dayan Viciedo, 1B, Grade B-: I respect the fact that he can hit decently with plate discipline this bad, but I expect that he will be streaky. 4) Addison Reed, RHP, Grade B-: I seem to like him more than other people do, but what's not to like? Good stuff, knows how to pitch, main question is long-term role. 5) Jared Mitchell, OF, Grade C+: This assumes he returns to full health. He didn't look right in the Arizona Fall League. If his speed (and confidence in his legs) don't fully return, it would be a great shame. 6) Jacob Pericka, RHP, Grade C+: Very live arm from 2010 draft, but rather raw, future role undefined. 7) Eduardo Escobar, SS, Grade C+: Great glove, but will he hit enough for it to be relevant? 8) Gregory Infante, RHP, Grade C+: Another hard-thrower who could fit nicely into bullpen. 9) Andre Rienzo, RHP, Grade C+: This guy is a huge sleeper. You won't see him on many other lists, but he has good stuff and good numbers. From Brazil. 10) Thomas Royse, RHP, Grade C+: Inning-eating ground ball specialist, possible number four starter eventually. 11) Tyler Saladino, SS, Grade C+: Infielder out of Oral Roberts in the 2010 draft, good bat, glove can possibly stick at shortstop. 12) Mike Blanke, C, Grade C+: Hit well in the Pioneer League with decent defense, like Saladino a sleeper from this year's draft to watch. 13) Santos Rodriguez, LHP, Grade C+: Borderline C, Power lefty arm is rare, needs to cut walks. 14) Brandon Short, OF, Grade C: Interesting bat, but strike zone judgment was weak in the Carolina League and Double-A transition could be difficult. 15) Trayce Thompson, OF, Grade C: Would rank higher on tools alone, but is approach needs a lot of work. 16) Anthony Carter, RHP, Grade C: Another potentially good relief arm. 17) Jordan Danks, OF, Grade C: Good glove, but hope for his bat is fading. 18) Tyler Flowers, C, Grade C: Stock has dropped massively, but this may be a "buy low" case where he ends up midway between '09 and '10 eventually. 19) Charles Leesman, LHP, Grade C: Erratic lefty has a good fastball and slider combo, but all over the map last year in performance. 20) Josh Phegley, C, Grade C: Weird medical condition, strike zone issues, and shaky defense have kept him from living up to college production. OTHERS OF NOTE: Spencer Arroyo, LHP; Kyle Bellamy, RHP; Ryan Buch, RHP; Justin Collop, RHP; Terry Doyle, RHP; Miguel Gonzalez, C; Nevin Griffith, RHP; Deunte Heath, RHP, Matt Heidenreich, RHP; Kevin Moran, RHP; Rangel Ravelo, RHP; Dan Remenowsky, RHP; Charlie Shirek, RHP; Andy Wilkins, 1B. This system is not in good condition. Chris Sale is excellent and Brent Morel is solid and I like Addison Reed, but after that you have nothing but questions. Can Viciedo develop even adequate plate discipline? Where does he fit on the roster? You have the makings of a nice relief corps but you need some starting pitchers, too. There are some intriguing tools guys but most of them have flawed approaches. No one seems to know if Mitchell will ever be the same after his ankle injury. --
