It would be nice to name some players.

forget names... biggest mistake we all do is look at names... names and talent don't mean as much as we think...

Look at the teams, look at whether any GOOD offenses have major holes in their lineup... and then check if those teams have anyone coming up at those positions...

Yoan Moncada to me is the best... The white sox actually have a pretty decent lineup, their second baseman sucks, and they are a bad enough team to give a young player a long leash...

Well last year I went after Story and that worked out well until he got hurt. I'll look up the stud prospects soon I guess, I'm still looking at these game logs for the pitchers and matching up their pitch types against teams.

not scared... if he does bust it would be because he swings and misses too much.... what can he do to me?? i might be a big target, but i am sure he will miss me too!!

He needs to be able to hit the breaking stuff. Until then nope.

I like Brinson and Bellinger for this year. Maybe Senzel keeps ripping it up and get a late call up.

not just yet

White Sox optioned 2B Yoan Moncada to Triple-A Charlotte.

Moncada had an impressive first spring training with the White Sox, batting .317/.391/.683 with three home runs over 41 at-bats. Chicago has an opening at second base that Moncada will fill eventually, but he could use a little more seasoning and the White Sox also want to keep him in the minors for a while for service time reasons.

This was expected... I don't expect him up until June at the earliest.

I can't think of any hitters that will be impact rookies in April.

Is Peter O'Brien still considered a rookie? Even he, I'm not so sure.
Mitch Haniger?

Thin pickins

well yeah, Benintendi is definitely the front man.
Albies probably has a Brandon Phillips type pain in the ass this year.
Swanson is probably not fantasy worthy in 12 teams or less, imo.

yeah... forgot about Moss
Haniger (and O'Brien) are old farts... Mitch looks like a producer though.
