Top 3 Prospects
1. Matt Davidson, 3B
280/350/481
-Davidson is a great 3B prospect and the best of this limited system the White Sox have. The 22 year old has good potential and good power, as he banged in 17 home runs in 443 ABs last year. He gets the third strike often a bit and can get in slumps, but can find ways to get on base besides hitting and is proving he isn't just a power hitter. Davidson could be a cornerstone at 3B for this team, or he simply could be a bench warmer.
2. Micah Johnson
312/373/451
The 23 year old 2nd basemen had good numbers while getting shuffled around last year. 100 runs scored and almost 25 doubles. But it's not his above average hitting that makes this kid good. It's his speed. This guy could outrun a 95 MPH fastball from the pitchers mound. He stole 84 bases last year. He doesn't have the best glove, but his speed and above average hitting makes him an intriguing player.
3. Tim Anderson
277/348/363
Anderson is a SS prospect, and if you haven't realized the Sox farm system is all about the infield. Anderson is an average hitting SS and put up average numbers last season. Like 2nd base prospect Johnson, Anderson has some speed himself. In 74 hits he got an extra base from his feet 24 times and only got caught trying to do so 4 times. Anderson's potential shows him likely being a below average MLB player, but with his average hitting and good speed, at 20, he could develop into a starter and future replacement for Alexi Ramriez.
White Sox Free Agency:
The Sox didn't have to big of a free agency, but got some key players that could help make a run.
Jose Abreu is a power hitting 27 year old Cuban who plays 1B. The Sox are hoping he can provide power and take over when Paul Konerko hangs up. Analysts are guessing for Abreu to have numbers such as .270 and 25-30 home runs on the year, which would be a good plus for the Sox.
Other players added include CFer Adam Eaton, the speedster has the potential to be an above average leadoff hitter. Top prospect Matt Davidson is another member added to the roster, hoping to soon take hold of the 3B position.
