It only goes from 50-21 right now, it'll be fully up there by Friday.
So far the only White Sox prospect to crack the list is Gio (surprise, surprise) at 24.
I'll update this if any of our other "prospects" get in, but at this point I doubt anymore get in.
Gio's write up:
The lefty had a very successful year in the White Sox organization, leading the Minor Leagues in strikeouts while keeping Southern League hitters scratching their heads all season long. Gonzalez can throw three pitches for strikes, with a pretty good fastball, one of the best curveballs in the Minors and a pretty good changeup. There's been some concern about his durability because of his size, but he's reached 150 innings in each of the past two seasons, answering most of those questions.
It's clear Gonzalez, at the very least, is ready to move up after two seasons at the Double-A level. That might mean a year of Triple-A at age 22, which certainly wouldn't hurt. But if someone in Chicago's rotation should falter in 2008, Gonzalez should be more than ready to step in.
