SB Nation's Thoughts on the White Sox Farm System

[WhiteSox5187]

They liked the 2012 draft and think that Hahn could represent some positive change but they blast Kenny Williams' last few years of the draft.

It looks like the love affair for all or nothing hitters continues.

Doesn't the law of averages say we'll eventually get an "all" instead of only "nothings?"

This is a Sickels list. SB Nation is just the website and the community at large.

This is the only one I put much stock into. I think most of the other top 10's and top 20's that will come out later are sub-par.

I was happy to see Eric Grabe listed in one of his iterations...I think the top 38 that came out on 12/25...

That's a pretty fair assessment, but I wouldn't sell Mitchell short yet - let's see if he can bounce back this year.

The way we draft and sign, it's more along the lines of what we get rather than a plan to get that kind of hitter.

Maybe we should bring in a system-wide minor league hitting coach that solely deals with plate patience and reducing strikeouts.
