John Sickels produced his Top Twenty White Sox prospect list and it’s sad to say that the system is pretty thin right now.  Their top guy was given a B+ and you get into the C+’s pretty quickly.  Topping the list is Nestor Molina who came over from the Blue Jays.  The big question here is whether he’s headed to the pen or if he might stick in the rotation.

Number two is Addison Reed, another right handed pitcher.  Sickels call him the top closer prospect in baseball.    This hard thrower is the White Sox closer of the future and he should be fun to watch.  Round out the top five are Tyler Saladino (SS), Trayce Thompson (OF) and Hector Santiago (LHP).    Santiago is the most major league ready (he’s already made his debut).
