AAA Charlotte Knights

The White Sox have built a system that is shallow, but has every elite players, and they have sent many of those elite players to AAA Charlotte.

The Knights rotation will be keyed by Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez, and Carson Fulmer with 2016 pick Zack Burdi in the bullpen.

Their lineup will feature top prospect Yoan Moncada along with outfielder Adam Engel, one of the few holdover prospects from the system prior to the offseason trades.

What will be very interesting is that the White Sox squad in Birmingham will also see many of their top prospects as well, with Michael Kopech, Spencer Adams, Jordan Stephens, and Trey Michalczewski there to open the season.

Guys like Zack Collins and Alex Call will open in high-A, but they have a chance to find their way to AA by the end of the season. A guy like Luis Alexander Basabe will likely spend the whole season at high-A.
