The Chicago White Sox boast one of the better farm systems in the game. This makes it easy to overlook those under the radar prospects that could make an impact in the coming years.
As far as rebuilds go, the Chicago White Sox would appear to be making all the right moves. With one of the better minor league systems in the game, boasting the likes of Eloy Jimenez, Luis Robert, and Dylan Cease. Michael Kopech will still be on that list, although he will miss the 2019 campaign due to Tommy John surgery. The future promises to be bright for the White Sox.
Nonetheless, not every top prospect finds their way to stardom. Just take Lucas Giolito, who after showing promise in a 43.1 inning stint for Chicago last season, struggled all year in 2018. While there is still time for players like Giolito to find their way, it is a reminder that those top prospects do not always turn out as hoped.
Likewise, there are those under the radar prospects that come along and prove to be valuable to a team’s future. These players may not appear in the top prospect lists during the season, but their contributions cannot be overlooked. It is certainly possible that some of these unheralded players find a way to reach the major league level, impacting the White Sox future.
Let us take a look around the Chicago White Sox farm system, and look at some of these under the radar prospects.
