Former shortstop Sergio Santos has a fastball averaging in the upper 90’s, I believe, despite getting smacked around he could have value.

David Holmberg and Kyle Bellamy are solid sleepers from this year’s draft.

Got to see a lot of these teams this year - even a good deal of batting practice. Joe McEwing and Ernie Young have bright futures. They work their players hard and usefully in practice. I saw very little wasted time in BP. So don’t be surprised if the White Sox produce some unexpected talent in the coming years. This type of coaching pays off. I’m not a Sox fan, but I really have been impressed with their minor league system of coaches. Wish the Cardinals would pay attention to this.

Jordan Danks - saw him just a little this year, but a great athlete.

Brent Morel - will provide solid time at third or maybe first for some team. Good hitter, runner, fielder, arm, - very solid, knows the game well - he may not stay in the Chisox system but he’ll be a solid contributor for someone at the major league level

Dan Hudson - one of the best pitchers I saw all year - I saw him pitch in the SAL and Carolina Lgs. - great movement, knew when to throw the right pitches and set up hitters, very poised - just a solid pitcher

Jared Mitchell - of course he’ll make the list, but I never got to see him play because of injuries. Talked to him some - good kid, very excited to be playing baseball.

Josh Phegley - looked good behind the plate and handled young pitchers well - showed some power - will be interesting to see him play all season

Justin Greene - looked good in Kannapolis - great speed, good bat, good fielder - didn’t look good at all in Winston - good OF play, but looked lost at the plate.

Jon Gilmore may show up on some lists, but I don’t see it. I was actually surprised when I looked at his numbers at the plate - I didn’t think he hit as well as he ended up.

Jim Gallgher - he may never get a shot at the majors, but he has nice hands and is an excellent fielder at first - probably won’t have the bat to make it - but he’s one of these that might surprise if he gets the right coaching. honorable mention maybe

Dale Mollenhauer - see above. But Dale has a pretty good bat. He reminded me a lot of McEwing when he was a player (I saw McEwing play in Memphis) - he hustled and played the game right. Dale really slumped down the stretch though - I think the rigors of the season got to him. I think he could be a sleeper though. Not sure I’d put him in the top 20, but he’s one of these guys that could have a major league career as a utility guy.

workhorse pitchers - Johnnie Lowe, Anthony Carter, Charlie Shriek, Charlie Leesman and Justin Edwards - these guys gave a good outing evertime they pitched - someone could materialize into a decent major league career here.

Nate Jones - good stuff, but a bit of a head case. A few of the Chisox scouts I talked to liked him but said the same thing. Just someone to keep an eye on.
