AS GOOD

The Cubs point to the success of High Class A Daytona (which one its league) as a beacon for future Cubs success at the major league level. Winning is important.

But in the same regard, the White Sox Class AA team, Birmingham, won the Southern League. One would think that would infer that the White Sox prospect pipeline is moving along faster than the Cubs.

It appears that the White Sox have several interesting pitching prospects, and a possible replacement for Paul Konerko at first base.  The players to watch are SS Marcus Semien, first sackers Dan Black and Andy Wilkins and third baseman Cody Puckett. On the pitching side, three starters had good years: Spencer Arroyo, Scott Snodgrass and Stephen McCray.

Like all teams, there are disappointments in OF Brandon Jacobs, Trayce Thompson and Jared Mitchell who were projected to have breakthrough seasons.
