Default 2012 Minor League Catch-All
New year, new thread.

This is an all-purpose thread for minor league notes that don't really need their own thread. Please use this thread as such. Transactions, injuries, scouting blurbs, hot streaks, slumps, etc are all fair game.

Sickels has his farm system rankings up. First time he's done it. Guess who's last?

I trust Sickels much more than the other sites, can't say I'm surprised to see us at the bottom of the heap. He has a much more professional approach in his write ups unlike the goofs at BP and BA.

Sickels is great. Baseball America I can go either way on, but Phil Rogers shouldn't be in charge of White Sox prospects lists. BP is largely Kevin Goldstein who I'm a fan of, but he's more statistically inclined and is a big tools guy with his prospects. It's just important to know the thought processes/tendencies of most of the guys. I generally enjoy having the different points of view from each place.

Sox also signed OF Delwyn Young and LHP Eric Slults to minor league deals today. Both have some major league experience.

Olsen didn't pitch last year. He had shoulder problems and #Pirates released him in May. He's 37-49, 4.85 in the big leagues.

He's a local boy. From Crystal Lake.

I like the signing. Low risk, and some insurance in case of injury. I would assume he'll compete for the second lefty out of the pen, even though he has been used pretty exclusively as a starter in the past.

He didn't receive an invite to big league camp for spring training.

MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo has his Top 100 Prospect List out.

http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/prospects/watch/y2012/

White Sox have 1 prospect on it. Coming in at the last spot, #100, Addison Reed.
