Two prospect reads worth perusing:
*2080 Baseball finally posted its White Sox organizational review (h/t PauliePaulie). The upshot is that Tommy John surgeries have compromised their pitching depth, and college-heavy drafts leave them short on up-the-middle talent. The biggest surprise is Luis Mieses, who ranks at No. 15.
*Baseball America updated its top 100 prospects list for May. While Eloy Jimenez, Michael Kopech, Dylan Cease and Nick Madrigal all held their places, more or less, Luis Robert experienced a big jump from No. 70 to No. 54.
