It's not much of a surprise, but Eloy Jimenez and Luis Robert are once again highly ranked prospects.
Two of the guys penciled into the White Sox outfield of the future both appeared in MLB Pipeline's list of the game's top 10 outfield prospects, with Jimenez at No. 2 and Robert at No. 8.
Jimenez and Robert join a few of their fellow White Sox farmhands who have shown up on MLB Pipeline's positional top-10 lists over the past couple weeks: Michael Kopech is the site's No. 3 right-handed pitching prospect, Zack Collins is the site's No. 9 catching prospect and Jake Burger is the site's No. 9 third base prospect.
The 21-year-old Jimenez came over in last summer's crosstown swap that sent Jose Quintana to the Cubs. Since joining the White Sox organization, Jimenez has mashed. He hit eight home runs in 29 games with Class A Winston-Salem after the trade and added three in 18 games more following his promotion to Double-A Birmingham. On the season — combined between Winston-Salem, Birmingham and 42 games with Class A Myrtle Beach while still with the Cubs — he slashed .312/.379/.568 with 19 home runs, 22 doubles and 65 RBIs.
The 20-year-old Robert also joined the White Sox organization during the 2017 season, signing in May. He's yet to play a game of minor league baseball in the United States, and his lone action with the White Sox came in 28 games in the Dominican Summer League. But he's getting rave reviews from everyone who sees him play, including manager Rick Renteria, and there's been talk that he could potentially start the season at Double-A Birmingham.
MLB Pipeline will unveil its updated and much-anticipated list of the top 100 prospects in baseball on Saturday, conveniently coming during SoxFest, where plenty of names on that list will be meeting White Sox fans.
