It's time to vote for our annual SoxProspects All-Stars! Please place your vote for the player that you feel had the best season in 2015. Please do not vote based on who you think is the best prospect or who you think may perform better in the future, and please only consider minor league performance. Note that positional eligibility was determined by the SoxProspects Staff, primarily based on the number of games played per position. If there is a player you wanted to vote for but who is not listed, it's likely that they were nominated at a different position.

He's not a bad defender at third though. Plus arm and probably about average otherwise, maybe a slight tick below with the projection to become at least average.

That's the biggest development for him this season, imo. We knew he could hit, but between his defense looking good and his body looking much improved, it's looking much more likely he can stay there, at least for the start of his career.

"We really don't need the whole commercial break/warm-up routine every time a new reliever comes into the game. It certainly made sense in 1884 when they only switched pitchers when the starter was attacked by pickaxe or caught consumption, and no reliever was warming up because he was busy gambling and drinking." - JD

I still think I'm going to wake up and say "I shouldn't listen to the podcast before bed, I dreamed the Sox signed a guy from Curaçao named Charlie Zink." - KOC

Ah. 10-4. Makes much more sense. Time for some coffee...

Yeah, had Witte stayed healthy the whole year, he may have given Devers a run for his money.
