Guest: Eric Longenhagen, FanGraphsRundown[Intro] Quick recap of the Chicago White Sox winning their first road game of the season and how the minor league affiliates are faring.[3:21] FanGraphs lead prospect writer Eric Longenhagen joins the show, as well as fellow FanGraphs contributor, James Fegan. Start the conversation by addressing the farm system's health[8:34] With David Keller taking over it feels like the White Sox international efforts are rebooting. How long does it take to restart international efforts and will that impact future farm system rankings for the White Sox?[16:53] Noah Schultz is the White Sox #1 prospect. While there's plenty to like from Schultz, he does need to work on his fastballs. [22:57] Longenhagen shares his thoughts comparing and contrasting Schultz and fellow southpaw, Hagen Smith[31:12] Kyle Teel is the White Sox top-ranked position player prospect. Longenhagen shares why Teel has a unique set of skills that could make him a fixture for the White Sox.[37:36] While Colson Montgomery has been hitting better of late, he's still struggling when looking at all 2025 results. Longenhagen argues the slump has started way before this year, and takes a bit of the blame of overhyping Montgomery.[45:51] Which bats in the White Sox farm system can develop into an impact player?[52:23] Did the White Sox find a steal in Rule 5 pick, Shane Smith?[55:38] Who are Longenhagen and Fegan's most intriguing prospects outside of the Top 10

On the latest episode of North Shore Nine, we welcomed Fangraphs' Eric Longenhagen to discuss the Pirates' farm system and the prospects to watch in 2025. We covered Bubba Chandler, whose fastball and improving changeup have him tracking as a mid-rotation starter. Konnor Griffin's exclusion from Longenhagen's initial Top 100 was another key topic, but a swing adjustment has him trending upward. Braxton Ashcraft and Thomas Harrington were compared, with Ashcraft making the Top 100 thanks to his electric stuff, despite durability concerns. Other players discussed included Termarr Johnson, who faces a key season in Double-A, and Jhonny Severino, a high-ceiling prospect with raw power. Esmerlyn Valdez, one of Longenhagen's “Picks to Click,” and Anthony Solometo's outlook were also highlighted. The Spring Breakout Game was a major talking point, with prospects like David Matoma, Wyatt Sanford, and Tony Blanco Jr. expected to take the field. Longenhagen shared insights on what makes these players stand out and what to watch for in 2025.
