Last season, the Charlotte Knights (AAA) had all the attention from Chicago White Sox fans, maybe even more than the major league team. The team broke camp with top prospects Yoan Moncada, Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez, Carson Fulmer and Zack Burdi. Besides Burdi, who is still recovering from Tommy John surgery, the rest are in the majors.
The last top prospect standing in Charlotte is Michael Kopech, who had short but successful stint in AAA to end last season. But do not fret, by August the team will be stacked again with the next wave of top prospects from Birmingham and Winston-Salem.
