Late Monday night, after a 4-1 loss to the Twins, the White Sox announced two trades that effectively raised the white flag from the south side of Chicago.
Or did it?

Prospect Rankings: Statistics

(I originally posted this over at TwinkieTown, but I thought you guys would be full of insight and advice as well.)
When it comes to ranking prospects, I think actual on-field results top all and deserve most recognition/value.
Here is an attempt to plug actual statistical results into a "Master Prospect Ranking" formula that I will use in a few months to rank the top prospects in the Twins' system.
(Remember - this is just the statistical portion. I will add other components as time goes on.) After the jump I'll explain my thoughts...

Prospect Ranking: Statistics

A while ago, I asked you for idea on how to best rank and evaluate prospects. There were many great ideas, but I think actual on-field results top them all and deserve most recognition/value.
Here is an attempt to plug actual statistical results into a "Master Prospect Ranking" formula that I will use in a few months to rank the top prospects in the Twins' system.

Vick to Eagles, Two-Year Deal

Well, there goes that rumor. Can't say I'm sorry to see it go.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4397938
Courtesy Mr. Mort, of ESPN: Vick agrees to two-year deal with Eagles.
Don't really know how Vick fits into Philly, besides as a publicity stunt or a Wildcat proponent. Should be interesting, to say the least. Why do we need 75 words per Fanpost? Should this have been a Fanshot?

Vikings Sign RB Antone Smith

According to a Tweet from @VikingsFootball, a new name has been added to the roster: rookie runningback Antone Smith.
Smith signed with the Detroit Lions on May 8 as an undrafted free agent but was cut on July 27. He had a great high-school career, being named the top runningback recruit in the nation as well as being named a Parada All-American, Palm Beach County Player of the Y ear, Old Spice National Player of the Year, and MVP of both the Nike Camp and the CalFlorida Bowl.
Clearly, Smith has an impressive resume. And an incredibly fast 40 time of 4.25.
He could be a very nice third RB option and special teams player thanks to his great speed.

How to Best Evaluate Minor-League Prospects

This isn't intended to be a shameless self-plug, but some of you may have seen the Top 15 Prospects list I compiled roughly a year ago at my site, TwinsFix.com. I largely stayed away from statistics and past performance and took a basic mathimatical approach, assigning values based on two factors: ceiling and chance of making the majors.
I made many mistakes in that ranking, and I intend to have you help me iron them out. :-)

Harvin Impressing at OTA's
"It feels great," Harvin said. "There’s no better experience than what I’m going through right now. I’m glad to get the combine and all the stuff over with and finally lace it back up and get on the football field. It’s a wonderful feeling. …
"I can’t tell you where I’ll end up. We’re kind of doing a little bit of both, a little bit of plays running out of the backfield and some slot. They’re just trying to get me used to all the positions and I guess toward the end we’ll figure out what I’ll play."

Déjà Vu All Over Again?

No, I am not going to write about Brett Fav-ruh. The mere mention of his name in my house has become a sin. Instead of discussing "You-Know-Who" I will take a brief delve back into the history of our Minnesota Vikings.
The year? 1993. The current quarterback? Sean Salisbury. The veteran new-comer? Jim McMahon.

And it Begins...
ESPN is reporting that our very own Brad Childress will sit down with the "great" Brett Favre later this week to discuss playing for the Vikings.
Let the Second Great Drama begin...
