Two of the White Sox’s three highest affiliates finished as runners-up in their playoffs. Triple-A Charlotte went to the International League finals, featuring a lineup that included three of the system’s best position players in outfielders Jared Mitchell and Trayce Thompson and shortstop Carlos Sanchez. High Class A Winston-Salem had the Carolina League’s best regular-season record at 87-51 and made its playoff run with Chicago’s top picks in the last two drafts (Hawkins and outfielder Keenyn Walker) and two of its best pitching prospects (Erik Johnson and Scott Snodgress).
