having solid seasons, Lopez and Collins are holding their own, and Giolito is struggling.

White Sox general manager Rick Hahn is forming opinions, but he won’t make hard judgments this early in the season.

“As a group I think they’re progressing roughly as we projected,” Hahn said. “Some are probably exceeding expectations, some are coming a little more quickly than projected, some are about on the pace we expected, and a few are not quite playing to the level you anticipated.

“When you have a large number of players, that’s what’s going to happen.”

The Sox have the No. 11 overall pick in next month’s amateur draft, and Hahn also is expected to make more veteran-for-prospect moves at or before the July 31 nonwaiver trade deadline.

“Our goal is to continue to add a significant cluster of players so that you have those groups that overachieve and force the issue and get here and you have guys that progress on a normal pace and as a result you have multiple options as you move forward,” Hahn said.

Moncada should be with the White Sox at some point in July, and Lopez has the look of a September call-up.

Giolito has a lot of upside, but the big right-hander is 0-5 with a 7.31 ERA in 6 starts at Triple-A.

“We have talked before about the fact that a player struggling in the minors is part of their development,” Hahn said.

“So even the guys who might not be quite on the pace that we originally anticipated, or they individually might have hoped for, there is a benefit for them in learning how to deal with adversity at the minor-league level when the spotlights aren’t quite as bright as they are in the big leagues.

“Ultimately, when these players do get to Chicago they are going to encounter some difficulty, that’s the nature of the game.

“To be able to hearken back to those struggles in the minors and the way they pulled themselves out of it is going to serve them well in the big leagues.”
