The Book on Jack Egbert
Prospect Info
Jack Egbert
Born 5/12/1983
RHP, CHW
A 13th-round pick way back in the 2004 draft, Egbert has made a slow but steady climb through the Sox system. While he's never been a white-hot prospect, he does project as a solid back-of-rotation pitcher in the next few years.
Though helped by a pitchers park (a luxury he won't have if he reaches Chicago), the finesse-righthander posted impressive numbers: over 28 AA Birmingham starts, Egbert went 12-8 with a 3.07 ERA, showing off a K:BB rate near four.
Egbert struggled mightily at AAA Charlotte in 2009, which makes it hard to justify his brief promotion to Chicago, no matter how depleted the aging big-league staff was. He gave up eight runs in two innings of work before the White Sox decided he'd been sufficiently humbled enough. He'll be back in the minors for 2010.
