The White Sox' 1999 draft just keeps looking deeper and deeper in regards to pitching. It has already produced big leaguers in Matt Ginter, Danny Wright and Jon Rauch and delivered prospects Jason Stumm, Brian West, Dennis Ulacia, Corwin Malone, Matt Guerrier (traded to the Pirates for Damaso Marte) and Joe Valentine (dealt to the Athletics in the Keith Foulke-Billy Koch exchange). Sanders and fellow lefty Josh Stewart are the latest pitchers from the 1999 draft to open eyes, thanks to their performances in Double-A and the Arizona Fall League. Sanders made the most of his second season in Birmingham, joining Arnie Munoz to give the Barons two lefthanded bullpen weapons. He used a power slider and a 90-91 mph fastball to average nearly a strikeout per inning. He worked three perfect innings of relief in the 12-inning victory that wrapped up a Southern League title, then led the AFL in ERA. He'll move up to Triple-A in 2003 and could join the White Sox sooner than might be expected.
