Background: Lundquist is somewhat on the old side to be considered a prospect, but he essentially missed the 1996-97 seasons because of elbow surgery. He cruised through three levels of the White Sox system this year and earned a place on the 40-man roster. Strengths: With righthander Lorenzo Barcelo injured all season and his future uncertain, the White Sox feel that Lundquist has the top velocity among their prospects. He clocks in between 94-96 mph. He also significantly improved his slider after gaining confidence that his elbow was sound. Weaknesses: With only 15 Triple-A innings and a major surgery under his belt, Lundquist's time is now. He must fit into the closer/setup role because of his two-pitch arsenal, but the White Sox have confidence in has abilities. The Future: The White Sox will give Lundquist a good shot at making the big league team in 1999, most likely as a bridge to closers Bobby Howry and Bill Simas.
