According to Baseball America, the Sox have 17 players who were in the system in 2010 who are now minor league free agents:
RHP: Greg Aquino (AAA), Ryan Braun (AAA), Charlis Burdie (Hi A), Mariano Chevalier (DSL), Clevelan Santeliz (AAA), Matt Zaleski (AAA)
LHP: Randy Williams (AAA)
C: Cole Armstrong (AA), Adam Ricks (AAA)
1B: Ian Gac (Lo A)
2B: Fernando Cortez (AAA)
SS: Luis Rodriguez (AAA)
OF: Buck Coats (AAA), Josh Kroeger (AAA), Miguel Negron (AA), Jeremy Reed (AAA), Salvador Sanchez (AA)
Anyone want to take guesses on which ones the Sox will try to sign?
Also, what are the rules here? Do they have to be on the 40-man?
Assuming they don't have to be on the 40 man roster, I bolded the names I think are likely to come back.
Negron is being converted into a lefty pitcher, he'll be back. Rodriguez will probably be resigned and given a NRI, Gac would be good for W-S.
