This isnt an issue I have seen since I have been following the Sox closely. Not sure if it has happened to the Sox ever to this extent. The Sox have a lot of prospects. They're won't be able to protect all these guys from the rule 5 draft.
I haven't been able to find any list that shows Rule 5 eligible players for next season. Would be interesting to see how the white sox are looking. Will they package some of the lower end, Ryan Cordell-esque prospects in deals for prospects with less minor league service time?
