Later this month, the White Sox will need to set a final 40-man roster prior to the Rule 5 Draft, and there are quite a few prospects that need protection. Not all of them will fit. James explores all the eligible players and what might happen this month in order the game of roster roulette.

Of course the moment an article on the 40 man roster gets published, the Sox add another name from outside of the organization, lol.

Yeah I'd quote the text I got from the author, but this is a family site, haha.

All I can take from it is that Rick Hahn has a sense of humor.

Back to the  original topic, I am going to read into September moves and non-moves and say this.

1. Charlie Tilson gets whacked from the 40

2. Adams and Stephens do not get added to the 40 and do not get picked in the Rule 5.

3. It would not shock me to see Carson Fulmer DFA'd.

Lord I hope someone gets fired over him, whether it was the pick originally, the scouting, the development, how he was moved around, that is such an organizational debacle, but yeah dropping from the 40 man seems like the right move after his 2nd half. Somewhere in there this org made a mistake worth >>$10 million.

Yah, because no other organizations ever see back end top 10 picks fizzle out.

Matt finished editing my work and the trade broke. I checked our writers thread and immediately said "SON OF A b****". It's fine though. It should be updated with the recent info now.
