The first two are slight maybes, but I doubt it. Wouldn't be shocked 8f the Sox add no one, as we might not even have a Rule 5 draft anyway.

I haven't really seen that they have so at this point, I'm assuming it wouldn't be. I guess you still have to prep like it is going to happen and protect guys though just in case it does.

I guess you still have to prep like it is going to happen and protect guys though just in case it does.The Sox don’t have a ton of tough Rule 5 decisions because they have been so poor in the international arena. They don’t have a bunch of young guys running out of eligibility. I can imagine more of a crunch when some of their HS draftees like Boughton get to the bubble. High picks like Carlson, Fauske, Thome, and Prosek will obviously be protected unless they’re disasters, which unfortunately can happen.

He’s legit a guy who could get snagged if not protected. I’m not sure they have the 40 man room to do so, but they will be considering it. Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by Chicago White Sox
11 minutes ago11 min This whole process seems even more intriguing to me this year since those who are protected cannot play in the minors during a lockout, correct?
