February 25, 200917 yr He's listed as being on the Chinese Taipei WBC roster and there's no organization listed next to his name. Maybe this was already covered but I missed it. Here's the link: http://web.worldbaseballclassic.com/roster...amp;season=2009 He's one of eight Lins on the team. For those of you keeping score at home, that is 8 Lins, 2 Chengs, 2 Kaos, 3 Kuos, a Wang, a Tang, a Chan, and a Pan. No Dong though, he plays for China alongside Yang Yang.

Lots of players still have no team listed at this time of year, until April when the season starts. I wouldn't read into it. But, Lin has now spent 2 years in the Rookie leagues (Bristol, GF), doesn't have the velocity he was reported to have, and his numbers are good but not great. So its not outside the realm of possibility. Still though, he's only 22 and they spent 300k on him. I'd guess he starts the year in Low A, with Kanny.
March 10, 200917 yr The Sox released him in late October. I didn't notice it when it happened. Just found it by looking through minor league transactions from late fall. Edited March 10, 200917 yr by scenario
