September 22, 200916 yr QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Sep 22, 2009 -> 07:54 AM) Fernando Hernandez is the one I'm semi-certain will be a FA. David Cook was already one last year I believe, so he'd be as well, unless he signed a multi-year minor league deal. I'm guessing Wassermann probably as well.
September 22, 200916 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 22, 2009 -> 08:26 AM) I think it comes after being a six year minor leaguer, correct? I think its more complicated - I think there is an age factor there too, but I don't know what it is. Guys in the Sox system with 6 minor league seasons in, that I can find... Cole Armstrong Josh Kroeger Andy Cannizaro Donny Lucy David Cook Wes Whisler Carlos Torres Lucas Harrell*** (due to missing time to injury, I am not sure he falls in here) Ehren Wassermann Fernando Hernandez So those would be the ones we need to fish or cut bait on.
September 22, 200916 yr I also believe it has something to do with being on the 40-man roster as well. Once you are on the 40-man, you will remain in team control for a while.
September 25, 200916 yr The Mets claim Jack Egbert off waivers. http://twitter.com/NYPost_Mets/status/4376521687
September 30, 200916 yr I've been saying this ever since I saw him in the minors. C.J. Retherford is somethin' special.
October 6, 200916 yr Somewhat old news, but MLB is making a junior AFL type league. Sounds like it will happen in 2010 if they can finalize the details in time. This year 8 teams have put together an informal version, the White Sox are one. Here is a video explaining the situation.

October 6, 200916 yr QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 10:29 AM) None are mentioned. Trayce Thompson and Josh Phegley are in it.
October 7, 200916 yr I stumbled upon an old BA article (well a month old) for subscribers talking about a virtual AA championship between the Barons and the Akron Aeros. Those with a subscription can check it out here. Basically, the Barons media relations guy was tracking best records in the minors and realized it was the Barons and Akros for a while as the top 2. Through whatifsports.com they had a virtual best of 7 series. The rosters were any player other than rehabs that played for the team at any part of the season. If you search barons on whatifsports.com you will find the box score and PBP for the whole series. It's a neat idea. For a spoiler, the Barons win in 7 and Dan Hudson takes a no-hitter into the 9th, losing it on a groundball with one out.
October 8, 200916 yr QUOTE (DirtySox @ Oct 6, 2009 -> 01:09 PM) Trayce Thompson and Josh Phegley are in it. Nice. Do you have the full list?
October 12, 200916 yr From Baseball America, does this mean that Harrell, Link, Marquez, Santeliz, Armstrong and Viciedo cannot be exposed to the Rule V draft? Not sure, especially with Viciedo, but he might be in a different circumstance. Chicago White Sox Signed: RHP Jacob Marceaux (re-signed), LHP Wander Perez (re-signed) Granted free agency: 1B Wilson Betemit Recalled: RHP Lucas Harrell, RHP Jon Link, RHP Jeff Marquez, RHP Clevelan Santeliz, C Cole Armstrong, 3B Dayan Viciedo Outrighted to Triple-A and removed from 40-man: OF Dewayne Wise

Being on the 40 protects players from the Rule-5.
December 1, 200916 yr A note to all your FS posters, who have AAP's - the offseason is a good time to update your AAP threads. A lot of them are pretty stale in there, which is a shame, because we link to those threads from futuresox.com and all over SoxTalk - let's keep this area up to date!
December 3, 200916 yr http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/artic...sp&c_id=cws Not sure about the headline saying Thompson is on the fast track to the majors, but whatever.
December 22, 200916 yr David Cook has signed with the Astros, Lance Broadway has signed with the Blue Jays.
December 22, 200916 yr QUOTE (JPN366 @ Dec 22, 2009 -> 02:57 PM) David Cook has signed with the Astros, Lance Broadway has signed with the Blue Jays. Glad to see Cook go somewhere else, where he might get a shot.
December 22, 200916 yr QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 22, 2009 -> 03:09 PM) Glad to see Cook go somewhere else, where he might get a shot. Houston may be a better spot than St. Louis. Hopefully he'll see most of his time in Round Rock, if not Houston.
December 22, 200916 yr Author QUOTE (JPN366 @ Dec 22, 2009 -> 02:57 PM) David Cook has signed with the Astros, Lance Broadway has signed with the Blue Jays. The way the Jays go through relievers, Broadway might see some innings in Toronto.
December 27, 200916 yr Yes, I agree, Broadway could see some major league time last year. He was traded by the Sox when he was on the roster and went to Mets Triple AAA, glad he's gone.

I'm not too sure about Thompson getting fast tracked to the majors. I watched him the last couple weeks in Great Falls this year and he didn't look very settled in the outfield and pretty timid at the plate. Granted, he was fresh out of high school and probably still wide eyed after only a month in the minors. Rumors I heard around Great Falls at the end of the season was that he was probably coming back to Great Falls to be the starting center fielder next year. That would be a good move for him, get him settled into one location for a couple months and see how he does, heck he's only 19, he'll be fun to watch next year.
