April 15, 201115 yr QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 15, 2011 -> 02:02 AM) It feels like Silverio has been with this organization for like 6 years. The crazy part is that he is turning 20 in three days. He is still really young.

April 15, 201115 yr Author QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 15, 2011 -> 01:19 PM) Will he be to Rule 5 stage after this year? Wow I never thought about that. He should have another year still because he was signed before he was 18, giving the Sox 5 years of 'evaluation time.' I'm fairly sure he's only on year 4 because the DSL doesn't count, but I'm gonna have to follow up on this. That said, talent or otherwise, I can't imagine a team wanting to hold him on a 25-man roster next year. With the start he's off to now, I could see him landing on the 40-man roster before 2013. At that point he could have AA time or be heading into a AA season so the Sox would probably want to protect him.

If the kid has a big enough year at his age, could someone take a chance on him? Could he force to put him on the 40 with a big enough season? But if he has another year, that is all for naught.
