2. #Twins take #White Sox RHP Terry Doyle. Strike-thrower, fits Twins mold.

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!..........who is Terry Doyle?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!..........who is Terry Doyle?

 

Pitcher who was just very good in the AFL for us.

f***ing Twins. Stop stealing our below average prospects!

But its OK, we protected f***ing Duente Heath. And not Doyle.

 

Everyone else can b**** about the return for Santos, but to me, THIS was a f***-up. Can someone, anyone, tell me why Duente Heath was worth a 40-man slot, while Terry Doyle was not?

Especially with the Sox sitting at 36 on the 40-man. I just don't get it.

Let me guess:

 

1) Sometime in the past year, Keith Law talked about how overrated Doyle is.

 

2) Sometime in the next couple days, Keith Law will talk about how awesome Doyle is and how dumb the Sox were to leave him unprotected.

Just 12 picks ... Terry Doyle is a classic #Twins guy, command and control guy who threw 200 innings this year including Arizona Fall League

 

Major League Phase over, Sox take no one, Jordan Danks and company do not get picked.

Let me guess:

 

1) Sometime in the past year, Keith Law talked about how overrated Doyle is.

 

2) Sometime in the next couple days, Keith Law will talk about how awesome Doyle is and how dumb the Sox were to leave him unprotected.

 

I don't think there's ever been a White Sox move Keith Law liked. He's already poo pooed the Santos - Molina trade. To hell with him.

Terry Doyle will throw 7 innings and hold the Sox to 1 run at least once in his career.

 

 

Best of luck to Doyle. It will be interesting to see if he can last the whole year on the big league roster.

Sox get $50K from the Twins, right?

 

If only Mark had waited one more day, the Sox could have improved their offer.

Major league results

I can't find anywhere that has the results of the minor league portion of the draft. I haven't seen any Sox players names mentioned on twitter though.

Never hurts to allow one of your rivals to take one of the few pitching prospects you have. Oh wait. Fail.

This is nonsense in a rebuilding mode and spots open on 40 man available to leave him out there to be picked #2 overall by the Twins shows me mangement just does not get it. Keeping Doyle allows Sox to let Danks or Floyd go and absorb the blow more.

Rudderless ship, drifting into the cellar gently.

So the Sox have no prospects in the minors, yet every time we lose one they are an All-Star waiting to happen. Got it.

He's referencing the fact that everyone (myself included) has been lamenting the status of our minor leagues as barren and disgraceful. Yet, in our barren, disgraceful farm system, Doyle isn't even in the top 10 on any list I've seen, so losing him should upset nobody.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't adding/removing people from the 40-man affect how much they get paid? If so, why would you use up a transaction on a guy who is waaaaay down your pecking order on the off chance that they might get drafted? If there is no way in which messing with the 40-man affects anything, then yes, it is really stupid to leave any roster spots open before the Rule V draft. There has to be some sort of consequence to adding people right before the Rule V and then dropping them from the 40-man immediately after, right?

 

I could be totally wrong on that. Either way, care little about the loss of some pitcher who could not even crack our terrible Top 10.

You are correct.

If there is an effect on their pay, it isn't enough to affect any decisions about adding them to the 40.

 

The main consequences of adding a player to the 40 is that you start their option years. Somebody added to the 40 right now can only play in the minors through 2014. Also, once you're added to the 40 you can't be removed without being placed on waivers, at which point any team can claim him. Then the claiming team only has to keep him on their 40 and not in the majors. By leaving him open to the Rule V draft, the team taking him has to keep him on the majors roster the entire season to keep him.

They still sent Doyle to the AFL, where he excelled. That is what made some, including myownself, to think that he was worth protecting.
