August 4, 201411 yr I've been reading that the Astros are going to have some tough decisions on who to protect on their 40 man roster and I was wondering who is eligible from the Sox that needs to get protected and put on the 40 man roster. If you guys can help out that would be great.
August 5, 201411 yr QUOTE (oldsox @ Aug 4, 2014 -> 07:52 PM) Wilkins, for openers. Trayce Thompson I think, right?
August 5, 201411 yr QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Aug 4, 2014 -> 07:12 PM) Trayce Thompson I think, right? Thompson is already on the 40 man. The guys I have are Wilkins, Kevan Smith, Ravelo, Saladino, Snodgrass, Bassitt, and Montas. I think Micah Johnson has one more year, which is why you may not see him up this year.

Slots will be opening from Konerko and Dunn and Mitchell, Molina, Taylor Thompson, Jordan Danks, Cleto, and De Los Santos are all possible/probable to be outrighted off the 40 man roster.
August 7, 201411 yr Kevin Smith might not make the 40 man roster since Flowers Nieto and Phegley aren't going anywhere. I wouldn't be surprised if a few teams would put him on their active roster next year.
August 7, 201411 yr Players likely to be off 40-man next year: Nate Jones (60-day DL) Matt Lindstrom Felipe Paulino Adam Dunn Paul Konerko Gordon Beckham Players who reasonably could be removed from 40-man: Ronald Belisario Scott Carroll Maikel Cleto Frank De Los Santos Raul Fernandez Javy Guerra Charlie Leesman Nestor Molina Tyler Flowers Josh Phegley Jordan Danks Alejandro De Aza Jared Mitchell Moises Sierra Dayan Viciedo Bear in mind that Avisail will have to take somebody's place on the 40-man roster when he returns, too.

I wouldn't be surprised if a few teams would put him on their active roster next year. I agree, it will be tough to justify putting him on the roster unless they dump Phegley some place else. I think that one of the two will start next season as Flowers backup and Nieto will head to AAA to get everyday AB's. Flowers will be 29 next season, Smith and Phegley will both be 27.

Nate Jones has to remain in the 40-man throughout the offseason. Once baseball activities start, he can be transferred to the 60-day DL to open up a spot on the 40-man roster.
