Next Thursday is the deadline to protect players from the Rule V draft.

 

Who is eligible to be had in the Rule V draft for the Sox and who do you guys think will be protected?

 

Sox current 40 man roster is at 36 right now.

 

imo I can see that drop to 34 depending on how the sox brass feel about some

prospect. i am looking at some pitchers i am intrigue by.

I don't think they let Fernandez go.

 

Ravelo, Jaye, Montas, Rondon, and Saladino will be added.

 

No way they add Jaye. He hasn't proved himself above AA yet.

 

Saladino is interesting, but I don't think we have to worry about him because of his injury.

The only one of those that should be considered would be Ravelo, possibly.

 

I wouldn't put Montas or Rondon there unless you had no choice, which I don't think is the case yet.

 

Same with Anderson.

 

Montas and Rondon have to go on or they will be exposed to the rule V draft. Saladino would have already been on if not for his injury.

I agree that Montas should go on because someone would use him as a bullpen piece in my opinion.

 

But, I think there is no way someone picks up Rondon.

Francisco Montas is going to be a top 5 prospect in the White Sox system and there are going to be some publications who list him as a top 100 prospect in the game. If you don't think someone would stash him in the bullpen for a year (or outright convert him to a reliever) to have a chance at that arm, you are mistaken.

 

Rondon is also talented enough that there's no reason to risk losing him.

I agree. If Montas has to be on the 40, he will be on the 40. With all the hype, there is no way he wouldn't be picked in the rule 5. Probably first.

There isn't any doubt in my mind that Montas could pitch in the Sox bullpen today. With that in mind, there is zero chance he is left off of the 40 man roster, if it means he gets exposed to the Rule 5.

I know there are a couple more weeks before the arbitration tender deadline, but there's no reason Belisario can't be yanked off the 40 right now to make room if necessary. I could also see Mitchell getting booted if a spot is needed, and I won't cry if Wilkins and/or Phegley are gone either.

40 man currently at 37 with the addition of Duke.

 

Guys who I think will get outrighted/DFA'd off the 40 man: LGarcia, Wilkins

Guys who I would outright/DFA: Belisario, LGarcia, Wilkins, Mitchell

 

Guys who I think they will protect: Montas, Thompson, Bassitt, Ravelo (gets to 39)

Guys I'd protect: Montas, Thompson, Smith, Bassitt, Ravelo, Rondon (gets to 39)

 

We'll see how grossly off I am.

Bassitt was also called up in Sept, so he is already on the 40.
