greasywheels121 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 http://whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/pr...t=.jsp&c_id=cws White Sox select Tim Hummel, Cole Armstrong and Dewon Day in Minor League phase of Rule 5 Draft DALLAS -- The Chicago White Sox selected infielder Tim Hummel, catcher Cole Armstrong and right-handed pitcher Dewon Day this morning in the minor-league phase of the Rule 5 Draft. Hummel, 27, was selected from St. Louis in the Triple-A phase of the draft. The 6-foot-2, 215-pounder split the 2005 season between Class AAA Pawtucket (Boston) and Class AAA Memphis (Cardinals), combining to hit .262 (108-413) with 10 home runs and 50 RBI in 120 games Hummel is a career .281 (654-2,330) hitter with 40 home runs and 284 RBI over six minor-league seasons. He also played in 82 games with Cincinnati in 2003-04, going 43-194 (.222) with three homers and 17 RBI. Hummel originally was drafted by the White Sox in the second round of the 2000 First-Year Player Draft and spent four seasons in their minor-league system before being traded to the Reds in August 2003 in exchange for pitcher Scott Sullivan. Armstrong, a 22-year-old who bats left-handed, was selected from Atlanta in the Triple-A phase of the draft. The 6-foot-3, 220-pounder spent the 2005 season at Class A Rome in the South Atlantic League, batting .225 (86-378) with seven home runs and 42 RBI. A native of Surrey, B.C., Armstrong is a .251 (143-569) hitter over three minor-league seasons, all in the Braves system. Day, a 25-year-old reliever, was taken in the Double-A phase from the Toronto Blue Jays. The 6-foot-4, 210-pounder split 2005 between Advanced Rookie Auburn and Class A Lansing, going 0-0 with a 3.86 ERA (7 ER/16.1 IP) and 18 strikeouts in 12 games. Day has gone 2-3 with a 2.13 ERA (17 ER/71.2 IP) and 73 strikeouts in 67 games over three minor-league seasons, all with Toronto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Dewon Day seems to get a lot of strike outs, but he is a little old. Armstong seems like a power potential catcher, but they all seem a little blah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 So can anyone tell me what the rules are on this part as compared to the Major league phase? Do we have to keep these guys at a certain level or anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 I was worried I'd never see Tim Hummel again. That Scott Sullivan deal is looking better and better every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
