Ozzie Ball Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 The White Sox have traded away many prospects over the last couple of years but to date none of them have come back to bite the Sox. Here I will review all of the prospects traded away by Kenny Williams in 2009 and will try to determine whether this latest crop of former prospects will come back to haunt the White Sox in the future. Lance Broadway 2009 Stats Prior to Lance Broadway’s trade to the Mets (in return for Ramon Castro) he actually put up some decent numbers at Charlotte including a 3.75 SO/BB rate and an 8.4 SO/9, by far the best strikeout rate he had posted since his debut season. The ERA was high but there was reason to be encouraged. After the trade, however, Broadway was awful, the strikeouts plummeted, the walks rose as did the ERA and WHIP. Broadway has made several appearances with the Mets but his performances have been weak, he’s giving up an extreme amount of hits, which either says his stuff is very hittable or he has been very unlucky. Time is running out for this former first round pick and he will need to make some significant improvements next year if he wishes to be successful.

Springfield Soxfan Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Not that he had a future, but does anyone know why we would release Egbert now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Hates Prospects Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Probably because Kenny wanted space to add other prospects who they want to protect from the Rule-5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, do we know who has to be protected this year? Whisler also was just outrighted to the minors as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whisler also was just outrighted to the minors as well. I think anyone who has had 4 full seasons in the minors. Santo Luis, Fernando Hernandez, Derek Rodriguez, guys like that all have to be protected. I don't know about the full list but usually that list is released prior to the Winter Meetings where the Rule-5 is held. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
