Rule 5 Draft


scenario

Recommended Posts

Who will be added to the 40 by Friday (tomorrow) to be protected from the draft?

 

Players who must either be protected/exposed include:

 

Stefan Gartrell

John Shelby Jr.

Matt Long

Justin Cassell

Brian Omogrosso

 

I suspect the Sox will protect Gartrell, Shelby, and maybe Cassell.

 

Doubtful anyone will take a flyer on Omogrosso for next year given his injury.

 

Please add anybody I missed...

I think shelby and long will be protected. Probably Gartrell and Cassel as well. I wouldn't protect those guys though as I don't think they'd stick on another major league team for a full-season.

 

Long and Shelby have the best potential of that group. Omogrosso would be right there with Long/Shelby, but he's hurt and who knows if he'll recover.

Other Possibles? (not sure whether they are eligible, but think they probably are)

 

Christian Marrero

Anthony Carter

Ryan Rote

Israel Chirino

Tyson Corley

Lee Cruz

Matt Inouye

and a few other players in the lower minors

Pretty sure Matt Innouye left the organization already.

 

If Corley or Marrero really need protecting, I'd choose them over most of the ones mentioned at the beginning of this thread.

 

But I do like Gartrell, I really think people are missing the boat on him.

I'd like to keep Marrero but no way I protect him. I doubt a team would pick him up in the Rule 5.

The White Sox have room to gamble on a kid this year, though i doubt they will. If we want to invest in a kid from the Rule 5 draft we have an available bench spot and a spot in the pen. This is assuming of course that these holes aren't filled externally.

 

I wouldn't be shocked if our pick was a raw pitcher to stick into the pen ala Johan Santana.

Rote was released after the season, Inouye was released back in May and Chirino has been out of the organization since 2008. Tsk tsk, Patrick. ;)

Yeah, I was slacking...

 

I was just doing a quick review of the 2005-2006 draft lists and grabbing names to get the post up there.

 

I knew the list wasn't right and figured someone would correct it for me.

 

So, thanks for doing it.
