Saw Black tweet this article earlier today and I finally had a chance to read it. Gotta feel sorry for the guy, he obviously has worked his butt off and it's highly unlikely he's ever going to see the majors in a White Sox uniform. I wonder if another team will take a chance on him in the Rule V?

Since he was at AA and hasn't played in AAA... if I understand the rules correctly, he is eligible for the first two levels of the draft. The major league portion (which requires a 25 man roster slot), he's got no chance of being drafted. But the AAA portion (requires AAA for full season), I think there is a chance he gets picked.

 

As for making the majors, while his chances are slim, they're not quite zero. As noted in the article, there are scenarios that could see him in Chicago in 2014 - specifically if Konerko isn't around, the team is bad, and Dunn is traded mid-season. If Black rakes in Charlotte, in that scenario, he could be promoted.
