It's basically a list of guys who didn't make it in their Handbook but were borderline cut. Here's the link and quote.
"Jack Egbert, rhp, White Sox
Born: May 12, 1983. B-T: L-R. Ht.: 6-3. Wt.: 205. Drafted: Rutgers, 2004 (13th round). Signed by: John Tumminia/Chuck Fox.
For a 13th-round pick, Egbert made a quite an impression in his first full season in 2005. He led all minor league pitchers with three shutouts and helped low Class A Kannapolis win the South Atlantic League championship. Egbert allowed one run in two playoff starts, including a combined shutout in the clincher against Hagerstown. From a tools standpoint, he established himself as the owner of the best changeup in the White Sox system. His fastball is a pedestrian 86-91 mph, but it works because he's willing to challenge hitters inside and can keep them off balance with his changeup. He has improved his two-seamer since signing and gets a lot of groundballs when he's on. At higher levels, Egbert will need a better breaking ball. His slider is fringy at this point. The White Sox also would like to see him approach conditioning more seriously than he did during his first offseason. He's destined for high Class A Winston-Salem this season."
