Congratulations to the Dirtbag and Arnie. The only other player I saw with any White Sox connections was Humberto Quintero who we traded along with OF Alex Fernandez to San Diego for D'Angelo Jimenez.

Actually I was mildly surprised. I expected Brian Anderson to be one of the Sox representatives. He's the most athletic guy I've seen in a Sox uniform (albeit spring training uni) since Cameron. Kid's gonna be a player.

This game is primarily for higher-level prospects. Only the VERY top prospects in baseball from the A level ever really make it to this game. It is a showcase for the syoung tars of the next couple years.

Yep, but some of our top A-ball prospect pitchers may be able to make it to the big leagues by the end of the season to see if we can find a 5th starter
