Who's been on your minors squad the longest? August 08, 2018, 04:48:54 PM Just curious. I was thinking of waiving a guy who was somewhat hyped up just last year, but is having a very bad 2018. I had forgotten which round I'd taken him in last year, and thought I'd better look, just in case I drafted him higher than I thought (which would justify giving him a longer rope). That got me thinking I should do that for all my minors players, so I created a new column on my farm system sheet ("MSB selection"), and looked up each player's draft order. And I was stunned to find out that the longest tenured player is a tie between two guys I took in the 2016 draft (Tyler Mahle and Chris Shaw). TWO YEARS??? THAT'S IT??? Now, keep in mind that my draft strategy until we changed the rookie status rules before the 2017 season was drastically different then, as opposed to now.Anyway, that led me wonder about the rest of you guys. I'm very curious: Who is the longest tenured player in your farm system, and when did you draft him? Quote Selected

Re: Who's been on your minors squad the longest? Reply #7 – August 09, 2018, 04:19:18 PM Jack Flaherty has been in the minors longest on my roster. He was drafted in the 9th round in 2014 by the Hogs and I acquired him in a trade. When he gets promoted, the next oldest will be Harold Ramirez (2015 in the 9th round) if he doesn't get cut first.

I have all the picks so for in 2018 at least through round 7. Quote Selected 1 Likes
Re: Who's been on your minors squad the longest? Reply #9 – August 09, 2018, 08:29:24 PM For my squad, Dylan Cease. He was drafted 7.12 in 2015. He was a product of the Chicago Cubs at the time. He's finally putting it together it appears in the minors of the Chicago White Sox.This is a player that was already drafted when I inherited the team, or maybe I acquired Cease in a trade. I do not remember. Quote Selected

Re: Who's been on your minors squad the longest? Reply #13 – August 10, 2018, 09:01:11 AM Oh, and I just saw I actually drafted Chris Shaw in 2015 (round 6). So he is the longest tenjured guy for me. Quote Selected

The Rum Runners were under different ownership at the time, but the Chicago administration does appreciate the transaction. Quote Selected
