ORLANDO, Fla. — After striking gold in last year’s Rule 5 draft with the selection of Shane Smith and the subsequent claim of Mike Vasil, the White Sox will be hard-pressed for an encore. Still, they’re trying their hand with a pair of right-handed pitchers, selecting Jedixson Paez and Alexander Alberto in the final event of the Major League Baseball Winter Meetings.
The White Sox selected Paez from the Boston Red Sox with the second overall pick in the Rule 5 draft, and then were the only team to participate in the second round of the Major League phase, nabbing Alberto — who is hopefully healthier than Alexander Albertus — from the Tampa Bay Rays.
