More Former Wizards Get 40-Man Roster Protection

As the San Diego Padres were adding former Wizards to their 40-Man Roster for Rule 5 Draft protection, other MLB teams were also scurrying to protect their minor league talent. Some of them include former Wizards who are now playing for other organizations:

Jon Link (Chicago White Sox) – Link collected 35 saves at Double A this season. The Sox thinks he is primed to have a big-league closer career, which is why you have heard Bobby Jenks’ name bandied about in trade talks (albeit, minimal at this point).

Dale Thayer (Tampa Bay Rays) – Thayer was a Triple-A All Star this year. The 27-year-old releiver went 3-1 with nine saves and a 2.77 ERA. In 2007, he was 9-0 while collecting 21 saves. During six MiLB seasons, Thayer has compiled a 26-15 record, a 2.33 ERA and 132 saves.
