Does anyone know what his options are? I seem to remember some rule you can become a free agent after so many years in the minors.

Red Sox are on a role right now, slicing through the Rangers like butter last night. They seem to have a nice group of guys going for them right now...especially with local Mookie from Overton.

i hope Bryce gets a shot...
