Trayce Thompson a rare high school success story for White Sox

Second-round pick in 2009 one of few prep picks to reach Chicago after promotion made official today

Thanks to his brothers, Trayce Thompson's promotion to Chicago was a poorly kept secret.

The writing was on the wall when J.B. Shuck hobbled to the dugout after scoring on a wild pitch against the Yankees on Friday, but the Sox used the roster spot for Scott Carroll in what Robin Ventura described as temporary bullpen reinforcement.

In the interim, both Klay Thompson (Golden State Warriors guard) and Mychel Thompson (one-time Cleveland Cavaliers guard) spilled the news.
