Rule 5 Draft

Johnny Dickshot Dec 07 2005 06:40 PM

Can't recall where we had this discussion before, so FU thread police. I got 39 names on the Mets.com 40-man roster and 39 on Edgeward;s thread (not sure if they're the same 39) so I suppose its possible we can add somebody in tommorrow's draft, perhaps from the "Scott Saurbeck Group" described in this nifty preview: [url]http://baseballanalysts.com/archives/wtny/index.php[/url]

Interesting stuff...wasn't David Wright a Rule 5 pick up?

Nope. Sandwich pick in the draft.

Mine has Keppel whom I don't recall the Mets removing. Their has Self whom I thought I recalled the Mets removing. The Mets roster has Concepcion. Mine also has Hamulack double-listed, which I've just now fixed. So, it's mets.com with 39, including Concepcion and and Self. Edgy's with 38, including Keppel.

Don't forget Jose Valentin. Later

He's not added yet. News reports Mets could lose Ring (?), MacLane and/or McGinley.

28-y.o. RHP 3-5, 4.50 for the Fresno Grizzlies last year, 58/15 in 66 IP. Nine years in Whitte Sox org., signed by Giantss out of the Northern League. Looks like a pretty long shot.

]Marlins - Dan Uggla, 2b, Diamondbacks In the category of Major Leagers who had to fight a lot as children.

Vic Sage Dec 08 2005 11:13 AM

in that category, i can't imagine Fabio had it too easy in middle school.

Or Mariner's reliever JJ Putz. Back to topic. The Mets did lose two players in the secondary (minor league) phase of the draft: ]B-Mets SS David Bacani was selected by the Red Sox, and B-Mets RHP Celso Rondon was selected by Tampa Bay in today’s Rule V Draft… No other Mets were selected… Too bad about Bacani.

[url=http://minorleagueball.com/story/2005/12/8/115823/024]John Sickels' take[/url]: ]New York NL: Mitch Wylie, RHP, from Giants 4.50 ERA, 58/15 K/BB in 66 innings for Triple-A Fresno. 28 years old, with a mediocre minor league track record. Throws strikes but hasn't had an ERA lower than 4.34 since 1999. A non-exciting pick.
