Rule 5 IDT

Mets pick 11th, have four open spots on the 40. https://www.mlb.com/news/rule-5-draft-p ... -301627212 Here's a list of all 30 teams' Top 30 Prospects who are eligible to be selected in the Rule 5 Draft: New York Mets 19. Luis Carpio, SS 21. David Thompson, 3B 25. Ali Sanchez, C 27. Patrick Mazeika, C

Thompson is as good as gone. I'm surprised the Mets haven't rosterized Mazeika.

So, your roster shows David Wright is on the PUtP list. Is he still protected from the draft? Later

Benjamin Grimm Dec 13 2018 09:08 AM Re: Rule 5 IDT

I believe he is.

Is the Wright thing still a salary insurance issue?

Benjamin Grimm Dec 13 2018 09:25 AM Re: Rule 5 IDT

Is it not possible for him to agree to a minor-league assignment, removing him from the 40-man?

I'd be surprised if we didn't collect a lefthanded relief pitcher or a sidearmer, just to take a flier. Omar Wilpon never fails to.

I guess they like that he's into Jesus and stuff.

Centerfield Dec 13 2018 12:31 PM Re: Rule 5 IDT

So what's the rule? He has to stay on our 25 man the whole year? And if not we give him back? Sorry, this is meant to apply to the Dowdy guy. What's the rule for minor league Rule 5 guys?

Benjamin Grimm Dec 13 2018 12:33 PM Re: Rule 5 IDT

If not, the Mets offer to sell him back, I think. (At a fixed price; no negotiating.) At least, that's the way it used to be. May be different now.

Edgy MD Dec 13 2018 12:35 PM Re: Rule 5 IDT

Nine tweets and seven of them are on that very subject. Got a lot of hardthrowing righthanders. What the system is thin on is funky lefthanders and outfielders of any stripe.

smg58 Dec 13 2018 12:36 PM Re: Rule 5 IDT

First he gets put through waivers, and another team may claim him under the same restrictions. If he goes unclaimed, the Mets would offer to return him to Cleveland, but some other arrangement could be worked out. Dowdy looks like a long shot, but Callaway had to know him from his time in Cleveland and presumably liked something that he saw.

MFS62 Dec 13 2018 12:50 PM Re: Rule 5 IDT

The Mets didn't lose a single player at any level of the draft. That could mean: 1) They did a good job of protecting their talented players, or 2) They didn't have a surplus of players they couldn't protect that anyone would want. I'm guessing it was #2. Nice job, Sandy. Later

John Cougar Lunchbucket Dec 13 2018 12:58 PM Re: Rule 5 IDT

Bingo my ass. It really doesn't mean anything other than what it means. The implication that the breadth of fringe prospects at a certain point in their careers as judged by other clubs with their own issues in a regimented draft is any kind of referendum on a GM is about as stupid as anything I've read here in a long time

RealityChuck Dec 13 2018 01:11 PM Re: Rule 5 IDT

It merely means that they don't have any players who a team can carry on its active roster for the next season. This heavily favors relief pitchers (10 of 14 taken this year were pitchers) and few of the Mets' top prospects in that area were available for the draft.

Just trying to make the funny. Carry on.

The Phils had an interesting, Draft-eligible iteration of the former at AAA in Tyler Gilbert. (Also, a righty Barajas-y type catcher in Deivi Grullon.) Alas.

smg58 Dec 14 2018 08:35 AM Re: Rule 5 IDT

I'd be all for taking no-risk fliers on guys like that. Or seeing if I could get him or somebody similar now, knowing that I have the luxury of keeping him off the 40 if Zamora is better.
