Bargain Shopping at the Rule 5 Draft

A Boy Named Seo Dec 07 2022 09:00 AM

So the Rule 5 draft is going down today. If I were a betting man, I'd heavily wager the Mets try to get a bullpen guy today, if such a dude is available at #27. Do we lose anyone? These fellas say Mangum is our best, unprotected guy. I hope we don't lose the Neutral Milk Hotel guy.

Mets draft RH starter Zach Greene from the MFYs and don't lose anyone in round 1. https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=greene000zac Later

I like the K/9 but my guy's gotta cut down on the free passes if he wants to stay on the right team

Looks like the minor league portion is done now. We nabbed a few guys and lost just one, if I read it right. Rd 1: Dominican pitcher Wilkin Ramos (Pirates) https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=ramos-003wil Rd 2: Mexican outfielder Augustine Ruiz (Padres) https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=ruiz--000agu Rd 3: Panamanian infielder Jonathan Arauz (Orioles) https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=arauz-000jon Rd 4: California shortstop Mateo Gil (Rockies) https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=gil---000mat Because the Phillies only shop at the Mets Used Good Store, they drafted our Trey Cobb (RHP) in the 5th round.

Fangraphs on Zach Greene: [BLOCKQUOTE]Greene sets up on the extreme first base side of the rubber and has an open stride down the mound, clearing his front side and enabling him to have a nearly perfect north/south arm slot from a drop-and-drive style delivery. It creates huge carry on his fastball and helps it blow past hitters at the letters even though it only sits 90-92. Greene's slider and changeup are both average, and his changeup seemed to take a significant step forward late in 2022. He looks like a three-pitch middle reliever.[/BLOCKQUOTE] https://blogs.fangraphs.com/the-2022-rule-5-draft-scouting-reports/
