Winter Meetings Day 4: Rule 5 Draft Thread

The Rule 5 draft is going on right now. The Reds' roster is at 40, so they will not be taking anyone, but they can still lose a player or two. In fact, they already have. The soul-sucker, Ben Jukich has been taken by the St. Louis Cardinals. Here's hoping that he can't stick.

Rule 5 is over
Jukich was the only player the Reds lost.

Also, the few times I've seen him in person
The things I noticed the most is that he’s taller than I expected (especially since he doesn’t throw very hard) and he’s really skinny.

The more I think about it
Dorn is pretty one dimensional to be forced to keep him on your roster all year. Perhaps if he had an upside worth waiting for, but he kind of looks like he is what he is. Not that he won’t make it to the majors, but he’s probably not the type of player you want to be forced to have on your roster all year.
Red Reporter or follow on Twitter: @redreporter
on the contrary
he is what he is. as part of a platoon in LF or 1B, he’d probably hit righties above-averagely and wont hurt you on defense. as long as you have that spot open on your roster, i’d say he’s a pretty safe bet to be a 1.0-2.0 WAR player, depending on playing time. and he’d make league-minimum. of course, not many teams have the luxury of a roster spot for a guy like that.

i think the Angels are a good example
they need COF help and they could use some lefty power. i dont think they have a roster spot open at the moment, but i would bet their plan is to sign or trade for someone.

In the double-A phase
Reds took some relief pitcher named Doug Salinas from Tampa Bay organization. Listening on mlb.com.
My fantasy football team this year? Lippincott's Shorts
He actually looks like he's had pretty good numbers
and he’s only just turned 21. He’s repeated the same level 3 years in a row though. In 219 career minor league innings, he has 210 Ks and 83 BB and allowed just 14 HR. It’s unlikely he’ll amount to a hill of beans, this is our hill and he’s one of our beans now!
Red Reporter or follow on Twitter: @redreporter
Salinas is a guy whom Seattle
regarded as a project when they signed him. Tampa Bay looked at him as a guy with a good body and strong arm. Can K a few guts without walking everyone. Maybe we’ll see him in Dayton.

Doesn't he have to play in AA?
I assumed that since he was taken in the Double-A Rule 5 draft.
Red Reporter or follow on Twitter: @redreporter
No. Teams may draft anyone who is not protected
from any roster beneath the designated round. They can even assign them to whatever level they want. It’s kind of confusing and silly, but rarely ever does anyone in the AAA phase pan out, let alone the AA phase.

by justin007000 on Dec 10, 2009 1:51 PM EST up reply actions
Doug posted this over on his site
The AAA and AA Minor League phases are far more simplified, as teams may draft any player not protected by either the 40 man roster or the 38 man AAA reserve list (AAA phase) and the 37 man AA reserve list (AA phase). These prospects can be purchased at the cost of $12,000 and $4,000 respectively, and are not subject to the restrictions of the Rule 5 Draft’s major league phase.
If I hear the word 'perky' again, I'll puke
what's the fucking point
i mean are these the guys who teams don’t feel are worth a risk for the Major League portion of the Rule V draft?

He’s actually an outfielder.
There were rumors that the Yankees were shopping their newly acquired draft pick, leading to speculation that the Granderson trade meant they were no longer interested in whoever they had been interested in. So an outfielder makes sense.

The deal was that the Nats would pick who the Yanks asked for, and he would be the PTBNL. That’s how it went with Hamilton, too.

I didn't think we traded anybody for Hamilton though
IIRC, it was Hamilton for cash

Hoffman is an interesting player
He was undrafted in baseball, but was drafted by the NHL. Chad Jennings says his power has increased as he’s progressed through the minors. He thinks it’s because he’s playing more baseball and less hockey.
Yankees fans were baffled at the pick, since the guy cleared waivers last season. Turns out, he didn’t clear waivers. A lot of teams wanted him, but the Dodgers paid him to refuse the claims. I didn’t know you could do that.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
Dodgers also had 7 spots open on their 40-man roster
and they left this dude unprotected. WTF?

They couldn't put him on the roster
I don’t understand the details, but according to Hoffman, when he refused the waiver claims from the other teams and signed with the Dodgers again, that meant he could not be put back on the roster until May.
I swear, just when I think I’m starting to understand the business side of baseball, there’s another curveball.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
You'll love this, then.
Zack Kroenke, whom Arizona picked from the Yankees, doesn’t have to be offered back to New York because he previously was outrighted off the 40-man roster. If he is offered back, however, he has the right to refuse a return to the Yankees and can become a free agent.

And it makes sense to me.
A player can only be outrighted to the minors once in his career (unless he consents).
