Rule 5 Draft Discussion

PrintThe Rule 5 draft is on this morning, and the Reds should hold serve by not doing much of anything. They could look to add a lefty specialist to hedge against Arthur Rhodes signing elsewhere, but I personally don't expect them to make a pick. Danny Dorn, as always, is an intriguing candidate to be picked by another team. You can talk about it all here.

"the only place they lost was the scoreboard"

I wake up this morning and find out that the fucking Red Sox got Crawford and the fucking Yankees are probably about to get Lee.
I had accepted the fact that we wouldn’t get Crawford long ago, but this hurts the World Series dreams a little bit.

i wish lee would just sign already
I’m so sick of hearing about how the Reds should sign him or trade for Greinke. Seriously? How is this offseason any different from ANY offseason in the last 30 years? Oh yeah, they need a starting pitcher LESS than any other year during that period. But now we need Lee or Greinke? I don’t have any issue with you more than anyone else begging for those guys, but turn the page for christ’s sake.

We have lots of starting pitching depth
but we have no ace, and I’m not confident that any of the pitchers we have will be an ace in 2011. I’ve never considered Lee a possibility, but the Reds have pieces to trade for Greinke. I think the Reds would be a better team with Greinke than with what they have right now. That’s why I want him despite the pitching depth.
And if I thought there was a realistic trade piece to fill LF or SS, I would be pining for them instead. Given that there hasn’t been any names worth shooting for at either of those spots (beside maybe JJ Hardy), I’ll stick to pining for Greinke.

I think, with yesterday's signing of Crawford, Ellsbury just became much more realistic
From the Sox end, they now have a very crowded OF, and Mike Cameron is probably not nearly as tradeable.
From the Reds perspective, they have plenty of pieces to trade for him, and he won’t be nearly as expensive the next 2 years as Greinke.
He’s no sure bet to bounce back, but Bill James has him hitting .300/.355/.409 next year. Combined with plus defense in LF, and the potential for a ton of steals, I’d definitely take that.
Greinke would certainly be a more impactful pick up, but Ellsbury would help the team a lot too, and is probably more gettable.

and it makes me happy

I'd be thrilled to get Ellsbury, but I'm not so sure I see it happening
"He’s like if Ron Gant and Eric Davis had a white baby." -- GlennBraggsSwingAndMissBrokenBat on Drew Stubbs
yeah, well, none of our hairbrained ideas on here are likely
But if we’re going to pine, I think good ole Jacoby is as worthy an object as any.
Also, it’s entirely possible the Red Sox would like to restock the farm a little after emptying it out for Gonzalez. And if so, Ellsbury probably brings back more than either Cameron or Drew.

I think Ellsbury fits this team perfectly.

I'm not saying I think we should get Lee, I'm saying that I don't want him to go to the Yankees.
IF the Reds get to the level of going to the World Series, it sucks that Lee will more than likely be there in Game 1 pitching for the Yankees. It makes the whole “winning the World Series” dream far less likely.

Christ on a hubcap?
The Reds need an arm like Lee or Greinke, since we have no legit ace. I guess Chapman is the only thing remotely close to that, if all the stars perfectly align. It’s not that we have bad pitching, it’s just that we at best have maybe a couple #2s, maybe a #3, and then a bunch of #4s and beyond….
The Reds will always have needs, and an ace will always continue to be one of those needs

Only three upsides exist when the Yankees and Red Sox sign all the big-name free agents
1. We won’t play them until the World Series (yes, I’m refusing to acknowledge interleague play).
2. Our division and league rivals won’t sign them.
3. It provides the kids in history class a great working example of Mutual Assured Destruction.
im beginning to think that Yonder's our LF next year.
Why else would they just let Dorn go for nothing?

by Kevin Mitchell is Batman on Dec 9, 2010 9:08 AM EST via mobile reply actions
They haven't let him go, no one picked him
He may be a case of the numbers look good in the minors but the scouts don’t see him as a threat in the big leagues. This is the second year in a row that he’s been passed over by every team in the rule 5 draft. Perhaps we overrate him?
Follow on Twitter: @redreporter. Buy The Wire-to-Wire Reds today!
Is the draft over already?
And yes, clearly there’s something there (or not there) that his numbers aren’t showing. Just tough to think what it could be.
I know his defense is bad, but can it be any worse than Alonso? It must be something in his swing that makes people think he won’t translate to the bigs.
see what I did there with uzr? it’s like a LOL cats saber-pun combo.--Verka Serduchka
I didnt explain myself very well.
I’m on the blackberry, so its a bit rough to deepen comments.
What I meant is that the Reds have left Dorn exposed again (not exactly a vote of confidence), let Nix go test the waters, and have stated they’re not shopping in the FA market. Who else does that leave to be a lefty power bat in the role Nix has played?

Yeah, it's a good point.
Combined with the gossip Slyde heard at Redsfest, and what Walt said about him this week, I’d say there’s a good bet you could see Yonder in LF a bunch next year.

“Pass” means a team had fewer than 40 on the roster but chose not to select anyone.

Kinda funny that the Yanks took a BOS pitcher that late in the draft.
Clearly no one else was interested in picking anyone. Just trying to stick it to their rivals? It’s also interesting that the team with the most money takes two players. If both last all year on the Yankees 25 man, I’ll make Skip Shumaker my avatar all next offseason.

So I'm not reading the whole thread from yesterday, so sorry if it's been discussed
But I really wonder if Boston will make Ellsbury available. He shouldn’t be too terribly expensive, dollars wise. If Walt and Bob should make a budget busting exception for anyone at this point, it should be him.
