November 11, 200817 yr Does anyone know when the rule V draft starts? This seems like a place where the FO can get some kind of impact player...
November 11, 200817 yr To get an impact player, you gotta get pretty lucky.. off the top of my head Uggla, Victorino and Josh Hamilton are about the only ones I can think of that have made considerable contributions to their teams.

Johan Santana, Joakim Soria, and tons of others. Even Jay Gibbons is an amazing Rule V pick.
November 11, 200817 yr Were they minor league Rule V picks or were they actual Rule V picks that stuck with the team the whole year? I'm not quite sure how that works.. do you have to stay with the team the entire season? I always forget.

I'm not quite sure how that works.. do you have to stay with the team the entire season? I always forget. You have to be on the 25 man roster the whole year. You can be DL'd, but must be reinstated on the MLB roster when you get healthy.

November 12, 200817 yr Rule 5 is the last day of the Winter Meetings, and while every team has players exposed on it, not all teams draft, either because of no one they are interested in or anticipated roster issues, or for other reasons. Rule 5 has both a major league component and a minor league one as well. It's alway an interesting event and this year, because of a change in the CBA a few years back there's supposed to be a good number of talented players available.

I think the changes in CBA helped clubs retain their talent longer by giving teams 5 years, instead of 4, to protect high school (17 and 18 year olds) drafted. It remains 4 for 19+ or college players. Are you referring to another provision? I'm not aware of any changes in the minor league phase that would make more players eligible to be drafted?
November 12, 200817 yr Rule 5 is the last day of the Winter Meetings, and while every team has players exposed on it, not all teams draft, either because of no one they are interested in or anticipated roster issues, or for other reasons. It also costs money in order to draft a player, so if you have no faith in any of the players available (or you know that they won't break camp), it's counterproductive to atleast "try" because you'll still end up losing money. Just want to clarify if somebody reads your post and thinks "well they should atleast try, worse case scenerio is they're back where they started from." You do make half of it back though if the team you drafted from takes the pick back (IIRC it's 100k and 50k), and if the team doesn't want the player back you get to keep him.

Lou, I believe this is the year that rule change catches up with itself and you have figuratively two classes graduating (or being exposed to the draft) simultaneously.
December 11, 200817 yr Anyone know when the RULE V draft starts? Any idea where we pick, and whom we might be after?
December 11, 200817 yr It's Rule 5, not Rule V (it refers to a section in the MLB Basic Agreement, Rule 4 being the annual amateur draft) but regardless... 11:30am

December 11, 200817 yr Does anyone know when the rule V draft starts? This seems like a place where the FO can get some kind of impact player... It starts at 12:00pm u can track it on MLB.com Nice article about the draft and some players of interest on MLB.com as well We all are well aware of 2 years ago the Reds snatched Hamilton just before the Marlins turn by way of trade. How many remember Joakim Soria was also selected that day? http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...8&fext=.jsp
December 11, 200817 yr BTW Lou you are right the commentary is the rule change will make it more difficult to pluck a gem out of this draft
December 11, 200817 yr Doesn't look like the Marlins are even going to participate in the RULE 5. I logged on to mlb.com and clicked on the draft tracker and the Marlins are not listed on the draft order.
December 11, 200817 yr According to the draft tracker the Marlins don't have a pick in the MLB portion. WEIRD?!?!?!?!
December 11, 200817 yr We Took Zachary Kroneke LHP from New York Yankees from AAA He was 7-0, 2.85 ERA in 41 relief appearances with 28 BB, 54 K's last season between AA and AAA.
December 11, 200817 yr We Took Zachary Kroneke LHP from New York Yankees from AAA He was 7-0, 2.85 ERA in 41 relief appearances with 28 BB, 54 K's last season between AA and AAA. Those are some nice numbers. Batters hit just .190 off of him. Zach Kroenke, LHP, Yankees: The 2005 fifth-rounder out of the University of Nebraska made it up to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2008, combining for a 2.85 ERA and a .190 batting average against across two levels.
December 11, 200817 yr There is a live broadcast on MLB.com pretty boring ! http://mlb.mlb.com/media/player/mp_tpl_3_1...cid=mlb&v=2
