We took Alfredo Silverio from the Dodgers

Our latest choice was LHP Zach Kroenke from Yankees at 2008 Rule 5 draft.

 

and the latest loss (major level) was OF John Raynor to Bucs at 2009.

He was the dodgers #4 prospect before a car accident in early 2012 that caused him to miss the year. In 2011 he OPSd near .900. Not a bad pick for a rule 5.

Oh wow, we got the Braulio guy. Apparently he was predicted to go first on this

Braulio Lara LHP is a Marlin

Here are Silverio's minor stats.

We took Alfredo Silverio from the Dodgers

 

Apparently he used to be a top prospect in their system (#4), but got in a bad car accident and missed a lot of time last season.

I was hoping for a 2nd baseman, there were a few good ones

Oh wow, we got the Braulio guy. Apparently he was predicted to go first on this

 

Why? his numbers do not look very good. Just asking.

Hopefully he's recovered well and continues from where he left off. Could be a good pickup

Lara throws 97-100 mph Fastball who has control issues but seems to be figuring things out

They are saying on MLB.com that he throws in the upper 90's, sometimes triple digits, just doesn't always know where it is going.

Not sure. Baseball America wrote an article on him. He can throw 100, from what I've read.

what the heck, if can't beat teams, we can scare the hell out of them

Lara's winter league stats.

Sounds like Jorge Sosa except Lara has a lot of time to figure it all out still.

What makes you think he's figuring things out? He's already walked 7 in 5.1 innings in winter league (and walked 58 in 112 innings last year)

We took Tyler Kehrer from LAA as our first pick in the MiLB Rule 5 Draft

Now 39 on 40-man roster. Maybe the last one for FA 3B?

nice K rate but unbelievably bad walk rate

Alfredo Silverio was a pretty good choice if he's recovered. He probably would have been called up to the dodgers last year if he didn't get injured. his 2011 numbers are very nice.

Isn't the Rule 5 draft kinda obviously gonna be guys that you go "eh, seemed good before, not sure now, lets see if he returns to form."

 

I mean, if the Rule 5 draft had any cant miss prospects, they wouldn't be in the rule 5 draft. just sayin
