Bret Hart Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollythewog Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entendu Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Oh wow, we got the Braulio guy. Apparently he was predicted to go first on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 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.

Eddie Altamonte Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 I was hoping for a 2nd baseman, there were a few good ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherrealfan Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Undakai Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Hopefully he's recovered well and continues from where he left off. Could be a good pickup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Altamonte Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Lara throws 97-100 mph Fastball who has control issues but seems to be figuring things out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherrealfan Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entendu Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 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. Not sure. Baseball America wrote an article on him. He can throw 100, from what I've read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 Lara throws 97-100 mph Fastball who has control issues but seems to be figuring things out Sounds like Jorge Sosa except Lara has a lot of time to figure it all out still.

He's already walked 7 in 5.1 innings in winter league (and walked 58 in 112 innings last year) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bret Hart Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Now 39 on 40-man roster. Maybe the last one for FA 3B? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollythewog Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 We took Tyler Kehrer from LAA as our first pick in the MiLB Rule 5 Draft nice K rate but unbelievably bad walk rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollythewog Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
