That puts them on the 40 man roster thus protecting them from the rule 5 draft.

 

 

Austin Nola.. relation to Aaron I'm guessing? Can we trade him for Aaron?

So still have five spots left in the 40 man roster.

 

 

And why not just filled up all the spots that left ?

Because there's still a few weeks left until the rule 5 draft and roster additions can still be made. Today was just about adding the minor leaguers that they didn't want exposed in the draft.

Ok,so the four spots left were for Jansen,Hill,Sale and Cespedes.

 

 

Speaking of Rule 5. Which order are we picking? Whats out there?

are you inlove with Hill? don't you have enough of Hill 

 

 

Really excited for Steckenrider. Dude has had a hell of a road to this point. Was a crappy starter, had surgery came back to go to the pen after contemplating retirement and now he's dealing

 

Future closer.

 

Luis needs to improve command before he gets here but the fact he throws 96 with a great change up makes him a really good asset and future 3-5 material, possibly more with good time in AA/AAA. Should be here by 2018 full time.

 

Riddle is probably more bench material but a good fielder who plays multiple spots and a decent snappy singles hitter. Could be here this season as a backup.
