Admin Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 With the trades of Gordon and Stanton, the Marlins have two open 40-man spots ahead of the Rule 5 draft. Any names out there for them to target in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanofthefish Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I'm sure they'll take someone from the Yankees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish20 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 there are actually a bunch of high profile pitching options available in this draft and a few hitters. i hope we make use of our pick this year cause we have the roster spots and should be taking all fliers possible on available talent.

The_Punisher Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Does anyone have some exciting names i can read about ahead of the draft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish20 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 there are a few articles ive read out there detailing the potential names if you google it. a lot of the more exciting names are guys who have been injured and thus they are rule 5 eligible but probably arent ready to be in the big leagues so their teams left them unprotected because teams might not want to spend a roster spot for the entire year on a guy who isnt mlb ready. We might be able to afford to do that given that we are about to tear our entire roster down though, so who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish20 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 travis demeritte is an uggla type guy the braves left unprotected. id assume he's one of the first few guys taken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted December 9, 2017 Author Share Posted December 9, 2017 Justin Bour was a rule 5 guy (minor league phase) and we know about Uggla of course so there can be value there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Punisher Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 How interesting that Mark Appel is eligible. i remember half the guys here back in 13 were mad we didnt draft him. Rebuilding can actually be fun. Demeritte looks like a pure hitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish20 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Open up more spots and take as many as possible. Rule 5 guys can be better than the prospects we are getting in trades. agreed. We also have like 5 guys wasting 40 man spots currently so it's not like space on the roster is an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bret Hart Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 https://www.mlb.com/news/rule-5-draft-15-prospects-to-watch/c-263427028?tid=151437456 Mayo mentioned 15 potential players who could pick up at Rule 5 Draft and Andy Beltre was there. Andy Beltre, RHP, Marlins: The 6-foot-4, 24-year old righty reached Double-A for the first time in 2017 and is a hard thrower with below-average command, as evidenced by 9.9 K/9 and 3.5 BB/9 rates in his career. Also here are other Marlins who can be selected at Rule 5 draft. (the number means their organizational ranking) 12. Jeff Brigham, RHP 25. Ricardo Cespedes, OF 26. Isael Soto, OF 28. John Norwood, OF 29. Austin Dean, OF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
