Rule 5 Draft

[RatkoVarda]

ML portion may not happen at all; assuming MiL portion goes ahead?

 

[Tiger337]

Does that mean the Rule V party is cancelled?

You can have an inferior party for the minor league portion.

Let's see what everyone wants to do.  The PBR and the popcorn will probably still be good next year.

At least the popcorn will.

I guess I could take down my Rule V banners, and put up Christmas decorations instead.  Sigh.

I'm still stuck in Brampton after kayaking over from Whitefish Point last year.

Stupid liberals making us not celebrate Rule V.  Well screw that.  Merry Rule Vmas!

Nice area.

[RatkoVarda]

It's on.

On the 5th day of the lockout Rob Manfred gave to me...Rule 5 cancelled!  

4 new playoff teams

3 years of early free agency

2 different balls

And a bunch of greedy owners.

Minor league Rule 5 draft:  First round Tigers Elvis Avarado and 2nd round Nick Kuzia.

Also, looks like the Tigers lose Ruben Garcia.

 

[Tiger337]

I just became a huge Nick Kuzia fan!  He pitched for UMass Lowell where I spent a dozen years as a student and later a teacher.  Not many UML grads make the majors.  If he can pull it off, he'll be #7.

I'm definitely on board with drafting anybody named Elvis.

WTF am I supposed to do with this pink popcorn?  I have a 45 gallon drum of it.

Save it for the next rule V.

[Jim Cowan]

That's surprising.  How many minor leaguers did teams own in 1891? I would have thought zero.  I guess we are reminded from time to time that Clemente was a Rule 5 pick.
