Tiger337 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I was reluctant to start a new thread, but the Rule V Draft has traditionally been a big event at Motown Forums. This is a thread for serious discussion as well as party preparation. Yes, Edman, we know it's called "Rule 5", but the party invitations have already been sent and there is nothing Liston can do about it now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1984Echoes Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 (edited) They're not at the top of the draft so I don't know if anything will fall to us other than a lottery ticket reliever. Here's to hoping Harris can be as effective as AL AVILA in the Rule V draft... Edited December 2, 2022 by 1984Echoes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Cowan Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I still have a 45 gallon drum of that pink popcorn, and 12 cases of PBR. If you are driving, park your car at the church around the corner. They don't like it but what can they do? They can't do nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger337 Posted December 3, 2022 Author Share Posted December 3, 2022 (edited) "First Rule 5 draft since roster expanded to 26 players". I also am assuming that they are going with the 13 pitcher limit this year. This would make it easier for teams to keep a not quite ready for prime time position player on the roster all year.
