Do you see any one as good as Deshields or Herrera being left unprotected this year? After 40 mans are done would like to see your thoughts on potential rule 5 guys that could be impacts right away.

By the looks of it, it looks like Patrick Wisdom, Luis Perdomo, Dwight Smith Jr., David Peterson, Yeison Asencio, Matt Skole and John Camargo will go unprotected unless their respective teams reevaluate and go back and give them a spot.

Wisdom will be left unprotected but I would be surprised if someone takes him in the Rule 5.

His bat might not be ready yet, but his power/speed mix might be good for a bench bat. Then they can send him back down next year.

After looking at Mayo’s article there are a pretty nice amount of good players even outside the top 100 prospects that aren’t on their teams 40.
Obviously that can change within the next 24 hours, but it’s still nice to think about as a fan.

There’s a player in the minors named Kieboom? Please tell me he hits for a lot of power …
everlastingdave
A+ name.
Ted
Sadly he hit 2 HR in 285 PA last year as a 24 year old in high-A ball. He slugged .002 above his OBP. So no, not so much with the power. He better have one heck of a glove to play catcher with that kind of production.

There’s Anthony Bemboom as well in the Angels system.
Lots of fun names when you look at each teams minors system. I remember there was a player named Sequoyah Trueblood Stonecipher several years ago.

I swear if Preller doesn’t protect Justin Hancock and he gets taken I’ll be mad…

So many people forgot about Mallex Smith going to Braves in that trade. In my opinion, he is a better CF prospect than Margot. He has no power, but Margot doesn’t have much. Smith has hit for average everywhere he goes and he has much, much better speed. 80 speed.

looks like Mallex will be playing for the Braves at some point in 2016. Does Smith hit from the left side at all? – stole a lot of bases last year. But as far as who is better between the 2 lets wait another 3,5,10 years to decide

Just for the sake of getting a better understanding, Margot could not have been selected in the Rule 5 draft until next winter, correct? Cot’s has his signing day as 7/2/11 when he was 16. So that would make him ineligible for selection until after July of 2016 (5 years) which would leave him safe until next year’s Rule 5 draft?
If so, why add him to the 40-man now?

It includes ’11 (11,12,13,14,15)

Random question about comp picks. The Orioles have Chen and Davis as free agents who rejected the QO. Odds are those 2 will sign elsewhere. MLBTR has Chen going to the Tigers and Davis tot he Cardinals. Now I know the Tigers have a protected 1st round pick so they’ll sacrifice their 2nd round pick, and the Cards would sacrifice their 1st round pick for Davis.
So here’s the question, do the Orioles then get 2 compensation picks after the first round? Or do they get 1 comp pick after the 1st round and then another comp pick after the 2nd round?
I guess the real meat of the question is, if a team has multiple qualifying offer FAs who rejected their offers would they get multiple comp picks after the first round?
Or do they get 1 comp pick after the 1st round, one pick after the 2nd round, and so on depending how many QO FAs leave their team.
OR (let’s use the O’s as example again) if Chen and Davis sign elsewhere do they get a comp pick after the 1st round this year and then another comp pick after the 1st round next year? I doubt that would be the case.
I just don’t recall a team having multiple compensation picks in between the 1st and 2nd rounds before but the Orioles, Cards, Nationals, Dodgers, and Padres all have multiple QO FAs on the market with comp picks attached to them.

Mlb had a nice article on this. The Orioles will have 2 first-round comp draft picks if both Davis and Chen sign elsewhere. The full order of picks can be found here: m.mlb.com/news/article/157232438/qualifying-offers…

Thanks. That’s what I was figuring. Just wasn’t sure since I don’t think it has ever happened before… until now. Granted this new format has been only in effect for, what, 2-3 years going into this offseason.
