Update On This Year’s Rule 5 Draft Picks

By Mike Axisa | March 31, 2012 at 5:49pm CDT

Players selected in the annual Rule 5 Draft must remain on their new team's 25-man active roster all season, or be passed through waivers and offered back to their original club. Here's an update on the 12 players taken in December's draft…

  • Rhiner Cruz, RHP, Astros (from Mets) — Competing with Henry Sosa and Lucas Harrell for the final bullpen spot.
  • Terry Doyle, RHP, Twins (from White Sox) — Returned to ChiSox earlier this month.
  • Lucas Luetge, LHP, Mariners (from Brewers) — Luetge made Seattle's Opening Day roster.
  • Ryan Flaherty, IF, Orioles (from Cubs) — Flaherty is the favorite for Baltimore's utility infield job.
  • Cesar Cabral, LHP Yankees (from Red Sox via Royals) — Cabral suffered a stress fracture in his elbow last night and will start the season on the DL.
  • Lendy Castillo, RHP, Cubs (from Phillies) — The Cubs are expected to carry Castillo on their roster to start the season.
  • Gustavo Nunez, IF, Pirates (from Tigers) — Nunez was placed on the 60-day DL with an ankle injury back in February.
  • Robert Fish, LHP, Braves (from Angels) — Fish is battling a sore elbow and is headed to see Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion.
  • Erik Komatsu, OF, Cardinals (from Nationals) — The Cardinals will carry Komatsu as an extra outfielder to start the season.
  • Marwin Gonzalez, IF, Astros (from Cubs via Red Sox) — Gonzalez's chances of making the team appear to depend on the health of Jed Lowrie's thumb.
  • Brett Lorin, RHP, Diamondbacks (from Pirates) — Arizona will retain Lorin after a trade with the Pirates.
  • Brad Meyers, RHP, Yankees (from Nationals) — Meyers injured his shoulder during an offseason workout and has not appeared in a game this spring.

    Color me as surprised that there is another injury surrounding Lowrie and the possibility that he could have a starting job and fulfill his potential.

       It’s very minor.  MRIs came up negative.  Worst case he misses 1 week from it.

         That’s good. Nothing would make me happier than to see him make it through **1** season without any serious injury. wrist, mono (illness.. yes..) that seem to follow him around. even last season he was tearing it up with the bat, before his wrist once again was hurt and his offensive stats plummeted the 2nd half of the season.

        *IF* he can stay healthy an entire season? It would not shock me to see him top 5 offensive numbers for a SS for the season.
