Isn’t it just amazaing how many injuries these players sustain. Put on DL all year……simply amazing.
Cory J Wagoner
Hah I was just about to say that. It’s a bunch of crap if you ask me

Sometimes they actually are, it’s not everytime u know and injuries (past) are sometimes why some players are left not protected.
Boston took Miguel Gonzalez from Anaheim winter ’08 coming off of a year where he had missed the entire season with Anaheim and was left not protected as an example. boston took him, tho he almost imediately had to have TJ surgery and missed just about 2 full seasons from both injuries.

If a guy spends time on the disabled list he has to make it up the following season. There was talk in Baltimore when Flarethy went on the DL that he would have to start next year on the 25

Nunez must have suffered the same “injury” as Donnie Veal did a few seasons ago.

Seattle the big winner this year no doubt

Though Flaherty’s slash line isn’t the best, his value is more with how many positions he can play. I, at least, am glad we picked him up.

But that .252 OBP is fuggly.
Matthew Gerard Knauer
Like I said, his offensive numbers aren’t the best, but we never really gave him consistent at bats for stretches of time. He was like a super-super-utility man who gave our regulars a day off from time to time.

Always seems to be lefty relievers and utility players that pan out from rule v draft.

With rare exception (Josh Hamilton, for ex.), it doesn’t make sense to pick up players through the rule-5 draft. Plus, it handcuffs the team b/c you have to keep the player on the roster or he has to be offered back to his original team.
LazerTown
Why not? Josh Hamilton, Dan Uggla, Johan Santana all were rule 5 picks. It costs 50K to get the player, which is pretty cheap way to get talent. Maybe for the Yankees it doesn’t make as much sense, but for the Astros or any other bottom barrel team. If you just find a couple decent players.
