Astros Return Rule 5 Pick Anthony Gose To Rangers

By Steve Adams | March 9, 2018 at 1:26pm CDT

The Rangers announced today that they received Rule 5 pick Anthony Gose back from the Astros and assigned him to Triple-A Round Rock. He’ll join the Rangers in big league camp as a non-roster player. The Astros reportedly placed the left-hander/outfielder on outright waivers earlier this week.

Gose, a former big league outfielder, had been hoping to make a stacked Astros roster as a reliever. The former top outfield prospect converted to the mound last season after several years of difficulties at plate. Gose was a two-way star as an amateur but was drafted and developed solely as an outfielder. His arm strength from the outfield and his former pitching prowess have translated to the mound to an extent, as he’s reportedly been able to touch triple digits with his fastball.

Gose pitched 10 2/3 innings in Class-A Advanced in the Rangers organization last season and posted a 14-to-6 K/BB ratio in that time. It’s possible that the Rangers will continue to give him a look on the mound, though the team’s exact plans for him remain unclear. Rangers EVP of communications John Blake referenced Gose as an outfielder/left-handed pitcher in announcing the move, so perhaps he’ll continue to work on both elements of his game.

          Mistakes, like the lack of punctuation in your response, which makes it impossible to read?

      New ‘stros “fan” on the loose!

      People refer to us New England fans as obnoxious, arrogant, etc, but never in a million years would I ever consider signing off with “The Defending Champs”.

      Where’s the hate/animosity?

    I feel like the only reason the Astros even took him in the rule 5 was to sabotage the Rangers experiment..

        A lefty with his arm? If he came in and was lights out then I’m sure they would have given him a good look. But he wasn’t.

    Anthony Gose has an electric left arm but has no idea where the ball is going once it leaves his hand. He also has elite speed. The tools are awesome. If he can figure it out he will be a great reliever and a good pinch runner and back up/5th outfielder.

    I hear that he is not the smartest tool in the shed though.

    I hope he makes it. It would be a shame too see all these great tools never reach the next level. #Scoutseyes

      These “great tools” mean nothing if you can’t put them together. I can go find an Olympic sprinter to be a fifth outfielder. Or I can find countless 17 year old Dominican or Cubans who throw 98 but have no idea where the ball is going.

      Great notion, but I see him eventually migrating to position player only, I don’t think his shoulder holds up long term in MLB as a pitcher. #Scoutseyes
