I'm just thinking if there was a pitcher with a big fastball and lots of Ks but really far away lots to work on, pulling him from another teams A ball club into AAA wouldn't be a terrible idea if you can steal a future RP

The team taking him has to place him on the major league roster all season or give him back. So he won't be taken this year since he's so far away. that tiny i gets hidden... MINOR league portion of the draft. i guess theyve gotten rid of the AA draft, but I just wasnt sure how the AAA one works. there is no 'returning' prospects i think, but i wasnt sure on eligibility, because it would seem like a lot of guys would get taken if its just any R5 eligible guy not already in AAA The minor league portion of the Rule 5 draft works based on minor league reserve lists that I don’t think are really ever made public. This isn’t written super clearly, but this link helps explain how that works: www.thecubreporter.com/book/export/html/3517 |

I went to opening night in Norwich to watch the Spinners. Bazardo was definitely the highlight of the night. He attacked the zone with fastballs and sliders all night, not wasting pitches and only throwing one or two changes. I sat behind home plate a caught a glimpse of a few radar guns. He sat 89 to 92, touching 94 twice, but the 79-81 slider was the star of the night. Tiger hitters watched helplessly as late and sharp movement brought it back into the zone catching 5 batters looking. They didn't have much more success swinging. After starting the 3rd with single, walk, single and being touched for one run, he stranded runners on first and third with swinging k's on two sliders and a grounder to short.

Mosqueda and Franco also both pitched at 89 to 92. I thought Oddanier looked good also, more like the guy who put the good DSL numbers two years ago rather than the average GCL numbers last year. He was 74 on the curve and 79 on the slider with good movement. There is not a lot to write about on offense and no Tiger pitcher topped 92 on the night. The only extra base hit was a fly ball that Dearden lofted between the left and center fielders, falling on the warning track. Brannen started more successfully in the NYPL lining a single over the shortstops head on a 76 mph curve.

I was disappointed to read that Bazardo was eligible for rule 5. It is pretty rare for a pitcher to be protected that low(Annibal Sanchez is the only one I can think of who was), but he seems like a guy a team with a few empty roster spots might take a chance on.

That helps Jmei and I think Ive decided to move on with my life without fully understanding how it works.
re: Bazardo, I dont think theres a chance it's relevant this year, but as an older pitcher with a lot of swing/miss he's a guy who if he starts next year in Salem (big if, obviously) could be in danger in 2019 since Sox rarely protect guys who can't help MLB team.

I should have given Benge an acknowledgement in the offense discussion for his broken bat double that fell just inside the right field foul line.

This isn’t written super clearly, but this link helps explain how that works: www.thecubreporter.com/book/export/html/3517Yeah, it's pretty simple in that you just need to know that there are reserve lists for each level just like the 40-man major league roster. We used to have a source to get a hold of these but we don't anymore. They're more interesting than anything. But to give an example, in 2015 (last lists we got), Ty Buttrey, who had split the year between Greenville and Salem, was on the AAA reserve list. He was eligible for Rule 5 that year, but doing this protected him from being selected in the AAA portion of the draft. It's a lot easier to select and stash a minor league Rule 5 pick because they only need to stay on that level's reserve list. So to give another example, Luke Tendler, who has been with the Sea Dogs all year, was selected by the Red Sox in the AAA portion of the minor league Rule 5 Draft - all they need to do is keep him on the AAA reserve list. |
