Could they have kept these guys they lost if they moved them up to the next level before the end of the season? 

No. They had to make a list of players to protect in the Minor League phase. I think Meoli said they protected 40 or so players. These guys weren't on the list.

[Number5]

That explains why no round 2 pick.

Okay.  Wonder what Jackson addition means now.  Competition and send one back?

I mean if they moved from someone up from Single A to Double A at the end of the season the drafting team would have had to play them at Triple A.  Maybe they would pass as the player wouldn't be ready for that level.

Winner is starting Shortstop.  Loser is utility man.

Teams can protect additional players for each phase or is anyone in the minors up for grabs if they are Rule 5 eligible (and not on the ML 40-man roster)?

They can protect additional players.

The Orioles can carry both...but that wouldn't bode well for Steve Wilkerson.

Apparently, some things may not change. :-)

#16 on Luke's list:

Drew Jackson    – Dodgers – Utility IF

Jackson has some impressive tools for a Rule 5 eligible player. He has a cannon for an arm and plus speed. He can handle 3B/SS/2B and has even spent some time in CF. Jackson has dealt with a significant swing overhaul and a handful of nagging injuries which have slowed his progress. I’m not sure he’ll be able to make enough contact against MLB pitching, but there is some upside here if he does.

In the roll call before round 2 they said Baltimore had protected 32 players on the AAA roster.

But, no way they could use their current full allotment before the reset this summer anyway, right?

We had, what, three kids picked from the org?  I find that strange.  Like the two we grabbed.

Allows them to field any interesting offers for Villar if something comes up. But they can carry all 3 infielders if not.
