MiLB Rule 5

[connja]

Believe the Minor League portion oft he rule 5 is still going forward next week.  Anyone know where to find a list of available players?  Have we ever drafted anyone of note in the minor league portion?

As far as I know, it’s still going on. The best place to find potential protected players is by checking out the AAA teams rosters. I don’t know a way to find who is available.

The most recent “star” they drafted was Martin Cervenka. The biggest “star” any team had drafted recently was the White Sox selecting Yermin Mercedes from the birds a few seasons ago.

Seem like good picks to me! I like adding pitchers.

Looks like that's all the O's are taking.

Better than more corner outfielders.

Did we lose anyone?

Nope.  Nobody.

It’s interesting that despite the improvement In our farm system, no one was interested in our minor leaguers, even for the price of basically nothing.

Well we protected the ones that were worthwhile. If anything, it speaks to our projections and analytics that we protected the right guys.

Per MLBTR:

from round 3, Mariners select RHP Tommy Wilson from Mets (later traded to Orioles for cash considerations)

“RHP Nolan Hoffman was selected first overall in the draft by the Orioles, which is great for him and a smart pickup by the Orioles; Hoffman, Seattle’s fifth-rounder in 2018, missed most of 2019 with TJ surgery and obviously didn’t pitch in 2020, but bounced back in a strong campaign in a 2021 split between Modesto and Everett. A true sidearm reliever and polished college arm with excellent command and a truly funky delivery angle, Hoffman should advance quickly through the O’s less-robust system and could even see a late-season call-up if he’s able to arrive in Double-A and replicate his performance at the low minors. Good for him, bad for us.”

Further down in that same link is some info on Tommy Wilson.  Apparently, he’s the son of Biff Tannin from the Back to the Future movies.
