From BA
We also have the 2nd Pick in the Rule 5 Draft on Dec 12
Miami Marlins (33)
Extremely Likely Protections: LHP Grant Dayton, C J.T. Realmuto, RHP Angel Sanchez, RHP Jose Urena.
Possible Protections: RHP Josh Hodges.
Dayton is a lefthander with a nice fastball/slider combination that paid off to the tune of a 4-4, 2.37 season at Double-A Jacksonville with a 56/12 SO/BB ratio. Realmuto has more potential than any catcher currently on the Marlins’ 40-man roster. Sanchez is the best of a thin haul the Marlins got from the Dodgers for Ricky Nolasco, which helps make the argument for adding him to the 40-man roster. His potentially plus stuff is another point in his favor. Urena has some work still to do if he’s going to develop as a starter, but it’s not unrealistic to think he could help a big league bullpen right now with his 95 mph-plus fastball. Hodges can’t match Urena in pure velocity, but his fastball is a tick above-average as a starter and he hits his spots. -
We got these guys in the Minor League Part
AAA 1B Justin Bour(CUBS)
AAA OF Brady Shoemaker (CWS)
AAA 3B Tony Thompson (OAK)
AA RHP Kelvin Castro (NYY)
These guys are just depth however Shoemaker is kinda interesting(missed entire 2013 season due to injury) and Castro is a project who has just been pitching for 2 years
By the way Kevin Mattison got picked so he is goneComment
