Off the top of my head, these guys will likely be off the 40-man before the rule 5, I’d assume.
Add Franmil and that makes 10.

That would take the current 42 to 32.

Brennan, Naylor, Martinez, Curry, Hankins, Cantillo, Gaddis, Battenfield, Miko are fairly likely to be picked if left exposed because they could respectfully hold down a MLB spot now imo. Not really worried about the Gabby Rodriguez or Planez types at A ball. So really just need to clear one spot I think.

Depending on how Freeman does, that may be Miller or Rosario. If you have Benson/Jones learning 1B and have some form 2nd/SS as Gimenez, Freeman and Rosario/Miller (one of these last two become redundant).

I kinda like Miller off the bench. Kinda serviceable but can possibly be cut if need be. You need a few guys like that.

At this point I consider Palacios to be even more redundant and I hope he can be packaged with someone like a Plesac to create another spot for a young arm to win a rotation spot.
 
Seeing who they have protected over the last few years, when it comes to utilities players, I be surprised if Owen is not protected, as he is Better then most of them……

Yeah ... but at this point, Freeman is utility ... especially if Rocchio is as almost good as Lindor and SS of future with Arias/Tena and Martinez close behind with Gimenez at 2nd. Reason he is starting 3B today (and last night before being rushed up)

Who’s to say Freeman is better then Clement when it comes to his bat, hopefully we will find out, but he’s definitely no for sure thing…I’m glad the front office is finding out, …….But Miller is find for his role, I think he playing more because of Naylor injuries and Reyes ineffectiveness
 
pedigree, track record, scouting, youth
 
With Freeman now in Cleveland, how soon will Rocchio be in Columbus?

He now has 568 PAs in Akron, the equivalent to a full season, and he has raked...

A wRC+ of about 127...18 HR...55 XBH.

It would he nice if they got him up soon...
 
Keith Law's midseason top 60 is out. Guardians notables:

20. George Valera (up from 29)
21. Brayan Rocchio (up from 22)
24. Daniel Espino (up from 51)
37. Gavin Williams (previously unranked)
48. Tanner Bibee (previously unranked)

Some poster on here laughed when I said Bibee is knocking on the door on these top prospect lists.
