Rule 5 Talk 23

[sportscoach]

Don't rule us out of taking another reliever (I give it 30% chance, 30% catcher, 10% 1B/OF if Rosario is on trade block - and Arias at SS and 30% skip). Right now, we just have 8ish relievers with Morris (if not starter), Pilk (who isn't really a reliever) or Herrin slotted for either that 8th pen slot. It's not a clear path, but its another area with trading Vargas that we are a little thin at if they avoided rostering Misiaszek, Miko and others due to bing deemed not ready by Spring. And, even if they are ready, there are other better arms in Rule 5 if FO left them off/unprotected.

I expect if we do pick someone in the Rule, we are hoping it's the second coming of Stephan. I don't expect a bat at all, but we never know what Cleveland is doing

Ward's walks are a bit higher than I would like...

Ronny Simon since he switch and we like those guys (joking)

I feel like if we are going to take someone in the Rule 5, it will be another hope for Stephan or RH bat with power....

Nunez was solid at AA, but I to much bust there for me...



Noda is a left handed hitter though plus we really need a RH bat to mix in with Naylor. If this was 21, I would have said snag him, but he just doesn't fit what I believe we need (though I'm sure if they did snag him, we wouldn't really care that much lol

Of that list, I think the position players I would choose is Cam Devanney... He has been introduced to 1B and LF, but I think a full spring learning 1B, I think he could fit in...

no shit sherlock.. this is about the Rule V pickup by any team.. not just the Guardians..

If they do decide to add via the Rule 5, it looks pretty wide open to me. I like your thoughts on adding a catcher and on paper that makes a lot of sense. But if they do end up drafting, regardless of who is available I think they go pitching. After Stephan's success maybe they're tempted to give it another go, or not. I think the only thing that would truly surprise me at this point is if they cleared another spot just to draft 2 players.

I don't need to let things go when I didn't start the silly situation, you spun it your own way, while I did it my way. To each our own lol
