Toolshed: 2018 Rule 5 Draft preview

I liked Dom Nunez based on what I read, best combination of bat, defense and ML readiness, IMO

Wow just ate all that money

I really liked Pereda when I read about him the other day. I believe he was one of the ones you brought up last month as well.

Many will see the wisdom in the trade of Robinson.

I definitely see the irony in Brandon McCarthy being named as Special Assistant to JD.

He has only hit more than 15 once in the minors.

But read strikeouts are high. Guess we need RHBs but he might be up and down with his options intact

Some of these guys are more than placeholders

They really turned against Robinson. He must have made someone in the organization mad. I know some fans had given up on him, but usually the organization doesn't that quickly. I wondered why we didn't see more of him as the season wore down.

I am glad they are considering Dutch.

No Perez or Holland. Like Bakersfield, Cal, seen it once is enough.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

I have no problem bringing Dutch back

I don't see the conspiracy theory against Drew. To me it is just moving a LHB for a RHB with a lot of control left.

I thought the same thing with Rua.

I wouldn't call it a conspiracy. I just think someone important was not happy about something he did or said.

The LHB for RHB I think is an oversimpliification. Does a 70 win team really need to balance the team by changing out a backup player for another one? When they are ready to win 90 plus games they can concern themselves with such things, but it seems a little early to be concerned now.

Drew was more useful due to being able to play more positions and seemed to be a better hitter in the minors. Add to that the fact that he did really well went sent down the last time.

It does seem that he made someone upset about something. It reminds me of when they parted company with Benoit. That seemed personal roo.

As far as the future goes, there may or may not be much of a future for Drew, but I can't see much of one for Mr. Wisdom.
