*Not sure, kind of surprised me. However he was drafted in 2005
You figure we will add probably 1 catcher, 1 utility player and 3 pitchers ( 1 starter and 2 relievers) and we will probably cut F. The Lewis(I love that nickname) we will 3 spots on the 40 man roster available to "protect" prospects in the system. I find the only prospects i would even consider worth protecting are Neal, Pill, Snyder, Pucetas and Ford.
I only included a limited list of Rule 5 players, let me know if I left anyone notable off the list.
