Many Former Wizards Eligible for Rule 5 Draft
Tomorrow is the 2008 edition of the Rule 5 Draft. In addition to the large list of San Diego Padres players who will be up for the taking, many former Wizards are in the farm systems of other clubs. There are too many to list given that relatively few will actually get plucked from their current clubs (though many are predicting that there will be more action this year than in previous years due to the currrent economic climate).
If you are wondering about any players who might possible be exposed to being drafted, Baseball America has published a definitive list by team. Of course, I’ll do my best to report any selections that impact former Wizards or local baseball ties.
Among those local ties is Colorado farmhand, Jarret Grube (DeKalb) and San Francisco Giants minor league Simon Klink (Canterbury).
