Minor league season is almost in the books. I must say, I feel better about the whole system than I did at the beginning of the season. We drafted some really interesting players, traded for a few, and maybe most importantly- it seems like we had some prospects who seemed stalled out make good strides. (Don't tell me this coaching stuff really works!) I'm thinking of Mautz, Baez, and even Chase Davis since the All-Star break. Who else?

[82birds]

do I assume correctly that Mautz is one of those that need to be protected from the Rule 5 ?

Yes. Pete Hansen too. I'm wondering if they will protect Pete?

Think they will, but what do i know. Plenty of dead wood on the forty man roster to cut and make room for these kids.

if they don't he's gone...if Trent Baker gets swiped on last year's Rule 5, then Hansen is probably taken 1st pick, imo.

Not sure how they work it out...Baez needs protecting, too. Rajcic as well...though I don't know if they protect him. And let's not forget about Mr. Elbow, Hjerpe

yep, yep...I hope people understand why JJ was held back...gotta protect a lot of people...then come the end of Spring Training, they'll add him...hopefully. But this winter, they need the roster space.

It is always good when your #9 hitter goes 1 for 6 (and it is not an extra inning game).
