Cards HAVE TO protect Bernal, Baez and Mautz, right?

At a minimum. What do you think about Pete Hansen and Cooper Hjerpe?

Yes, and IMO they will also protect the other two players on that top 30 list, LHP Cooper Hjerpe and 1B-3B Blaze Jordan.

They aren't doing a prospect who isn't ready for MLB a favor by taking him in the rule 5 and then sitting him on the bench all season. Those guys need to play.

If they pick a player from the MLB portion of the R5 draft, they'll play....last example Ryan Fernandez in December 2023. He didn't "sit on the on the bench all season"

37 on the 40man roster as of this moment.

to protect more they'd have to do more trimming....will they?

Blaze Jordan, Hancel Rincon, Max Rajcic, Pete Hansen, Randel Clemente, Cooper Hjerpe, Ramon Mendoza, Austin Love...all at risk of being selected if not protected.

Jordan and Rajcic will have the MLB protection...I think...so a team selecting them would have to keep them on the their 26man MLB roster all year long. Not sure how Hjerpe, Mautz and Hansen will be declared by Tuesday.... on the AAA or on the AA roster

IMO ~ I think we lose Rincon, Mendoza, Clemente, Love and Hansen to the Draft in December. I'm not sure if we protect Hjerpe...will a team protect him and stash him on their 26 man all year while is in need of rehabbing? That's medical malfeasance.

I hope they don't protect Rajcic. I hope they do protect Rincon. Would protect Hjerpe if I thought another team would take him. I would have to think about Jordan and Hansen. Indifferernt about the others.

I meant to type "Draft Hjerpe"....not "Protect Hjerpe".

Should see some trades in MLB over the next couple of days.
Teams can't protect everyone, and we should see some trades as teams seek some value in return versus exposing players with a high likelihood of being claimed.

[cardstatman]

Guys still on the roster who could be dropped to make room for R5 protection or other additions...

Roycroft
Robberse
Raquet
King
Alcala
Koperniak
Pozo

others?

I'm afraid we are at risk of transmitting Hjerpes if we don't use protection.

Very good, sir

who would take Hjerpe? Isn't the rule that anyone selected has to be added to and remain on the other team's 40 man or they come back to us? Teams aren't just going to draft long shots that aren't worth a 40 man slot.
