Cade Winquest

[Talkin' Baseball]

Cade Winquest was claimed by the Yankees from the Cardinals roster in the Rule 5 draft. They had to pay the Cardinals 100K to do that, and have to keep him on the 26 man roster all season. If they fail to do so, the Cardinals can pay the Yankees 50K and take him back. Two questions- 1) Do you think the Yankees will keep him on the roster all season? 2) If they don't, do you think the Cardinals should reclaim him?

1) No.
2) Yes. Kyle Reis, whose opinions I respect, is a Cade Winquest believer. He thought Winquest should have been protected from the R5 draft.

It's interesting to see the difference in the depth for different teams in the minor leagues. In St Louis, Winquest was an unranked prospect. With the Yankees, he is #26.
