I keep seeing comments saying "where's Adolis Garcia?" but he's not a Rule 5 Draft guy lol

Best waiver claims of the last decade? Just an idea.

Akil Baddoo deserves at least a few minutes, if not a full video imo. Genuine ALROY candidate after never playing above A+

the greatest rule 5 pick of all time was Roberto Clemente

Had to bring up Brooks Kriske man 😭😭

Shane Victorino was an amazing rule 5 pick for the Phillies

You missed 2 important details: Rule 5 eligibility is for players with 4+ years in the minors and no mlb service and only players over 24, and in order to keep them, they must spend an entire season on the 26-man roster unless injured, with rule 5 status carrying to new team in a trade.

Roberto Clemente was a Rule 5 draft pick. He was originally a Dodger(I think).

About Whitlock. He's been a multi inning guy this year and the Red Sox see him as a starter down the line, possibly as soon as next year. Inheriting the closer role seems unlikely.

Best PTBNL in trades in the last decade.

Gotta have some love for John Brebbia. Was a Cardinals Rule 5 pick from the Yankees, I think. Was a great middle relief, set-up guy until he had TJ surgery.

The up and down Career of steve Pierce from multiple DFA to WS MVP. IJS

I’m late but Michael king glow up this year and whitlock glow down is so litty

Props to you for including Cortes in that thumbnail

Hector Rondon

Best draft picks from the 10th round and later would be cool, highlighting some of the best diamonds in the rough

Never knew this was even a thing! Great vid

Yo jolly, you should check out matt olsen's 2017 season. he had 1.003 ops in 59 games. out of his 49 hits, 24 of them were home runs!!49% of his hits were home runs. that's crazy! he had a 166 ops+ and had a .392 ISO. that could be a cool video

I need Brooks Kriske to never appear in a Yankee uniform ever again

Best PTNBL’s of all time. Like Michael Brantley in the CC Sabathia trade

The 2018 rule 5 draft was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen they draft an 18 y/o whose only eligible because of a technicality, and he stays and contributes positively, and now the Jays have a young arm that can properly develop. Then Travis Bergen was taken in the draft, who was returned mid season, and promptly flipped the next year for Robbie Ray, and then re-acquired. Then as mentioned Romano was taken then returned and became an elite closer. Fun fact about Romano is that he was never supposed to be a starter, like he never even started a single game in College, and his 2014 season in the minors the reason he was made a starter was, was to get him the innings he needed after missing 2015 with Tommy John, and because in the minors you can succeed with 2 elite pitches as a starter, CHW and TEX got tricked into thinking he was a starter, and for some reason didn't want to give him a shot in the bullpen, worked out pretty well for the Jays I'd say. All told for the 2018 Rule 5 draft the Jays came away with a promising still very young arm, an elite closer, a CY Young winner and the compensation pick for said CY Young winner departing.

Omar Narvaes is a White Sox fan favorite since he was bearable to watch when we were trash.

what about top 5 one team wonders: Guys who played out their entire career in one city and really became that city; and then conversely the top 5 who we though would stay put but left, EG: Ken Griffey Jr, Anthony Rizzo, etc.

absolutely do a part 2

I’m glad Garret Whitlock is on this list. The Yankees screwed up by not protecting him

Good to see that you too are a Nestor Truther

Ryan Flaherty mvp 2012 O’s rule 5 guy

Fuzzy watching this video:😢

Shane Victorino!!

Going back through these videos through the months has been great except to see the NFT sponsor. Thats sad.

They really need to make some changes to the Rule 5 draft. Last year the Angels lost Jose Soriano to the Pirates. He was recovering from Tommy John surgery. I guess the Pirates decided to have him pitch way too soon and he needed another Tommy John surgery. The Angels got him back recently but how much time will he miss now? If a pitcher in the minors has Tommy John surgery everything should freeze for them. All that should matter is getting them back to being able to pitch. They should also stay on the 60 Day IL until they're healthy.

Some of the other rules for the Rule 5 draft are: You cannot have played in the MLB at any point, only MiLB. (Idk if this is still true, but it used to be) You must have spent at least 4years in the minors if you were drafted at 19 or older, five if 18 or under. You have to have at least 90 days of active service of your new team to stick with them, unless you were injured, and even then you are expected to pick it up where you left off the next season you are cleared to play.

Best international signings

RULE 5 FOR LIFE

Odubel Herrera snubbed

I was hoping to see Jays reliever Joe Biagini. He had a good season in 2015 when he was claimed from the Giants

great vid bro!

babe wake up, another jolly olive banger dropped

Nasty Nestor is a GOD.

Great video

Odubel Herrera was a rule 5 pick in 2015. He was an all star in 17 and been a decent mlb player

He's had a bad season but Brad Keller was a great rule 5 draft find.

If you wanna go back further you can say that Jose Bautista, however he had more success in Toronto and not Baltimore.

GARETT WHITLOCKKKK

You should do compensation picks

Last year the Oriole's Anthony Santander was in running for AL MVP before he lost the last month or so of the season to an injury. In 2021 his production's suffered primarily due to more injuries, but when he's healthy, he can rake. He also has an above-average throwing arm from right field. If he can stay on the field, next year could be a breakout one for him. Tyler Wells, who the O's selected in last year's Rule 5 from the Twins, is someone to watch. He's flown under the radar a bit. He won Minnesota's 2018 Minor League Starting Pitcher Award, then missed 2019 due to Tommy John surgery, and last year because the minor league season was shut down. The 6'8" right-hander was decent before the break, finishing with a 4.10 ERA, but he's really flourished since then, having yet to give up an earned run in 10.2 IP. On Sunday he earned his first save, and it wasn't a cheapie, getting a one-two-three ninth at Yankee Stadium against Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Anthony Rizzo to seal an 8-7 win against a team still in the playoff hunt. His stuff (heater that reaches the high '90s, wipeout slider) is good enough that there's been talk about putting him in the rotation next year, but he's also valuable in a late-inning role. So, thanks for the video, and, yeah, a follow-up or two might be in order at some point (you can always hold one back for the winter meetings). Also, doing a historical Rule 5 video would be interesting, because it includes Hall of Fame players: www.mlb.com/news/complete-history-of-the-mlb-rule-5-draft-c210225288

Another Mets fan

For anyone into mlb the show franchise mode a must take in the rule 5 draft is seth beer. Hes always available and always competes for rookie of the year

Great video and great mets gear!

In regards to the intro of the video… isn’t the entire point of the rule 5 draft that drafted players have to be on the club’s major league roster?

How can you not mention the greatest rule 5 of all time Roberto Clemente?

Josh Hamilton was a Rule 5 pick

You missed the fact that there are most nuances to the section pool: Players signed at age 18 or younger need to be added to their club's 40-Man roster within five seasons or they become eligible for the Rule 5 Draft, Players who signed at age 19 or older need to be protected within four seasons.

8:19 josh jonaldson lmao

Top 10 no. 1 prospects who turned their career around.

Haven't watched it yet but if Mark Canha isn't near the top...

I’m glad u didn’t pick baddoo or adolis Garcia

A correction, every rule 5 draft player makes the majors. If you draft a player, you must play them in the majors, of you send them to the minors you have to sell them to their former team for half the price you bought them

How about the best pitchers to win a silver slugger

Nester Cortes looks more like a plumber than a pitcher, but the dude is the #1 starter on the Yankees right now.

Garrett Whitlock

"While the Yankees bullpen is already good"...it is?

Odubel Herrera?!?!?

NASTY NESTOR

What adolis Garcia where you at bruh

Hope Yohel Pozo from the Rangers is on this list someday 🙏🏼

Brad Keller is an interesting case with the rule 5

Best non-tendered players?

I’m pausing at 09 seconds to say if Whitlock isn’t on this list I’ll be disappointed. Garret Whitlock has been lights out rookie of the year type pitcher for the Boston Red Sox this season.

Though he doesn’t fit the video title, the best Rule 5 draftee is Josh HamiltonS

What happened to Brady Aiken? Odd draft situations

Glad Jolly snuck in a Yankees jab it’s rare us Mets fans get to do that lmao

We should find the one person who disliked this and cut him. DFA joke

Ace nasty nestor

This video made me even more mad at the Yankees for the garret whitlock decision

You poorly discribed the rules of the rule 5 draft.... if a team does not want to keep the player drafted on their active major league roster, if they wanna send them down to the minors they have to offer them back to the original team

Whitlock has damn well been the Red Sox most reliable bullpen arm throughout this entire season.

Why the fuck is Akil Baddoo not on this list

Damn nft stuff is disappointing, hope he's realized what a scam those were

Bullpen already good do you follow the Yankees our bullpen sucks

Personally I think Brooks Kriske is the greatest pitcher of all time and the Yankees definitely made the right choice in protecting him

Another great vid

Standout vid! New sub incoming :)

Whitlock gets zero credit for how great he has been since joining the Sox. Basically came out of nowhere to be one of the best relievers in the league

Marwin Gonzalez 🤢

Had to skip Marwin Gonzalez, i dont want to watch any bit on a cheating player.

They really kept Kriske over Whitlock. Cashman is a disgrace
