We've apparently already made a pick: Reegie Corona, out of the Yankees org. Light hitting shortstop, but I don't know much more about him beyond that.
More as we get it, of course.
Update: Dave thinks he's the new Willie Bloomquist.
Another update: What the hell his name is Reegie?
Another pick: Patrick Ryan, in the AAA portion of the draft, out of the Brewers. Strong groundballer but his strikeouts fell off a cliff in AA last year after being extremely effective in A+ in '07.
Yet Another Pick/Trade: In exchange for cash, we acquired Jose Lugo from the Twins via the Royals. Lugo's never been above High-A but he's a groundballer with good strikeout rates.

Doesn't RuleV mean they have to be on the 25?
Or does AAA portion mean you have to keep him there instead?

Yes
Jeff Sullivan - December 11, 2008
But it still requires a 40man spot, right?
Faux - December 11, 2008
No, I don't think so
Jeff Sullivan - December 11, 2008
Rule 5

I wish everyone would stop arguing about this
I mean really, who cares.
Did you go around yelling at the movie studio for Rocky V?

Yes
but not about the roman numeral as the human rights violations.
Bearskin Rugburn - December 11, 2008
that is missing a few words.

Well...
Rule 5 and Rule V are two completely different things. It’s like referring to a car as a motorcycle. Both are forms of transportation, but in the end, they are two totally different things.

Is there an actual Rule V in the book?
Teej - December 11, 2008
Well, Rocky V was actually called Rocky V. MLB uses a 5, so there's really no reason to use the Roman numeral.
Stupid thing to argue about, though. There’s no actual Rule V to get it confused with(as far as I know), and it’s become so common that it’s pointless to try to stop people from using it.

Pedants of the world, unite!
(I say this, of course, as one of them; “Rule V” irritates me.)

You may not understand this
But V is a roman numeral that stands for five.
TheEmrys - December 11, 2008
That -means- five.

I'm gonna call it the Authority Cinco Enrollment.

V is also a letter.
