Let’s take a look at how the Rule 5 Draft can help (or hurt) the Braves

It’s draft day at the MLB Winter Meetings.

Thursday, Dec. 13 at noon ET teams will have an opportunity to select one of the minor leaguers left unprotected when every Major League team set 40-man rosters back on Nov. 20. The Rule 5 Draft is one of the more interesting drafts in any sport, and while it’s lost a little luster the past few seasons, it has also sprung the careers of names like Dan Uggla, Odubel Herrera, and Marwin Gonzalez, giving these prospects a new look at a MLB career.

So what’s in store for the Braves on Thursday?
