Dan Duquette is a big fan of Rule 5 draft. The Orioles current roster is littered with products of the process, including two outfielders that were plucked from other organizations just this past December. Anthony Santander came over from Cleveland, and Aneury Tavarez joined from the Red Sox. The Birds should be able to hide Santander on the disabled list for at least a month. But Tavarez, on the other hand, has remained fit and done his best to light up the box score this spring in a push to earn a big league spot.
