Last week, the Brewers made their 40-man roster decisions for prospects to protect from the rule 5 draft. They elected to protect 4 prospects: shortstop Mauricio Dubon, catcher Jacob Nottingham, and RHPs Freddy Peralta and Marcos Diplan. For news like this, it wasn’t the players that were protected that caught everyone’s attention. It’s the players that were not protected. In his article last week, Kyle mentioned five of them:
Among the recognizable names left off the roster were former 1st-round pick Clint Coulter, former org #1 prospect Tyrone Taylor, AAA players Nate Orf and Kyle Wren, and righty Devin Williams, a once-promising young arm currently recovering from Tommy John surgery.
