The St. Louis Cardinals have approximately 50 players in their organization who could call another organization home after tonight’s Rule 5 Draft. The way to protect a player from being claimed by another team is to move said player onto the 40-man roster.
Oh, and before we move on, let me point out that the St. Louis Cardinals currently have five slots open on the 40-man.
So, who is eligible for Rule 5 and who should be saved?
First in my book is Patrick Wisdom. The dude had a stellar year in 2017 and had many people wondering why he wasn’t called up to the majors.
