I guess the guys I wanted were protected before the draft?

[Sully]

Probably. I had 4 or 5 on my list. None drafted by anyone. They were obvious choices.

[Matt]

Wilmington - List exhausted
Denver - LF Alex Saldiver
Morgantown - C Alex Gonzalez
Toronto - List exhausted

I guess the OF'er out of NY ended up being protected... that was the only guy I had on my list.

Edit: Really, Prez? Ted Self... Ugh.

[Spear]

Probably. I had 4 or 5 on my list. None drafted by anyone. They were obvious choices.

Yeah I had a few more guys too. Carolina's Shane Borrows and Washington's Cy Gray. They must have protected them.

Denver - SP Tommy Cunningham
Morgantown - List exhausted
Baltimore - List exhausted


Round 4

Four Rule V guys for Denver? Wow!

[Matt]

I guess the guys I wanted were protected before the draft?

Yes. A lot of players were. The downside of skipping a sim but the upside of not having a revolt for every Rule 5 draft and making the off-season faster.

Yeah I had a few more guys too. Carolina's Shane Borrows and Washington's Cy Gray. They must have protected them.

Cy Gray was another trade error by the commish. He is on the Active roster but doesn't show on the 40 man because I botched it originally like the DVS/Car.

Not really a downside--just wanted to clarify.

[Spear]

Most successful Rule 5 ever.

[Matt]

I hope you all enjoyed this year's Rule 5 draft, we will now begin FA.

[Sully]

Four Rule V guys...looks to be another fun year in Denver.

[Carlos]

I had 8 or 9 guys on my list so consider yourselves lucky!

Really glad to land these names. We need the depth even if they are AAA players.

This was our free agency. Yay.
