Re: The Official 'Who Do We Protect from the Rule Five Draft?' Thread
Just because they think he's one of the 5 best starters right now does not mean they think he'll still be that for next season, Protecting guys on the 40 man roster is not simply a matter of current performance, but also how the organization feels about their future.
I see no reason to protect Wells just because he may be their 5th best starter right now.If they feel younger guys may develop, plan to acquire other starters in the offseason, or feel that Wells or a similar guy will be available just like he was this year, it would be a pretty easy decision not to protect him.
