Re: Rule Five
Bowden wasn't even in the Reds organization when Young was drafted. At this point he's just doing it because he can.

Re: Rule Five
wouldn't be surprised if Ol' Leatherpants had a few more of those.

Re: Rule Five
He's got a decent arm but I don't think anyone expected him to get drafted, especially #1 overall. I think Bowden just views this as a way of getting back at the Reds. No big loss, the Reds probably have seven or eight better relief prospects than Young.

Re: Rule Five
Well, I figured they'd add a leftyfor the pen and bring in a couple of other relief arms from the outside for competition. Guess this is one of those

Re: Rule Five
I'm wondering if Jocketty thinks a deal can be worked out to keep in our system. That's purely conjecture on my part.

Re: Rule Five
Leatherpants is building his perfect ex-Red team by selecting right-hander Terrell Young with the first pick in the Rule 5 draft. Young was 1-2 with a 2.41 ERA for Class A Sarasota last season, where he pitched out of the bullpen. He certainly has a big arm and has done well since moving to the pen.
Also, the Reds selected RHP Dave Patton of the Rockies, but he will be traded to the Cubs. http://www.thelotd.com/ctrent/blog

Re: Rule Five
It will be interesting to see if we do anything in the minor league phases of the draft. I can't remember what we've done there the last few years.
