Doug has a nice article where he suggests two possible fits for the Reds as rule 5 draft picks.
He also points out that with a 26 man roster, it might be easier to carry a rule 5 guy.
Reds are at 39 players, so they have room to add one.

Oh I made it "Rule 5".. for Doug, since it's his article, I thought I would be nice to him

Nice article.
Let’s get Gose and let him and Lorenzen just keep swapping back and forth, pitcher to outfield, depending on the handedness of the batter - ha!
Yeah I know the new rule coming (3 batter minimum) - but is there any loophole for a guy like Lorenzen who would (could) go out to the outfield after a single batter?
REDREAD (12-09-2019)
that is interesting....will the rule be only when bringing a new player into the game or any change of pitcher? I assume the latter, but not sure. As long as they did not need warm up pitches, and just quickly switched, it would seem to be ok within the spirit of the rule which is to reduce slowing the pace of games.Originally Posted by kaldaniels
Reds at risk for losing any talent?
Define talent.
They'll probably have a couple of guys drafted.
No clue as to whether they'll be kept.
Doubtful.
Just kidding.tal·ent
/ˈtalənt/
noun
1.
natural aptitude or skill.
"he possesses more talent than any other player"
Will the Reds lose any players fans at RedsZone will over analyze as being an organizational downfall?

Every player we lose to the rule 5 draft will obviously become HOFers within 20 years. But no commenter here would dare question whether it was a bad decision to expose them.. After all, why should we ever question the logic of our grand poobah of baseball operations? Why, the powers that be in the Reds organization have always been beyond reproach.. No? Well I can dream anyway.. OK, call it ignoring reality if you must. LOLJust kidding.

Reds select Mark Payton?
Interesting 28 year old lefty hitting OF with 30 homers and 1.053 OPS in AAA
Reds passed next round. It's over for Major league portion. I didn't catch all names but part I heard I didn't hear anyone snagged from Reds

I like Doug thinking outside the box with the Gose pick, but he’s risky and not just because of he’s pushing 30. Discipline and coach ability issues in both Detroit and Toronto http://bluejayhunter.com/2016/07/the...gose-saga.html

A graph so nice he posted it thrice.
I wonder if you liked Doug thinking...
Given this organization's utter vacuum at CF, except for switching a 2bman there unwisely, IMO, I think it's a serious mistake not to protect Freidl, who has a good chance, I think, of being taken. They're gambling that his only getting to AA and being injured last year will make teams shy away, and they may be right--I hope they are. But I think it's an unwarranted risk given Friedl's ability to play CF.
