The Reds 2013-2014 Drafts

[kinsm]

This coming winter the Reds will have to protect players from the Rule 5 draft, those of whom were drafted in 2013 out of HS and 2014 out of college (as well as any unprotected players in their system from earlier years). This list is not all encompassing, since it's missing international free agent signees who are also eligible.

This is a brief snapshot of those players not yet on the 40 man roster and still in the system from those 2 drafts.

Ben Lively is the only notable draftee from either of those 2 classes not currently still in the Reds system, the Reds 4th round selection in 2013 was traded to PHI on New Years Eve 2015 and is currently on their 40 man roster.

^ = Won't be eligible for the upcoming draft
* = Acquired via trade (4 of the 5 were eligible last season and were left unprotected)

[kinsm]

Due to injuries and complete failure of progression those 2 draft classes are very likely going to end up looking disastrous in hindsight.

[kinsm]

Earlier Jocketty drafts:

The 2012 class might be better, as it contains: Travieso, Winker, and Stephens (all of whom are on the 40 man roster).

The 2011 class may have the most upside, as it contains: Stephenson, Cingrani, Garrett, Romano, and Selsky (all of whom are on a 40 man roster).

The 2010 class could be the least productive, as it contains only Grandal.

The 2009 class has: Hamilton, Leake, Barnhart, and Boxberger.

and the 2008 class has: Alonso.

Too lazy to check as rarely you are wrong, but didn't realize Selsky was still in our system.

He's not (that's why it says "on a 40 man" - neither are Alonso/Grandal/Leake/Box), but he was.

Damn reading comprehension.

I only see Blandino, Mahle, and Long getting protected from that group. I still have hope for Strahan if he can get back to 100%, but no one is taking him in the rule 5 this winter. Antone just had TJ surgery. Lavalley isn't likely to be picked but could possibly be a bench guy in the Reds future. All in all, a couple of pretty lousy drafts. The Reds need to have a higher hit rate than that if they don't want to tear down and rebuild every 7-8 years with only 3-4 of those years being competitive.

If Crawford bounces back from his surgery "Finds himself" he'd be a lock. I could see Mitchell and Ehret being purchased, Mitchell possibly before the season is up.

[floydgator]

Lavalley should be protected over Blandino, imo
