His success with Minnesota, which included two Cy Young Awards as well as top-five finishes in two other seasons, stands as one of the great Rule 5 success stories. To say that players like Santana are Rule 5 outliers, however, would be an understatement. To illustrate this point, here are the top 10 Rule 5 selections made from 1999-2012. The Post-Draft WAR column refers to a player’s Wins Above Replacement in the season after he was drafted, when a team had to keep him on its major league roster, while Years and Total WAR are the seasons spent with the drafting team and the total WAR accumulated with that team. No Player, Pos., Team Draft Post-Draft WAR Years Total WAR 1. Johan Santana, lhp, Twins 1999 0.1 8 35.5 Two Cy Young Awards, three all-star appearances with the Twins, but only 0.1 WAR in 2000, as his restriction year was spent primarily in the bullpen. 2. Josh Hamilton, of, Reds 2006 2.5 1 2.5 After missing essentially four straight seasons, he surprisingly contributed to the Reds in 2007, after which they traded him to the Rangers for Edinson Volquez and Danny Ray Herrera. Hamilton racked up 22.1 WAR and won the 2010 MVP award in five years in Texas. 3. Dan Uggla, 2b, Marlins 2005 3.0 5 15.5 The power-hitting second baseman averaged 31 homers and made two all-star teams in five seasons with the Marlins. 4. Joakim Soria, rhp, Royals 2006 2.4 5 12.5 The Royals pulled off a Hail Mary with the selection of Soria, whom they scouted in the Mexican Pacific League that winter. He made a pair of all-star teams and saved 160 games in five seasons with Kansas City. 5. Everth Cabrera, ss, Padres 2008 1.4 5 5.9 Plucked out of low Class A, Cabrera claimed the NL stolen-base crown in 2012 (44) and served as San Diego’s primary starter at shortstop in three of the past five seasons. 6. Darren O’Day, rhp, Rangers 2008 2.4 3 4.6 The sidewinding reliever contributed 4.6 WAR in three seasons in the Texas bullpen and matched that total with the Orioles after Baltimore claimed him on waivers following the 2011 season. 7. Luis Ayala, rhp, Expos 2002 1.8 5 5.1 A four-year veteran of the Mexican League, Ayala served as a workhorse reliever for the Expos/Nationals, logging 70-plus innings four times with a high of 90. 8. Jay Gibbons, of, Orioles 2000 0.9 7 6.1 The corner outfielder had some big power seasons for the Orioles, typically as a league-average bat. 9. Jared Burton, rhp, Reds 2006 1.2 5 2.5 Though his stint in Cincinnati ended with two injury-plagued years, Burton pitched to a 1.34 WHIP and 2.0 SO/BB ratio in the first three seasons. 10. Four-way tie A quartet of Rule 5 picks has contributed to postseason clubs the past three years: utility infielder Michael Martinez (2011 Phillies), lefty reliever Joe Paterson (2011 D-backs), second baseman Ryan Flaherty (2012 Orioles) and first baseman Nate Freiman (2013 Athletics). All filled very specific, minor roles on good teams and thus logged low WAR totals. .......... ---------- 後面不錯,舊文還是貼,文多自點聯結 --
