Which with a receiving line, one man out in the top of the eighth and the phils up 3. The braves bull pen has been good over the last week or so but theyve been overused. Four in game two and now five here tonight as the right hander ryan weber is the new pitcher. In his sixth ball game. 9. 2 e. R. A. Maikel franco. And hes coming out with the bases loaded and one man down. I wonder if the braves will make any moves. Cervenka looked like he was gassed tonight. He walked four in this game. First pitch to franco.

History tells us that’s unlikely to happen. While a solid percentage of Rule 5 picks get at least some big league time the season following their selection, it’s not so easy to stick around for an entire year. Below is the last Rule 5 selection (or player traded for immediately following the Rule 5 Draft) for each team to stick with that team all year. This was no small task, as we had to go digging far into the past to find a player who fit the bill for some teams.
