So https://www.mlb.com/news/previewing-the-2022-rule-5-draft?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage&partnerId=zh-20221207-775810-mlb-1-A&qid=1026&utm_id=zh-20221207-775810-mlb-1-A&bt_ee=BQWizyI5dUcK46fDYqQYJObSzTdreO49dyxTkFC%2FGBzyTmWCgJJix6u506dSIfBF&bt_ts=1670425902618the Rule 5 draft is going down today.



If I were a betting man, I'd heavily wager the Mets try to get a bullpen guy today, if such a dude is available at #27.



Do we lose anyone? https://www.mlb.com/news/possible-rule-5-draft-selections-each-mlb-club?t=mlb-pipeline-coverageThese fellas say Mangum is our best, unprotected guy. I hope we don't lose the Neutral Milk Hotel guy.

Mets draft RH starter Zach Greene from the MFYs and don't lose anyone in round 1.

I like the K/9 but my guy's gotta cut down on the free passes if he wants to stay on the right team

Looks like the minor league portion is done now. We nabbed a few guys and lost just one, if I https://www.mlb.com/news/rule-5-draft-results-2022?partnerID=mlbapp-iOS_article-shareread it right.

Because the Phillies only shop at the Mets Used Good Store, they drafted our Trey Cobb (RHP) in the 5th round.

Fangraphs on Zach Greene:

[bLOCKQUOTE]Greene sets up on the extreme first base side of the rubber and has an open stride down the mound, clearing his front side and enabling him to have a nearly perfect north/south arm slot from a drop-and-drive style delivery. It creates huge carry on his fastball and helps it blow past hitters at the letters even though it only sits 90-92. Greene's slider and changeup are both average, and his changeup seemed to take a significant step forward late in 2022. He looks like a three-pitch middle reliever.[/bLOCKQUOTE]
