Rule Five Draft results are in......
The Rangers lost no players in the major league phase of today's Rule 5
Draft (meaning players like Drew Meyer, Ruddy Yan, Jesse Carlson, Kelvin
Jimenez, Vincent Sinisi, and John Hudgins remain Texas property) and --
officially -- made no selections themselves, though they did make the trade
that was originally reported by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, sending
infielder Esteban German to Kansas City for the first overall pick in the
draft, White Sox Class A lefthander Fabio Castro.
You can read more about Castro in this morning's Newberg Report.
In the AAA phase of the draft, Texas lost utility man Cameron Coughlan to
Oakland and added three players: outfielders Alexi Ogando and Jayce Tingler
and lefthander Estelin Soto. Unlike the big league phase of the draft, the
minor league phases don't carry any roster requirements, and so Coughlan is
lost to the A's and Ogando, Tingler, and Soto are now Ranger property.
Ogando is pretty interesting.
More in the next Newberg Report.
