Tigers Lose Skelton in Rule 5 Draft
Bless You Boys —
Would it be an exaggeration to say that Tiger Town's worst Rule 5 draft nightmare happened this afternoon? Perhaps, but it hasn't been a fun 16-18 hours for those who value the Detroit Tigers' young talent highly. Catcher James Skelton was taken with the 15th selection by the Arizona Diamondbacks.
When Skelton was left off Detroit's 40-man roster last month, we had some good discussion here at BYB over whether or not the Tigers could be facing a big mistake. Some thought it was a risk worth taking because no other ...

... The Wes Littleton trade was finalized as the Rangers got minor league righty reliever Beau Vaughn, automatically doubling the number of "Beaus" in the Rangers farm system in the last year and a half. Vaughn is 27 and is tall at 6-4. Good, but not mind-blowing nubmers. Picture is good, too. **** The Rule 5 draft took place with the Rangers taking Giants catcher Elio Sarmiento. No one took a Rangers minor leaguer that was eligible. **** Deal I would've sought: The Tampa Bay Rays traded pitcher Edwin Jackson to the Tigers for ...

The Giants were all over the Rule 5 draft today. Here are the players the Giants chose, and the ones who got away.
Gained
Luis Perdomo rhp (from the Cardinals)
Matt Yourkin lhp (Marlins)
Perdomo is a 24–year-old who All-Starred in Single-A this year before a promotion to Double-A and a trade from Cleveland to St. Louis. Seems he throws hard (lots of strikeouts) with shaky control (lots of walks). He’s now on the 40–man ...
