Graves, Escobar, Pan, Anthony, Rincon, and Heredia are top 30 prospects in our system.

Five of the six guys were apart of the AA title team could see them putting them all on the 40 man to protect them especially Rincon.

But if they're on the 40 man they are subject to the lockout. FO in a rough position here.

I hope mlb is lenient and make adjustments because we aren’t only team with this issue as well.

They’re not putting anyone but Rincon, Escobar, and Graves on the 40 man but the rule 5 draft probably isn’t happening anyways.

First off rule 5 draft is not happening this year.

Rincon will for sure be added and should be competing for a spot on the big league team

Graves looked great after he moved to bullpen

Yeah it won’t happen but theoretically Rincon, Graves, and Escobar are the guys who should be added.

Holy shit we can’t afford to have a 7 year bottleneck at SS.

I feel like they have to do something with Turner to the outfield cause at this point they're probably going to be giving Miller and Rincon chances with the big club as a necessity if they limit payroll with any type of cap.

Rincon is literally now a MLB Top 100 prospect who looks like he just had a breakout year on the very side of the ball that caused him to get drafted in the 14th round

They would cut 2 players to get him on the 40

A few of them they obviously have to protect, but I think the reality is there’s very little chance most of this group gets rule fived let alone actually sticks at the mlb level in their new org for an entire season
