Best Rule 5 Pick Up?

JohnnyBench · 03-03-2005, 08:36 AM

Hey Guys,

I usually don't pick up any players during the rule 5 draft. My roster is usually pretty full and the idea of having to keep the rule 5 draftees on the Roster the whole season scares me away. Plus the quality of player in the Rule 5 draft usually doesn't fit my needs.

However, in my fictional league. I needed a number 5 starter. My finances were already through the roof. I picked up a pitcher named Willy Harris from the rule 5 draft. His Ratings were: Stuff "5"; Control "4" ; Movement "5". I knew that he wouldn't be much but could give my real starters some needed rest.

He finished the year.....18-7 with a 4.08 era. No Cy Young Winner, but impressive! What has been your best Rule 5 acquisition?
