Anyone remotely interesting eligible for Rule 5 draft?

[badnews]

I haven't kept up to date on this at all so I wanted to hear if there are any interesting names out there.

 

I don't see Brian Barton on the Indians 40 man. Apparently he had 28 HBP in 106 games at Double A this year.

 

It looks like Chris Lubanski was left off the Royals 40 man. I don't think he has much of a chance of sticking on anyone's active roster all year though.

 

EDIT: Someone pointed out Barton isn't eligible. I made the mistake of looking at his age and assuming he would be.

Lubanski would be nice, but I don't see him sticking on the roster all season.

 

Pardon my ignorance, but when is the draft? Usually in December right?

I think it's on the last day of the Winter Meetings.

throw Lubanski in centerfield or right. He'll be better than what we had last year. Supposedly he has dealt with a lot of injuries that have hampered his play the last couple years.

Didn't have great numbers at AAA this season, but I definitely wouldn't mind taking a flier on him.

 

Are there any interesting players we didnt protect? Is there a thread already that I didn't bother looking for b/c I'm lazy?
