AZPhil with an early org Rule V roundup:

Kind of have to protect Underwood here. Unless he's completely cooked, can't really risk some rebuilding team stashing him at the end of the pen and/or the DL.

 

Only others I'd really protect are Caratini, Paulino, and Pena. Not sure what to make of Rivero. He's been consistent for some years now, but the fact that he's never even entered into the big league discussion makes me wonder.

 

I could see Blackburn and/or Zaz selected, and while you hate to lose cheap rotation depth when you don't have much to begin with, you can't protect everyone.

 

Radamacher could be used as a trade throw in, or he could be selected and become maybe Brandon Guyer. Or not.

Without checking his splits, there's a pretty good chance Zaz (I like the nickname) becomes a serviceable pen lefty.
