Considering the slim pickings, he's definitely my top choice. Theres also an 3B prospect named Kevin Ahrens in the Blue Jays system. Considering that we have the smallest 40 man, makes me wonder why we didn't protect a few more guys like Jackson, Flaherty, and Rhee, unless they'd planned on a few more signings by now. Also, I don't know if anyone else caught this but Marwin Gonzalez isn't listed in the Cubs guys. Oversite by them or could he not be eligible? Another thing, Esmailen Caridiad is listed as eligible, but he spent parts of 2 seasons on a big league roster. Major league service time has nothing to do with rule 5. Andy Fox had spent parts of the previous 8 seasons in the majors when he signed a minor league contract with the Rangers in November '03. The Expos drafted him in Rule 5 3 weeks later.
