    How can this be your Opening day lineup without including Reyes...
    No way he is not on the roster at 500K and could play 5 Positions...

    Reyes in, TJ out until someone gets hurt.

    I am amazed that Paul Sewald did not get selected, that not one team thought he would be of value to their major league team.

    Glad Phil Evans was not picked - a good gamble that just because he won AA batting title with barely enough at bats, sticking him on a major league roster for all of 2017 was a non-starter.

    Sooo.

    Mets threw away how many years to rebuild.....while the Yankees showed restraint for 2 years to rebuild.

    Yankees system strong enough now to lose 4 players in the major league phase of the Rule 5 Draft. Mets none.

    The Yankees go on to lose 3 more in the AAA phase. The Mets 2.

    They lost 2 minor leagues in the Triple A section. Left handed pitchers Adrian Almeida and Paul Paez

    Much ado about nothing.......Evans is AAAA filler and Sewald "might" become a middle relief pitcher in time.

    I didn't get some folks panicking about losing them.

    The "negative brigade" can move onto something else now, I guess. Like how Sandy didn't get anything done at the Winter Meetings (even though Spring Training is still two months away).

    Eddie -

    I simply forgot Reyes...

    Tom is right... Jose in, T.J. to AAA

    Yankees losing 4 guys in the major league Rule 5 is pretty incredible. Have to keep in mind that last year's pennant drive trades of pitchers kept us from losing several to the Rule 5 draft this year and last. We lost only Bowman last year, and to his credit, he did fine for Cards.
