The Rockies were forced to make some moves yesterday. Is there anything we can learn based on who got displaced from the 40 man roster? Or perhaps more importantly, who didn't get displaced from the 40 man roster.
Yesterday was the deadline day for teams to protect their minor league jewels ahead of next month's Rule 5 draft. The only way to do this is by placing them on the 40-man roster.
The players eligible for this draft the Rockies chose to protect were Trevor Story, Antonio Senzatela, Raimel Tapia, and Carlos Estevez.
