Baltimore Orioles: Does the Rule 5 Draft hurt players that are selected?
The Rule 5 Draft held after the Winter Meetings concluded yesterday and the Baltimore Orioles selected two infielders: Richie Martin and they acquired Drew Jackson
With the Baltimore Orioles selection of Richie Martin, it seems like they might go with him at shortstop and keep Jonathan Villar at second base in 2019, unless another addition is made during the offseason or if an injury happens.
My one question about the Rule 5 Draft is this: is it really good for these players selected?
