Rule 5 draft preview: The pitchers

Teams have assembled in San Diego for the Winter Meetings, which will conclude Thursday following the Rule 5 draft. The Royals have acquired four players in the last two drafts - all pitchers - the most notable being Brad Keller. With four open spots on the 40 man roster, expect them to at least make one selection this week, most likely another arm. Here are some of the names they’ll be looking at.

Potential starters

Misiewicz is a 24-year old left-hander who was drafted by the Mariners, traded to the Rays in a minor four-player deal, then reacquired by the Mariners for international slot money.
