It’s that time of year again, when some concern must be given to protecting rule 5 eligible players. According to Baseball-Reference.com, the Angels currently have 35 people on their 40 man roster. We may need some of the empty roster spots for people like Gerrit Cole if everyone gets their wish for Christmas this year. The Rule 5 eligible guys everyone seems to think are the cream of the Angels crop are Luis Rengifo (already on the 40 man roster), Shortstop Leonardo Rivas, and right handed pitchers Luis Pena and Joe Gatto.
Who Should the Angels Protect from the Rule 5 Draft?
