Last week, we looked at how the Pittsburgh Pirates should approach the Rule 5 Draft. They also have a handful of players who will be eligible for the draft.
The Rule 5 Draft will be here before you know it. The Pittsburgh Pirates, like any team, will have to face some decisions on who to protect and who to leave eligible to be selected for the draft. Any player that was signed when they were 18 and have at least five professional seasons under their belt, or any player that was signed when they were 19 and have at least four professional seasons under their belt, and not on the 40-man roster are eligible to be selected.
