Wow wasn't Rondon considered a decent prospect at one time?

Also Lobstein was a 2nd round pick just a few years ago. I'm surprised the Rays didn't protect him

Looks as though the Mets are going to trade Lobstein to the Tigers, according to Jonathan Mayo.

DBacks grabbed Peralta from the Cubs. He finally started to show some promise last year. If I remember right he even made the BA Hot Sheet. I guess they'll stash him away for later

Rangers where trying to convert him to Catcher a season or 2 ago. Has a good bat and decent glove at 3B.

Sucks to see McGuiness The Citidal go to Cleveland, add him to the long list of 1B who leave the Rangers to become stars while they can't seem to be 100% happy with who they play there every year.

I am pretty happy with the Cubs grabbing Rondon!

I agree. I saw a lot of Cubs "fans" complaining about this yesterday on various Facebook pages but don't understand why. Nothing better than a low risk high reward type player and Rondon fits the bill

Needs to stay healthy.

Is there a link to the complete list of the Rule V draft and the trades afterwards ? Can't seem to locate one on the web anywhere :(
