Top 10 Rule 5 Draft Success Stories, And How To Make The Rule 5 Matter Again
December 11, 2013 by Matt Eddy
This year’s Rule 5 draft will be the 15th since the Twins acquired Johan
Santana in the 1999 edition. His success with Minnesota, which included two
Cy Young Awards as well as top-five finishes in two other seasons, stands as
one of the great Rule 5 success stories.
To say that players like Santana are Rule 5 outliers, however, would be an
understatement.
To illustrate this point, here are the top 10 Rule 5 selections made from
1999-2012. The Post-Draft WAR column refers to a player’s Wins Above
Replacement in the season after he was drafted, when a team had to keep him
on its major league roster, while Years and Total WAR are the seasons spent
with the drafting team and the total WAR accumulated with that team.
No Player, Pos., Team Draft Post-Draft WAR Years Total WAR
1. Johan Santana, lhp, Twins 1999 0.1 8 35.5
Two Cy Young Awards, three all-star appearances with the Twins, but only 0.1
WAR in 2000, as his restriction year was spent primarily in the bullpen.
2. Josh Hamilton, of, Reds 2006 2.5 1 2.5
After missing essentially four straight seasons, he surprisingly contributed
to the Reds in 2007, after which they traded him to the Rangers for Edinson
Volquez and Danny Ray Herrera. Hamilton racked up 22.1 WAR and won the 2010
MVP award in five years in Texas.
3. Dan Uggla, 2b, Marlins 2005 3.0 5 15.5
The power-hitting second baseman averaged 31 homers and made two all-star
teams in five seasons with the Marlins.
4. Joakim Soria, rhp, Royals 2006 2.4 5 12.5
The Royals pulled off a Hail Mary with the selection of Soria, whom they
scouted in the Mexican Pacific League that winter. He made a pair of all-star
teams and saved 160 games in five seasons with Kansas City.
5. Everth Cabrera, ss, Padres 2008 1.4 5 5.9
Plucked out of low Class A, Cabrera claimed the NL stolen-base crown in 2012
(44) and served as San Diego’s primary starter at shortstop in three of the
past five seasons.
6. Darren O’Day, rhp, Rangers 2008 2.4 3 4.6
The sidewinding reliever contributed 4.6 WAR in three seasons in the Texas
bullpen and matched that total with the Orioles after Baltimore claimed him
on waivers following the 2011 season.
7. Luis Ayala, rhp, Expos 2002 1.8 5 5.1
A four-year veteran of the Mexican League, Ayala served as a workhorse reliever
for the Expos/Nationals, logging 70-plus innings four times with a high of 90.
8. Jay Gibbons, of, Orioles 2000 0.9 7 6.1
The corner outfielder had some big power seasons for the Orioles, typically as
a league-average bat.
9. Jared Burton, rhp, Reds 2006 1.2 5 2.5
Though his stint in Cincinnati ended with two injury-plagued years, Burton
pitched to a 1.34 WHIP and 2.0 SO/BB ratio in the first three seasons.
10. Four-way tie
A quartet of Rule 5 picks has contributed to postseason clubs the past three
years: utility infielder Michael Martinez (2011 Phillies), lefty reliever Joe
Paterson (2011 D-backs), second baseman Ryan Flaherty (2012 Orioles) and first
baseman Nate Freiman (2013 Athletics). All filled very specific, minor roles on
good teams and thus logged low WAR totals.
