Sorry non subs. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2022-major-league-baseball-rule-5-draft-preview-version-20/ Sox really should use rule 5. One thing we’ve seen is teams being more ok with selecting and just returning the players (and sometimes getting to keep them). Bring a guy in with a new staff, have him compete with the shitty FA veteran we sign. My interest: Kam Misner- Mizzou, lefty, power, athleticism…hit tool so bad it’s very likely he’s worse than mark Payton. But anyway this is my pick Nic Enright, RHP, Guardians Enright is one of the most polished available relievers in this year’s Rule 5 class. He has plenty of upper-level MiLB experience, with over 100 innings and more than 70 appearances in Double-A and Triple-A, and he has a lengthy track record of success. He posted a 2.88 ERA with a .203 opponent batting average, 1.9 BB/9, 11.9 K/9 and a 2.89 FIP in 2022. Enright has a pair of above-average pitches to work with. His low-90s fastball has modest velocity, but it has some of the best carry in the minors, which makes it a bat-misser that he can dot the zone with. His low-80s slider generates plenty of swings and misses as well, and serves as an excellent chase pitch when he gets ahead in counts. With excellent fastball life and plus control, Enright could be a relatively low-risk addition to a big league bullpen as a Rule 5 pick.
