Rule 5 draft tomorrow. Usually always brings some interesting results.

Mets RHP Elvin Rodriguez is expected to be taken, possibly with the first pick. He's been clocked as high as 98 MPH but his control is horseshit so he wasn't selected to be one of the four players to protect on the 40-man roster last month.

Definitely think the Mets will grab a bullpen arm or two. No risk in doing so. Given how empty the pen currently is it's not a stretch to say that the Mets could carry a Rule 5 draftee on the roster all year.
