| Justin Haley At AA Portland In 2016 |
One of the Red Sox prospects left unprotected on Friday was right-handed starer
Justin Haley. Thus, he's eligible to be plucked by any team in the
Rule Five Draft. According to the authoritative
Baseball America site,
Haley is among 12 "cream of the unprotected crop" and is likely to be selected by another organization. The 6'5", 230-pound Haley was terrific in both AA and AAA this past season and was virtually un-hittable in the
Dominican Winter League (0.38 ERA over 24 innings). Boston decided instead to protect RHP
Kyle Martin and LHP
Luis Ysla from the
Rule Five process instead of Haley. Stay tuned!
