Season 5 Rule V Draft

So the Rule V draft took place a couple of cycles ago and Sal Martinwas chosen first overall by the Chicago Snow Storms. It looks like he will either split time between first base and dh as the Snow Storms already have Rich Davenport. Despite having the first overall pick during the draft, Chicago also had the most players chosen during it with a total of 6.



The Portland Princes took a record 9 selections in this years draft. It will be interesting to see if all 9 of those players stick around for the entire year, but my guess is going to be no. On the flip side they had zero players chosen.

Overall every team except The Charleston Chiefs participated in the Rule V draft in one shape or another. Besides Chicago who had 6 players drafted from their team, New Orleans and Atlanta tied with 4 players drafted apiece. 5 teams tied with a total of 3 players drafted.

As mentioned earlier Portland lead the way with drafting a total of 9 players, followed by Chicago, Cheyenne, and Durham with 4. 4 teams tied with a total of 3 players drafted.

Stay tuned for Division Previews coming up in the next few days.
