    De Oleo, who turns 24 on January 25, slashed .261/.292/.435 with 2 homers and 15 RBI in 21 games across three levels in 2016.

    Bummer. 2nd time the damn rangers have taken an Astro in the rule 5. Hauschild could turn into a decent SP and he will get an opportunity in Arlington.

    That tweet is right; this is the minor league phase of the Rule 5 draft. I forgot to mention that it's divided between a major league and a minor league phase.

    All reports indicate de Oleo is very smooth around the plate.

    So the two guys we added will not be added to the 40 man roster because they were in the minor-league portion of the draft?

    Yeah, but he's not an everyday guy, just a good substitute.

    Correct. Oleo was likely chosen as a replacement for Stassi/Pena and will be Heinemans backup in Fresno. Mortensen was chosen as a lottery ticket, possibly in anticipation of trading away a pitcher or two who are slated for AAA (or maybe even as a replacement for Hauschild).

    Catching is a premium position in the minor leagues. You can never get enough. There are zero expectations that Eduardo De Oleo wlll ever make The MLB.
