I really threw the Rule-5 Draft, as I forgot to copy and paste my list to each round. I wanted to get five guys, but instead, I got just Bill McClean, a 26-year-old SP. He wasn't the guy I liked the most, but I knew I needed pitching the most and I was expecting the other guys I wanted to fall to later rounds. McClean was Washington's 2nd Round Pick out of Brooklyn State from the 1924 draft. In 186.1 AA innings, he was 13-8 with a 3.04 ERA (146 ERA+), 1.37 WHIP, and 66 strikeouts. He's a four pitch pitcher who can hit 90 with his sinker. He'll compete for a rotation spot or end up in the bullpen.

8th Rounder George Deemer decided that a ton of money wasn't worth it to play with us, and will head to college. 1st Overall Pick Tom Barrell signed a $9,280 signing bonus. Shockingly he's only the 34th ranked prospect and second in our organization. Jim Mason doesn't look like he is going to sign.

We also signed about 30 undrafted free agents. For now, I'm keeping all the extra players, but eventually I will cut a lot of the organization while leaving a few replacement players in case of injury.

Made a few waiver claims as well, 23-year-old C Jim Kyle and 28-year-old 2B John Mallory. Kyle came from the Sailors who made him a 13th Round Pick in 1927. He was in the majors very quickly, hitting .200/.233/.243 (25 OPS+) and 4 RBI's in 70 at bats. He has two options left and the potential to become a decent backup catcher. Mallory came from Cleveland, but was the Stars 11th Round Pick in 1920. He's spent parts of three seasons in the FABL, hitting .281/.339/.322 (85 OPS+) with 28 steals and 49 RBI's. He's an excellent defender at second and will fill into a bench role.
