Rule 5 Draft!
We went in to the Rule 5 draft thinking of maybe picking up a reliever or a backup infielder for depth, but ended up going a different direction.
Alec Bohm (former 3rd overall pick) was still sitting there at pick 22 for us. I like the idea of having him as a 1B option or our new DH even.
Currently his team expection is "bench player", so we shouldn't worry about him complaining about playing time just yet.
He had a very good 2020 in AAA, but regressed a little in 2021 (with 28 homers no less).
Normally I would avoid players like this (doesn't fit my style), but we will see how it plays out. Worst case scenario, he should have some trade value.
