The Rule-5 Draft will happen tomorrow morning, and for once I actually didn't even look at the pool. It's not just because we have a full 40-man roster, but I just don't see room for a Rule-5 Pick on the active roster. We have a lot of guys who deserve to play in the majors and I'm probably going to be making some tough cuts this spring.

Man I miss draft pick trading...

RHP Zane Kelley (#231 Overall)
Acquired: Via Trade with Kings (1947)
AAA: 13-8, 188.2 IP, 4.15 ERA (109 ERA+), 1.49 WHIP, 61 BB, 61 K
CWL: 2-0, SV, 20 IP, 0.90 ERA (508 ERA+), 0.80 WHIP, 7 BB, 9 K

Start one was great. Start two was amazing! Zane Kelley kept runners off the base all game, allowing just 2 hits and 4 walks with 3 strikeouts in a game where he needed to be perfect. He only picked up the win since he didn't allow a run, as the Stallions gave him just one run of support. This extended the team win streak to four, giving them a division best 5-2 record. Kelley also pitches out of the pen for some reason, but he excelled in both of those outings too. He got each of the last two hitters out to earn a save, and then threw an inning and a third hitless innings with a walk and three strikeouts. If there were Player of the Weeks, he would have won it, as he allowed just two hits and five walks with six strikeouts in eleven scoreless innings. Obviously it's way too early to talk about league leaders, but his 0.90 ERA (508 ERA+) is best in the league and no pitcher has thrown more innings then him. The CWL appears to be an excellent place for Kelley to showcase himself, and if his 3.00 FIP (65 FIP-) is any indication, he's going to have an excellent string of starts as the Stallions look to win their first ever division title.
