Creators like Bailey are so important for the growth of MLB among younger audiences such as myself. It’s really disappointing to see MLB continue to lack this insight. Not being invited back to the Winter Meetings is such a clear blunder. Things like this is why MLB continues to put up a losing effort in keeping up with the exponential growth of other professional sports leagues.
Clearly the TikTok chef loves baseball more than Bailey, and I'm sure the eye candy "musical artist" that probably can't name all 30 teams will give waaaaaayyyy better interviews than Bailey, I mean after all this video proves how little he cares about baseball and how little research he does. THE MAN NOTED THAT OPS IS INFLATED IN THE PCL, find me one "creator" on the roster that can name 4 teams in the PCL, or hell name 2 of the farm systems the teams belong to.
You just found the perfect way to break down the Rule 5 Draft. Took a few minutes to explain the general premise and the rules and then gave us current examples. Perfection 👌
@@influentialdetour i use it for backup IF or OF prospects i want to stash....always something interesting to draft and you can always release them coming out of Spring Training if they don't develop
Shane Victorino another stellar Rule 5 selection, picked by the Phillies from the Dodgers in 2004 and was a large contributor to the Phillies 2008 WS win.
I can not believe they didn’t give you a press pass for the event. Absolutely ridiculous for a sport trying to grow its fan base. Most consistent and top tier baseball creators these last few years. Sorry this didn’t happen, but I’ll still support you as much as I can like always!
I totally understand is this is a BRef integration so you're not trying to show Fangraphs or anyone viewed as a "competitor", but you can get MiLB wRC+s at FG if you just wanna reference them in the future to show the drastic league differences
Foolish continues to breakdown the game for all. There is absolutely no way that MLB can ignore your contributions to their game, Bailey. The amount of work and research that you put into to each video is carefully crafted, and with the clever touch of comedy involved, its hard not to love watching your videos delving into areas of baseball that lots of fans dont think about! Heres to getting you to next years winter meetings!
As a Giants fan I can't be disappointed by Blake Sabol. 0.7 fWAR isn't a ton but for a rule 5 guy to come in and play 55 games at catcher and 43 at left field (which are rather different skillsets), and be serviceable at both when the Giants were desperate for guys who could fill up the lineup card, he was solid. He clearly was hungry for any chance he could get to prove himself ready for the big leagues.
As a Giants fan I desperately need to say: he was not serviceable at catcher. Multiple catchers interference, multitudes of past balls, many in key spots in later innings, awkward framing to put it mildly.... all this and possibly more that I've blocked from my mind. His work behind the plate was one of my biggest causes of profanity during the season, a season that was riddled with curses and swearing.
@@Sam_Sea_is_Me True, but considering catcher isnt typically a position of utility (they usually just play C and 1B), the fact we got an average hitter (at least for the position) out of a 3rd string catcher when the team was that hurt is still something, the team has been kinda snakebit at the position and was decimated by injuries which kinda made him necessary for it. If Pat Bailey can hit more consistently the Giants will have that catcher they've desperately needed, I'm not worried about that position right now. I think he has a chance in a more hitter oriented position who can go behind the dish in an absolute pinch. Not a star, but welcome okay production for a team that struggled to even find that with their rookies.
Giants Rule 5 draft legend Blake Sabol had a .763 ops before the all-star break (everyone on the Giants fell off in the 2nd half) and a respectable .744 ops vs righties overall!!! He did this in his first year playing catcher (natural outfielder) and was ONLY bad defensively (not horrific). I see that as a valuable rookie season and he'll be a solid backup C/4th OF in the future for the organization.
To me the biggest wtf was the Diamondbacks leaving Deyvison De Los Santos off the 40. I get he’s extremely young and raw still but he’s been hyped as a potential top 100 pick and finished the season really strong at Double A after struggling at first. Definitely could see team like the A’s or Royals who have no chance to contend taking a shot on him knowing this year is essentially a redshirt year similarly to Richie Martin a few years ago
Loving the longer videos man! Great ASMR (not even being sarcastic here) (or facetious) (no seriously huge fan and can’t get enough of the content) take this message as you will
I pay more attention during the off-season than I do during the regular season, god i sincerely hope I get to watch an A’s team the fan base can have legitimate hope in actually sustaining success
They didn’t give you credentials yet people who don’t do baseball content got credentials. MLB hates the creators that best help them, thank you for your video and work. Keep up the grind, 83K subs… you’re in High A Ball for where you project to reach with your potential. Overtake MLB network, achieve your destiny, become the talented version of the Mad Dawg.
@@sabiebright4554 Yeah, you’re right. Shoutout to Elvin Rodriguez for giving up 10 ER to the Bronx Bombers in Yankees Stadium in a start that one time.
Gus Varland is, of course, the older brother of Twins pitcher Louie Varland, who flipped back and forth between the starting role and the bullpen last year.
As a huge baseball junkie I never really paid too much attention to the rule 5 draft idk if it’s because the Mets are never on really either side of things for it since they develop horribly. However I now see you can get a really solid contributor from it.
Big Baseball is out against the boys over at Foolish Baseball and Foolish Bailey got hit in the crossfire. You should join forces and make your own baseball league (and not one in the middle east)
given the rule 5 draft history of the blue jays, i think they're due for an upside player! troy johnston looks like that power bat with 1B/Corner OF flexibility, but hed most likely head into the outfield; but deshawn kiersey would probably be that guy that management would rather opt for because of that defensive flex.
Mr. FoolishBailey! What’s your favorite hitter archetype? I’m curious because you never seem to have a bias when it comes to the types of hitters you like. My personal favorite type is the guys who’d rather be shot than struck out, like Luis Arraez
Man that’s tough. One of my goals this offseason is to put together my own hitting metric based on what I value. The first drafts I did had guys like Seager and Betts up top, but I don’t really know if those guys have an “archetype” beyond being good at everything.
it's a crime that you didn't get a credential this year especially with it happening in Atlanta. Hopefully they change their tune next year -- you're a very important younger voice in the baseball content creator universe. You deserve to be there and you would have provided value if you were there.
i would honestly like to see how a team entirely made of 40 rule 5 draft players each year would fair against each major league team. i think a team filled with all the guys available this year could win against at least 10 teams in a 4 game series
btw, for Prato: The Saints' (AAA Twins affiliate) ballpark has been extremely hitter friendly this year. The offense numbers for everyone on that team has been super wonky. I wouldn't put that much stock in Prato's high numbers in AAA this past year. I'd be pretty surprised if he gets picked.
Surprised you didn’t mention grant mccray. While he has only played in high A, hes a phenomenal athlete stealing around 45 bases and playing great defense in rge outfield. Was the giants number 4 prospect before the year and only 23. I could see a bad team taking a flier on him and keeping him even if he struggles offensively due to the potential
Er hat hald ein Germanistikstudium ... und er ist stattdessen einfach "deutsch" im Kopf geworden mit seinen Listen und Zahlen. gut organisierter junge!
Burnes was used as a piggy backer for a good bit then at them at the end they get did relief him a lil just to keep innings low that’s why he has relief stats
Last year you were like I don’t know if I’ll go to the winter meetings again it’s more of a social event then to get work done but now this year you seem you want to go really bad, what changed?
Convenience. Last year it was across the country. This year it's within driving distance. But the biggest thing is I just wanted to hang with the boys. I could've still gone up there and hung out with the boys. But I couldn't have hung out with the boys at the greatest event of them all: The Rule 5 Draft

The Bad Boy of the Rule 5 Draft
This isn’t falcons franchise
that’s what they call me
As a newer baseball fan of only 10 years, I finally fully understand the rule 5 draft. Thanks!
If you haven’t, you should look into out of the park baseball. It will teach you a lot about stuff like this
You just found the perfect way to break down the Rule 5 Draft. Took a few minutes to explain the general premise and the rules and then gave us current examples. Perfection 👌
I hate when I forget to add my Rule 5 eligible guys to the 40 man in OOTP
Pro tip, when you’re on rule 5 day look at the draft pool and sort by org so you don’t miss any of your guys
I never understood the Rule 5 draft until I played OOTP. Always try to get bullpen pieces through it haha
@@influentialdetourcan get some diamonds in the rough that way occasionally.
@@influentialdetour i use it for backup IF or OF prospects i want to stash....always something interesting to draft and you can always release them coming out of Spring Training if they don't develop
My OOTP trick is to check the waiver wire during the Rule 5 because often teams have DFA'd quality players to get their 40 man in shape
Shane Victorino another stellar Rule 5 selection, picked by the Phillies from the Dodgers in 2004 and was a large contributor to the Phillies 2008 WS win.
As 1 of the 20 fans in Marlins twitter, we were all livid that Johnston went unprotected

literally threw my phone when i saw shane sasaki i have been vouching for that guy for ages
Wow, I never knew that Johan Santana was a Rule 5 pick. Thanks for recapping the history of the draft
haters said you couldnt preview the rule 5 draft for 36 minutes

Keeping pushing Bailey, I hope to see a video from you at the Rule 5 draft next year!
Loving the longer videos man!
Great ASMR (not even being sarcastic here) (or facetious) (no seriously huge fan and can’t get enough of the content) take this message as you will
This is easily the best Rule 5 Draft video I’ve seen this year. As always, Bailey delivers.
Good luck on the creed next year!!
I pay more attention during the off-season than I do during the regular season, god i sincerely hope I get to watch an A’s team the fan base can have legitimate hope in actually sustaining success
When are you breaking down the Hall of Fame ballot? I liked that video last year.

This is cutting-edge baseball coverage. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for going through these! I love that Journalism Alert, totally gonna get you in next year!!😊
More stuff like this would be awesome. Love the prospect talk.

Great stuff, I remember really feeling inspired to do my own rule 5 pseudo analysis thanks to you and OOTP 😂
Gosh darn Bailey, you are a radical ball knower that deserves every credential. You have my vote. See you on MLB Network
Came to get your take on Devyison De Los Santos and Hudson Haskins, left shocked that neither was included.
The audacity of MLB to deny someone trying to cover the god damn Rule 5 draft is infuriating.
I will never forget Mason Englert giving up 9 ER in relief, what a Tigers legend.
Edit: He gave up 9 runs, not 10 runs
Absolutely legendary performance, but I'm pretty sure he only gave up 9 runs in that masterpiece of ball placement.
@@sabiebright4554 Yeah you’re right

My friend keeps making fun of me cause I’m excited for this. Pumped to learn all about a prospect who gets returned in April
Nice job.
Btw Might want to add Nunez’s 70 grade speed too
Nice! Bailey likes Coleman Crow!
It'd be awesome if the Braves picked him up, but it's not going to happen
Gus Varland is, of course, the older brother of Twins pitcher Louie Varland, who flipped back and forth between the starting role and the bullpen last year.

Early video comment, but thank you for the clear and easy to understand explanation of the Rule 5 draft and all that it entails.
Great video Bailey.
Merci pour les travaux
Best part of Gus Varland's debut I'd that it was against the Brewers and he SHOVED
Asa Lacy is such a Mariner
You should have also mentioned that Blake Sabol (Reds Rule 5 draftee) actually ended up being traded to the giants and got good playing time.
“Anonymous Cubs source” we all know it’s Jeremy Frank man

Funny thing is taking a back up catcher is something I do often in MLB the Show. Cheap and does not matter much how well they do.
thanks big guy
Looking forward to seeing if Taylor Dollard gets selected

It's in Nashville, although as Bailey noted that's in driving distance
You should do an ootp simulation with a bunch of these guys starting and see how many games they would win.
drafting our entire roster in the rule 5 is a fun sim idea
Why was I not on the Rule 5 Draft until now? Foolish Bailey put me on the Rule 5 draft.
Jimmy Herron is one of the rare right handed hitters and left handed throwers
Wow I certainly don't know any of Bailey's twitter friends who started working for the Cubs at any point. I wonder who that source could be

For some reason I thought the rule five draft was eliminated in the last CBA. Was that ever contemplated, or am I just misremembering?

major league portion draftees have to be on the mlb active roster. minor league phase draftees can be assigned to any level in the new org.
who is eligible for the minor league phase? anyone rule 5 eligible who was also left off the triple-a reserve roster.
