December 8, 20214 yr It will be ok, he'll probably pass through waivers, or he'll go to Pittsburgh and be their version of Willy Garcia
December 8, 20214 yr My guess: Nathan Perry, C Astros Youth and upside are two qualities generally lacking in the MiLB Rule 5 Draft, but the 21-year-old Perry could provide both. After breaking out in 2019 with short-season Tri-City, Perry’s numbers came back down to earth in 2021. He still hit .220/.321/.385 with 19 extra-base hits in 51 games, but he struggled to rediscover the power in 2019 when he slugged .462 with a .218 isolated slugging. He showed average bat-to-ball skills exemplified by his 73.3% contact rate, but his heavy rate of fly ball contact drove down his batting average on balls in play. He still flashes above-average raw power in games, it’s just a matter of getting to it with more consistency. An average framer, blocker and thrower, Perry has an average foundation of catching skills that should allow him to stick behind the plate long term.

December 8, 20214 yr Sox didn't take anyone second round. Carson Fulmer was taken by the Dodgers in the second round from the Reds. Yes, that Carson Fulmer haha

I think we took him in the MLB portion. Just checked. No idea where I pulled the name from but I was right lol Edited December 8, 20214 yr by Bob Sacamano

What's wild is a team wasn't even willing to put Fulmer on their 40 man roster AND their 38 man triple A roster.

His attitude and his 0-fer a month are both bright red flags. You never know though, sometimes guys are able to figure out how to reign themselves in. im sure this guy can reign himself in

So would the setup be that Fulmer was eligible to declare himself a free agent but passed, leaving himself renewed with the Tigers?
