Looking Ahead to 2018: Rule 5 Draft Eligible Players

We have been sneaking ahead and looking ahead at the 2018 season a little bit here on the blog and I wanted to take the opportunity to do so again here this weekend. This time around I wanted to take a look at the Yankees Rule 5 Draft eligible players and take a stab at who I think will ultimately be added to the 40-man roster and protected, who will be left out there for any and all teams to choose in the draft and who I think could be on the trading block this winter because of the Yankees 40-man roster crunch. These are all opinion-based as I have no inside information to the team so take these predictions and opinions as such and enjoy.

Rule 5 Eligible Prospects

1. OF Jake Cave

2. OF Billy McKinney

3. SP Daniel Camarena

4. SP/RP Stephen Tarpley

5. SP Brady Lail

6. 1B Mike Ford

7. OF Rashad Crawford

8. SP Austin DeCarr

9. SP Domingo Acevedo

10. OF Mark Payton

11. SS Abiatal Avelino

12. OF Devyn Bolasky

13. INF Thairo Estrada

14. RP J.P. Feyereisen

15. SP/RP Nestor Cortes

16. SP Albert Abreu

17. RP Cale Coshow

18. 2B Gosuke Katoh

The complete list of eligible Rule 5 Draft players is here including who could be taken in the Minor League portion of the Draft but I wanted to solely focus on the Major League portion on this blog post. Big shout out to Pinstriped Prospects for their hard work and the information.

The Yankees hardest decision of the winter will likely come down to which one of their two high-upside outfielders to protect in the Rule 5 Draft, Jake Cave or Billy McKinney. Cave has been left unprotected for two consecutive seasons and was taken once by the Cincinnati Reds before ultimately being returned before the beginning of the season. McKinney will be faced with this for the first time in his MLB career after coming over to the Yankees in the Aroldis Chapman deal. Both have been hitting well at Triple-A and both face an outfield roster crunch in front of them in the Bronx so it’s conceivable that both could be left unprotected, although very highly unlikely, although at the end of the day I think the team will decide to protect McKinney. If unprotected I think Cave will be selected and will be able to stick with an MLB team like the New York Mets for the entirety of 2018. Just a hunch.

Daniel Camarena will likely be protected as he is a 24-year old left-handed starting pitching option for the Yankees going forward. While he doesn’t come with the same upside as a Chance Adams he is likely a better long-term option than Caleb Smith in my opinion. I’d say Camarena is as close to a no-brainer as it gets as far as protecting prospects this winter. Stephen Tarpley was acquired from the Pittsburgh Pirates in the Ivan Nova deal and hasn’t pitched above High-A Ball so I find it highly unlikely he would be picked up, even if he is 24-years old.

Brady Lail has been pitching in Triple-A for what feels like forever but has yet to really dominate the league which leads me to believe the Yankees will likely leave him unprotected, and he will likely be picked up too. Nothing wrong with giving a guy like Lail who has upside but has yet to put it together a spring training camp to prove himself. With the Yankees lack of first base depth I have to think that Mike Ford could be protected this offseason but it really depends on what the Yankees think of Garrett Cooper. If they think Cooper can be the man in the Bronx and a suitable backup and insurance for Greg Bird than Ford may be left unprotected but I think at the end of the day Ford will be protected. If unprotected I can definitely see the power hitter being selected and hidden on a MLB roster for the entirety of the 2018 season.

Rashad Crawford came back in the Aroldis Chapman trade last year with the Chicago Cubs and has struggled to handle Double-A pitching meaning he will likely be left unprotected. Austin DeCarr has also not pitched above A-ball after missing the entire 2015 season with Tommy John surgery and will also be left unprotected if I were a betting man. Domingo Acevedo seems like the biggest no-brainer on the list to protect. Acevedo may not be ready to start at the Major League level but I am sure there is more than one team that would be willing to give Acevedo a shot in the bullpen as a 25^th man on a roster if it meant holding into that 103 MPH flame-throwing arm for more than a season.

Mark Payton will likely be left unprotected and will likely be taken in the draft due to the Yankees logjam in the outfield. Payton, 25-years old, was hitting .269 at Triple-A at last check and can play all three outfield positions making him super useful for a National League team that could use his speed and versatility off the bench. Abi Avelino has been in the Yankees system for what feels like forever now but is somehow still just at Double-A at the time of this writing. Avelino has played in 20 games at the Triple-A level but never seemingly caught on as he hit just .213 there which will likely leave him unprotected and not chosen in this year’s draft. The same can be said for outfielder Devyn Bolasky who is hanging around the Mendoza Line at Double-A this season. He will be left unprotected and will not be chosen this offseason.

Thairo Estrada may be one of the better and top rated shortstops in the Yankees system not that Gleyber Torres has moved on to third base and Jorge Mateo has been traded to the Oakland Athletics. Estrada is 21-years old and currently tearing up Double-A pitching which leads me to believe that the Yankees could protect him this winter. Sure, he is in Double-A right now but by the end of the season he could be at Triple-A if he keeps up his torrid pace. Meanwhile J.P. Feyereisen, the relief pitcher who was acquired in the Cleveland Indians trade for Andrew Miller last season, has split time between Double-A and Triple-A this season posting a 2.73 ERA with four saves in 29 appearances and is considered by many to be Major League ready. If the team wants to keep him, and I think that they will, they need to protect him because another team will snatch him up and put him on their roster in a heartbeat. I can guarantee that.

Nestor Cortes is a left-handed bullpen arm that is considered to be MLB ready at this point which leads me to believe that he may be protected this winter by the Yankees. Cortes is 22-years old and has pitched well at Double-A and Triple-A this season so if the Yankees did not protect him, and trust me… they will, he would definitely be taken and stashed in someone else’s bullpen for the 2018 season. Cortes also ranks higher in my opinion than Caleb Smith and others in the Yankees farm system so holding onto him should be a priority.

Albert Abreu was acquired from the Houston Astros this offseason in the Brian McCann trade and was immediately placed on most publications Top 10 Yankees Prospects list. Abreu hasn’t pitched above A-Ball in his minor league career but is too much of a talent with too much upside to not be protected. Not protecting Abreu is like playing with fire, and kids that’s never good. If you think I’m crazy for saying so see how that worked out for the Yankees with Luis Torrens, one of their top catching prospects, in the 2016 Rule 5 Draft. Torrens never played above A-Ball either but a team like the San Diego Padres can afford to take him and stash him with no playoffs or contention in sight. The Yankees don’t want and can’t afford for lightning to strike twice here. Protect him.

Coshow has been closing games for the Trenton Thunder in Double-A and at the time of this writing has compiled 14 saves in 17 opportunities with 62 strikeouts in 48.1 innings pitched. Coshow gives up too many hits though and makes David Robertson look like a lockdown and dominant closer, and all this before Coshow has even reached Triple-A. I can’t see Coshow getting protected and honestly I don’t think he should be either. Finally we have Gosuke Katoh who was the Yankees second round pick in the 2013 MLB Draft. Katoh has not played above High-A ball and may not even get to Double-A this season. At last check Katoh was hitting .282 but there is little to no chance he gets protected or taken in the Rule 5 Draft next year.

So kudos to anyone and everyone who read that book of a post but if you didn’t here is the long and the skinny of the situation. The Yankees have a lot of guys they need to protect and the team may lose 3-5 prospects this winter in the draft if they don’t. The work is never done.

Most Popular Article of the Week: Yankees Leave Several Good Prospects Available for Rule 5 Draft

The New York Yankees finalized their 40 man roster last week by adding six prospects to the 40 man roster and shuffling around a slew of others. Jorge Mateo, Miguel Andujar, Dietrich Enns, Ronald Herrera, Yefrey Ramirez and Giovanny Gallegos were added to the 40 man roster but there are a ton of talented players who were left unprotected from the Rule 5 Draft.


Jake Cave has been left unprotected once again after being taken with the second selection overall in the Rule 5 Draft last season by the Cincinnati Reds. Cave had another good season in Triple-A in 2016 and can play all three outfield positions so expect another team to take a waiver on him as their 4th or 5th outfielder this Rule 5 Draft as well.


Tyler Webb, I thought anyway, would be one of the reasons that James Pazos was traded this offseason but for whatever reason the Yankees have left Webb, another left-handed reliever, available to lose in the draft as well. Webb is 26-years old and has all but mastered Triple-A hitters pitching to a 3.59 ERA in 2016 so expect him to be in someone else’s bullpen in 2017.


The decision to leave Brady Lail out there also surprised me a little since Lail is one of the closest and better Yankees pitching prospects in the system. Lail is just 23-years old but he did struggle in Triple-A a bit this season so he is on the line of whether he will be chosen or not in my opinion.


Cale Coshow is one of the many Yankees pitchers that are drafted as relief pitchers only to be converted into a starting pitcher once in the Yankees system. For that reason Coshow is a bit behind on the curve reaching just Double-A this season. Coshow struggled some with the Trenton Thunder leading me to believe he will be with the Yankees in 2017 as well.





There are others but none of them, again in my opinion, has a shot at being taken and sticking on other roster. This is the list of potential Yankees prospects that could be taken this winter in the draft. Who do you see being taken? Leave it down below in the comments section. Thanks!

TGP Top 29 Prospects List - #19 Cale Coshow

Welcome to the teens as we countdown our Top 29, well technically Top 30, Prospects List here as a part of our Prospects Month. There is an absolute ton of talent in this Yankees system and there is already an absolute ton of talent on my personal list. I have a feeling I have shaken things up a bit ranking Tyler Wade so low and I may catch some flak for ranking this relief pitcher so high, Mr. Cale Coshow.

Coshow has been in the Yankees system since the 2013 MLB First Year Players Draft and has worked his way all the way to the Trenton Thunder of Double-A. With 33.1 innings pitched in Double-A last season he could easily be in Triple-A before the temperatures really start lighting up your thermometer and in a pinch he could conceivably be MLB ready by the end of the season.

Coshow has seen his K numbers go down the more he has risen through the system which can be worrisome but he gets players out, he doesn't walk a ton and the sky is the limit on this 23-year old. For these reasons and the fact that he is so close to being considered MLB ready I have him ranked #19 and one spot ahead of my personal favorite relief pitching prospect right now, Chance Adams.

Taylor Dugas & Aaron Judge Promoted

The New York Yankees have announced that Charleston RiverDogs outfielder Aaron Judge has been promoted to the Single-A Tampa Yankees. Judge is the current South Atlantic League leader in batting average and walks.

Charleston receives right-handed pitcher Cale Coshow from the Staten Island Yankees. Also, outfielder Mikeson Oliberto has been activated from the disabled list. The RiverDogs are back to their maximum of 25 active players.

Judge, a top-ten Yankees prospect according to Baseball America, MLB.com, and Baseball Prospectus, made the most of his professional debut in the Lowcountry. His .333 average and 39 walks top all players in the Sally League. Judge is also third in the SAL in on-base percentage (.428) and fourth in slugging percentage (.530). He hit nine home runs and was the starting right fielder for the Southern Division in the 2014 South Atlantic League All-Star Game.

Coshow is a 6’5”, 260 pound righty from Edmond, Okla. who was drafted by the Yankees in the 13^th round of the 2013 draft out of Oklahoma Christian University. He appeared in 15 games last season with Staten Island, and had made one scoreless outing with Staten Island this year.

In other news Taylor Dugas has been promoted to Triple-A Scranton and will be available tonight for the RailRiders. 

Exclusive Interview w/ Yankees Pitcher Cale Coshow

Today as a part of Prospects Month we bring you our latest interview, this time with Staten Island Yankees pitcher Cale Coshow. In this interview we talk everything from fried chicken, Joba Chamberlain, golf, and the song Call Me Maybe. You will just have to read to understand, enjoy! 

The Greedy Pinstripes: Hey Cale, how are you today sir? How is your offseason going?

Cale Coshow: The offseason right now is going great. Working out at Athletic Republic with a great staff and getting to spend quality time with my family and golfing whenever the weather allows. 

TGP:  First off I want to say I respect the heck out of you for your faith and being so open about it. Your Twitter bio "part time professional baseball player, part time golfer, full time christian" is awesome. How do you think your faith has helped you in your life and specifically in your baseball career? 

CC: My faith is the most important thing in my life. I love baseball, but its something that will not last forever, but my faith will. Through all the trials I have been through in baseball and life, my faith has gotten me through it. It helps whenever you have grown up in Christian home environment so I have family and friends that can help my walk with Jesus Christ. 

TGP: How important is your family to you? How have they helped you with your baseball career? 

CC: Outside my faith, my family is so important to me as they are my main support system. I have parents who I can ask certain questions about and I have a brother who played collegiate baseball so I can lean on him for baseball advice. My family also gives me a way to get my mind off baseball, because they just will do anything just to make sure I am doing okay away from home. 

TGP:  Did you play any other positions coming up either in Little League, High School , or College ball?

CC: In little league I really did not pitch very much for my talents were hitting and being a catcher. Sophomore year of high school is when I made the switch from catcher to pitcher and first base. 

TGP:  Were you disappointed in your lack of use at Oklahoma? Is that why you ended up transferring?

CC: I honestly was very disappointed in not being used at the University of Oklahoma but I was actually cut from the baseball team after my redshirt-freshman season. Right after I got cut, the coach at Oklahoma Christian called me as I was driving home and right there I knew thats the school I wanted to play for. I used me getting cut as a way to humble myself and motivate myself to become a better pitcher. 

TGP:  What teams and sports did you root for and watch growing up?

CC: Football was my first love growing up so I have always been a huge fan of football overall, and not having an NFL team in Oklahoma just caused me to root for close teams like Denver and the Kansas City Chiefs. However, I am a die hard Oklahoma Sooner fan and will always find time to go to the games when I am home. My family used to go to Texas Rangers baseball games during the summer so I grew up favoring the Rangers.

TGP:  Do you think your 6'5" height will hurt you as a pitcher?

CC: I do not believe my height will hurt me because even though I am not the premiere tall and skinny pitcher, I use my strength as an advantage. 

TGP: Do you have a girlfriend/wife waiting for you at home while you are on the road so much?

CC: I actually do have a girlfriend that plays softball in Oklahoma. I also have a dog named Beefcake that will certainly be waiting for me to get home.

TGP: What are you doing this offseason to improve on your 2013 season?

CC: This offseason I have used the time to tighten up my core and get my legs stronger, as well as work on my changeup. All things are a work in progress.

TGP: What do you do during the offseason to keep yourself occupied?

CC: I play golf at least 3-4 times a week to keep myself occupied. I am a huge movie buff and always go to see movies when they come out. I am also an avid fisherman and enjoy sitting on a bank with a fishing pole in hand. 

TGP: Favorite restaurant to eat at?

CC: My favorite restaurant to eat at would have to be Eischens. Its a fried chicken place in Okarche, Oklahoma. My best friend Tyler and I always make plans to go eat their fried chicken and okra.

TGP: I think this answer may be obvious but in my time around social media I have noticed there are two kinds of fans when it comes to prospects. You have the "prospect humpers" (myself being a self professed prospect humper) and a name yet to be determined (due to my lack of creativity) describing those who want to sell all the prospects off for the 37 year old "sure thing." Which category do you think yourself as a fan falls into?

CC: I like to hold onto prospects because those young guys turn out to be great players, just like Derek Jeter. But if you have the money to spend on some key veteran player, I would spend that money because those veterans can help the young guys grow in the game.

TGP: What current Major League player do you think you compare to the most?

CC: I have been told that I remind everyone of Joba Chamberlain. I am a big guy that throws hard. Funny thing is wherever I pitched, home or away, fans would yell "throw it harder Joba" or "look everybody, its Joba." I am okay with being compared to him because he has always been a reliable pitcher. 

TGP: If you could be the Yankees GM for a day what would you do? Don't have to really be realistic here. 

CC: If I was GM for a day, I would have a costume day. Where every player and staff member would have to show up to the stadium in a costume.

TGP: Do you consider yourself more of a relief pitcher or a starting pitcher going forward?

CC: I see myself as a relief pitcher honestly because I have the mentality as a relief/closer pitcher and I recover relatively fast after pitching.

TGP: Most famous person in your cell phone?

CC: Most famous person in my phone would be Landry Jones, current Pittsburgh Steelers backup quarterback. Him and I became great friends at the University of Oklahoma when we would have bible studies together and would occasionally play some catch. 

TGP: Most embarrassing song in your iPod?

Contrary to popular belief the guy in the wife beater is NOT Cole Coshow.

CC: Most embarrassing song on my iPod would have to be Call Me Maybe, even though it is a remix of the original song.

TGP: We'll finish with this one, where do you see yourself in life and your career in five years?

CC: I see myself hopefully getting married in the next five years and hopefully make it to the Major Leagues Lord willing. But if I do not get that opportunity, I will most likely be working with the Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and be an agent. Either way I am extremely blessed to have the opportunity to play with such an amazing organization and cannot wait to see where baseball takes me.

Thank you very much Cale for taking the time away from your fishing and striking guys out to do this interview for us, we appreciate it and I am sure our readers do too. You can follow Cale on Twitter by following C_Coshow or at a minor league stadium near you. 

Baseball America: Yankees 2013 Draft Report Card

Clint Longenecker evaluated and gave a write up for Baseball America on the New York Yankees 2013 prospects that we got in the draft by giving us a report card. Will the Yankees need to hide this report card from their parents? Let's see...

Longenecker called our first overall pick Eric Jagielo the best overall hitter, most pure hitter, and the likeliest to make the major leagues first. Longenecker said of Jagielo that he had a "smooth stroke with loft to all fields, a disciplined approach and the ability to make consistent hard contact." Dante Bichette Jr. was moved up to High A with the Tampa Yankees so Jagielo may start 2014 in Low A with the Charleston Riverdogs.

Longenecker called Aaron Judge the best power hitter in the system and said that Judge has "raw power that rates at least a 70 on the 20-80 scale, and he can put on a show in batting practice. He has tremendous natural strength in his extra large frame." Judge has yet to make his professional debut so he will likely start 2014 in the Gulf Coast League or, at best, with the Staten Island Yankees. Judge will play winter ball this year before his 2014 season.

Tyler Wade was given the nod for the best defensive player in the draft as a shortstop which is encouraging for us. Longenecker said of Wade that Wade "who could hit for average is a good athlete with above average speed, good actions, steady hands and an above average arm." The Yankees seem to want to keep Wade and Gosuke Katoh together so where one goes the other probably will and Wade seems ready to go to Charleston with the Riverdogs.

Michael O'Niell is the fastest Yankees runner from the draft with well above average speed that could keep him in center field long term. Gosuke Katoh was also praised for his speed not only in the field but out of the box. O'Niell will probably repeat Staten Island in 2014 while Katoh, who had one of the best professional debuts from a High School player will go to the Charleston Riverdogs in A Ball.

Longenecker liked our pitching and ranked David Palladino, Nick Rumbelow, Cale Coshow, and Philip Walby as having the best fastballs in the draft as all four of the pitcher touch or top 96 MPH. Walby even touched 98 MPH comfortable but Longenecker praised left hander Tyler Webb because of his "average velocity but his fastball plays up because of his command and deception." Palladino will probably stay in Staten Island with Coshow while Rumbelow and Walby head up to Charleston. Webb already has tore up the scene with the Riverdogs and could be headed to High A with the Tampa Yankees by 2014.

The best secondary stuff went to Ian Clarkin, Nick Rumbelow, and David Palladino. Clarkin missed most of the 2013 season with an ankle injury but Longenecker says Clarkin "has the makings of a plus curveball. Palladino's curveball and Rumbelow's slider are plus at their best." Clarkin will "repeat" Staten Island in 2014 but with his stuff, as raw as it is, I do not see him staying there long.

Finally Longenecker praised Dustin Fowler and Caleb Smith as the best late round picks because of Smith's potential for a plus fastball and changeup and Fowler's athleticism to go with his simple swing and above average speed. Finally, and this makes me very happy, Brandon Thomas was named the drafts best athlete. I like this because I live in metro Atlanta, Georgia and support the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and that is where Thomas spent his college career.

2013 Draft Pieces Already Falling Into Place

I leave tomorrow for Florida. I'm gonna miss this California weather! #YankeeNation
— tyler wade (@_tylerwade) June 10, 2013

Sounds like Tyler Wade, our 4th round pick, is set to sign and work out with the Yankees in Tampa. Wade's slot is recommended to be right at $371 K in case you were wondering.

First day as a Yankee: Met and spoke with Jeter. Then one on one defense, hitting, and running with A-Rod! Both unbelievable guys.
— John Murphy (@John_Murphy4) June 10, 2013

The Yankees 6th round pick John Murphy has signed and is with the team down in Tampa. His slot recommendation was $208 K but it is not considered likely that he signs for that much.

#Yankees have reached agreement with 13th rd #mlbdraft pk Cale Coshow pending phys. Big time talent, huge arm, and projectable.
— K. Levine-Flandrup (@YankeesDraft) June 10, 2013

The Yankees 13th round pick Cale Coshow has been signed and is with the Yankees down in Tampa working out. His slot recommendation, and every player picked after the 10th round, is $100 K in case you were wondering.

It's been real Memphis. Headed to the Yankee complex in Tampa. ⚾✈✈⚾💯
— jordan barnes (@jbarnes213) June 10, 2013

The Yankees 15th round pick Jordan Barnes has also signed and is with the Yankees team in Tampa at the minor league complex working out. His slot recommendation is $100 K.
