Giants select RHP Scott Shuman in Rule-5 draft

[5pointer]

Looking for official link still.

Most intriguing pick in minor phase: RHP Scott Shuman to the #Giants. Guy throws 95-97 or more. Dick Tidrow gets #ninja hands on power arm

Pretty wild. If our staff could somehow teach this dude some control, he might be decent.

Needs more than some pointers on control. I think he needs to be taught which direction to throw the ball in.

Lets just hope all he needs is glasses, but honestly if there's anybody who could tame this wild beast it would be DICK.

1 HBP, 10 wild pitches.

[brentn2n]

10 wild pitches = 6 with posey lol ... Only 1HBP tho very disappointing ..

so, does this mean we have to keep him on the big league roster? or he's gonna be down in the minors?

[sfgiants5518]

If chosen in the Rule 5 draft, a player must be kept on the selecting team's 25-man major league roster for the entire season after the draft—he may not be optioned or designated to the minors. The selecting team may, at any time, waive the Rule 5 draftee. If a Rule 5 draftee clears waivers by not signing with a new MLB team, he must be offered back to the original team, effectively canceling the Rule 5 draft choice. Once a Rule 5 draftee spends an entire season on his new team's 25-man roster, his status reverts to normal and he may be optioned or designated for assignment.

To prevent the abuse of the Rule 5 draft, the rule also states that the draftee must be active for at least 90 days. This keeps teams from drafting players, then placing them on the disabled list for the majority of the season. For example, if a Rule 5 draftee was only active for 67 days in his first season with his new club, he must be active for an additional 23 days in his second season to satisfy the Rule 5 requirements.

Any player chosen in the Rule 5 draft may be traded to any team while under the Rule 5 restrictions, but the restrictions transfer to the new team. If the new team does not want to keep the player on its 25-man roster for the season, he must be offered back to the team of which he was a member when chosen in the draft.
