Just a bit more on Redman

The Pirates' corner of the internet is abuzz with speculation that the PTBL in the Redman deal will be the top pick in tomorrow's Rule 5 Draft (the Royals have the top pick). Rotoworld has a Rule 5 preview and they list the most likely player to be selected as Reds 2B/3B prospect Kevin Howard, who had a pretty good year in AA then lead the AFL in hitting. If not Howard than it will probably be a pitcher. I suppose we'll have to keep an eye on this tomorrow, as will Josh Fogg and Ty Wigginton (one of whom will presumably be dropped off the roster if the Royals are swinging that pick to us, depending on who it is).
