Tribe Loses Two Prospects
The Rule 5 draft cost the Indians 2 prospects today. The first pick of the draft was former Buffalo Bison Ryan Goleski. Goleski was quickly traded by Tampa Bay, who had picked him, to the Oakland A's for cash. This begs the question: Why didn't the Indians trade him over there and get something for him? Goleski is a right handed hitter with loads of power. He had 27 HR's and 106 RBI while hitting over .300. He also has a cannon as he was voted the best arm in the minor leagues by Baseball America.
The Indians also lost right-hander Jim Ed Warden to the Phillies. The 27 year old is 6 foot 7. Both Warden and Goleski will have to stay on big league clubs for the entire season or the Tribe will get them back. The Indians will pick up $50,000 for each player selected today.
