Re-pick:
Cal Ripken Jr - Orioles

He was protected in the the original keepers. That who is represented by the funky abbreviation.

Kevin Mitchell - Reds

Reds are off the board.

1977 Carlton Fisk

Boston Red Sox

After having no idea that TSMOPPOAT was Cal Riplken, I'm sure I'm missing something again like maybe Nomar Garciaparra is code for Xander Bogaerts. But, I'll try Xander Bogaerts - Red Sox

If my pick is acceptable, then the Red Sox are off the board.

David Wright - NY Mets - 3B

Mets off the Board

I'm old enough to remember when people read the original post

Blake Snell - TBR

Blake Snell was on the original keeper list for Tampa Bay.

Protected first five!

Rough round.

Damnit. Sorry. New pick coming.

Stephen Strasberg - MON/WSH

Omar Vizquel Cleveland

This might be worth pasting on page one somewhere if it isn't already, but here's the Rule V Glossary:

HWMNBN: (He who must never be named) The former Cincinnati Red, Philadelphia Phillie and Montreal Expo who was banned for life from the game for betting on baseball while he managed Cincinnati.

TSMOPOAT: Nolan Ryan (the single most overrated pitcher of all-time)

TSMOPPOAT: Cal Ripken, Jr. (the single most overrated position player of all time)

AFTBOAT: Scott Rolen (alleyviper's favorite third baseman of all time...there was a stretch where it seemed like av picked him every season)

The last one is mine, but the others come from josecanuc, our Rule V prediction king emeritus. I don't know for certain, but he had serious health issues, and I think he's no longer with us.

Let me know if I missed any.
