Rule 5 draft preview?

Does anyone know who all may end up available in the upcoming Rule 5 draft?  I know it is still a bit early but any input would be appreciated.

I am assuming this will be the draft order-

  1. Tampa Bay Devil Rays
  2. Pittsburgh Pirates
  3. Kansas City Royals
  4. Baltimore Orioles
  5. San Francisco Giants
  6. Florida Marlins
  7. Cincinnati Reds
  8. Chicago White Sox
  9. Washington Nationals
  10. Houston Astros
  11. Texas Rangers
  12. Oakland Athletics
  13. St. Louis Cardinals
  14. Minnesota Twins
  15. Los Angeles Dodgers
  16. Milwaukee Brewers
  17. Toronto Blue Jays
  18. Atlanta Braves
  19. Chicago Cubs
  20. Seattle Mariners
  21. Detroit Tigers
  22. New York Mets
  23. San Diego Padres
  24. Philadelphia Phillies
  25. Colorado Rockies
  26. Arizona Diamondbacks
  27. Los Angeles Angels
  28. New York Yankees
  29. Cleveland Indians
  30. Boston Red Sox
Thanks

We'll know
once some free agent signings are made and how teams fill out their 40-man roster. Hard to say with nothing really in place.

I will respond to this
in a new diary, since it'll be a long comment

Giants
Here's a list of some 2004 college draftees who are not currently on the 40 man roster who will be eligible for the Rule 5 draft:

Eddy Martinez-Esteve
Clay Timpner
John Bowker
Garrett Broshuis
Justin Hedrick
Eugene Espinelli

In addition, Craig Whitaker, a HS draftee from 2003 is eligible as well as holdovers Marcus Sanders, Bill Sadler and Jesse English.

I would think Bowker will have to be protected.  I'm not at all sure I would use up a roster spot for any of the others.  Teams may have some interest in Hedrick and English for bullpen help.

I doubt
Espinelli would be protected. Ive always liked him as well. I think he'd be an excellent pick in the late major stage or the AAA portion
