The Rule 5 Draft can be a fascinating, if imperfect, process, and you only need to look at last year’s edition to see why. On one hand, the White Sox selected Shane Smith from the Brewers and watched him blossom into an All-Star before finishing with a 3.81 ERA and

MIAMI -- A year ago, Marlins manager Clayton McCullough was still finding his bearings with a new organization. McCullough, who had recently been hired, brought his family to the Marlins’ Thanksgiving charity event to ingratiate himself within the Little Havana community.

Though the Marlins’ organization is still young compared to its Major League counterparts, some of baseball’s most iconic moments over the past few decades are thanks to the team from South Florida. I’m certainly not the first person to compile the best plays in Marlins history. For my list, I
