ST. PETERSBURG -- Though this year’s Rule 5 Draft was held virtually, the Rays had an eventful day on Thursday, losing right-hander Paul Campbell to the Marlins in the Major League portion and selecting numerous players in the Minor League portion of the Draft.

The Rays decided to skip their selection in the Major League portion of the Draft, lining up with what the front office has done for most of the last decade. Despite the Rays not selecting a player in this year’s Rule 5, let’s take a look at the players selected in the Major League portion in Rays history.

2016: Mariners RHP Kevin Gadea -- The Rays were set to send Gadea back to the Mariners, but instead placed him on the 60-day injured list with right elbow tendinitis. He was sent to Triple-A Durham after the 2016 season. He never reached the Majors.

2010: Red Sox LHP César Cabral -- He was returned to the Red Sox before the 2010 season and made his Major League debut with the Yankees in ‘13. He made 14 career appearances, posting a 6.35 ERA.

2009: Red Sox LHP Armando Zerpa -- Was traded to the Dodgers for cash considerations and never made the Majors.

2008: White Sox RHP Derek Rodriguez -- The Rays returned Rodriguez to Chicago and the right-hander never made the Majors.

2007: Twins RHP Tim Lahey -- The Rays selected Lahey with the first pick in the 2007 Rule 5 Draft, but immediately traded him to the Cubs for cash considerations. He was on the Phillies’ Opening Day roster in ‘08, but never appeared in a big league game.

2006: Indians OF Ryan Goleski -- Tampa Bay selected Goleski, but traded him that same night to the A’s. Goleski was believed to have a lot of promise, but injuries kept him from making it to the Majors.

2005: Blue Jays RHP Steve Andrade -- Andrade made four career appearances with the Royals, posting a 9.64 ERA in 4 2/3 innings of work.

2003: Braves OF/RHP Alec Zumwalt -- Zumwalt tried to be a two-way player before it was cool, but it didn’t pan out, as he never made a Major League roster. He has, however, carved out a nice career after his playing days, serving as the Royals’ director of hitting performance and player development.

2002: Indians UTIL Hector Luna -- The Rays returned Luna to Cleveland in April 2003, and the utility man played in 339 career games with the Cardinals, Indians, Blue Jays, Marlins and Phillies.

2001: Braves RHP Kevin McGlinchy -- The right-hander never appeared in a game with the Rays.

1999: Tigers Chad Ogea -- Just a couple of years after shoving for the Indians against the Marlins in the 1997 World Series, Ogea was selected by the Rays in the Rule 5 Draft. He never appeared in a game with Tampa Bay and didn’t make it back to the big leagues.

1998: Orioles IF David Lamb -- Lamb was the first Rule 5 selection by the Tampa Bay franchise and is still the only Rule 5 pick to make an appearance with the Rays, making his debut in ‘99. Lamb played in parts of three big league seasons with the Rays, Mets and Twins.
