He Who Walks Behind the Rows - Rule V
The Des Moines Kernels used their 1st overall pick in the Rule V draft to select SS Rafael Sanchez from the Calgary Pioneers.
Unable to sign Luis Cruz to an extension left Des Moines with little depth at shortstop. With uber-prospect, Felix Parreno still a year or two away from the BBA, the Kernels are forced to rely on a hodgepodge of below-replacement level players to man this position. Hal Thorne, Bill Kemp and Sidney Ballard are the sort of players a team relies on when injuries hit, not starting lineup material.
With the addition of Rafael Sanchez, the Kernels at least get a young player who can handle short hops at both middle infield positions. On the offensive side, Kernels management expects the Puerto Rican to swing at a lot of high fastballs and low and away sliders. Unfortunately, with this organization, you have to take the average with the very bad.

.333 with a homer and a positive ZR. Great start for Sanchez.

uggh, that's what happens when you spend all day reading appendices of regulatory documents. Every numeric character becomes a roman numeral in your head...
