Rule V draft

Racab,

Thanks for the good news. I would think the Blue Jays have bigger and better things planned for Marcos. Congratulations.

Congrats that is great news, you should be very proud.

AWESOME..... congrats....

Racab,

It is all good for Marcos. All that matters is that various scouts know who he is...

Congrats to your son and your family from Chicagoland.

More hoorays for Marcus!

Sounds like good news to me.

Fabulous news!!! congratulations to Marcos!!

Congrats!

If they decide to keep him and you come up to see him play, let me know I'd be honoured to watch him play and meet you!

Doc,
It looks like Marcos was selected in the Minor league phase of the Rule V draft.
That means his contract is now with the Blue Jays, but not at the Major league level.
Most likely he will be looking at an assignment in Dunedin or New Hampshire(high A/AA), depending on whether the Jays resign a couple of free agent middle infielders. Marcos' selection, for me, suggests that one of the minor league players who is a free agent may not be back and this selection filled that spot.

Thanks everybody for the goods wishes.
Marcos was put in the AAA roster, but like infielddad says, that doesn't mean Marcos will play at AAA. The level he will play next year will depends on The Blue Jays middle infield needs and more importantly on Marcos performance at spring trainning.

Doc:
I hope I can meet you in Toronto to see Marcos play.
May be by 2009, who knows.

Racab,
Congratulations. Being selected means the Jays have carefully scouted your son and found many things they like.
I think you both will find the Jays' minor league approach of providing the maximum opportunity to prove yourself a major plus. He is also going to find a lot of quality people in his teammates and coaches.
Good luck. I will be following Marcos' progress.

Racab,
Great news! I hope that someday he will be at Dunedin and mine at Juiter and we can watch together!!!!!
