Not a huge surprise about Rojas not getting drafted.  I was surprised when someone said he might be the first pick in the draft.

Glad he didnt get taken -- If for no other reason other than he grew up in and his family still lives in Anaheim I hope he makes his MLB debut as an Angel.   Whether or not he pans out -- doesnt matter...  It would just be nice to see a guy live out a dream like that...

Yon is too.

Can someone explain how the minor league R5 works? Do teams have to keep these players at a certain level to retain them?

Nah, I think the drafting team pays like 25K to his former team and that's it...
