Blue Jays: Revisiting the Rule 5 Draft picks under Ross Atkins
"George Bell's contributions to the Blue Jays are significant, as he ranks fifth in hits with 1294, seventh in games played with 1181, and tenth in offensive bWAR with 22.5."
"Joe Biagini was a 26th-round pick who made a substantial impact during his four years with the Blue Jays, posting a 4.74 ERA and a stellar 2.95 FIP in his rookie season."
"The Blue Jays experienced a drought in Rule 5 Draft selections from 2019 to 2024, with the exception of the cancelled 2020 season, but have made two selections in recent years."
The Toronto Blue Jays have historically excelled in the Rule 5 Draft, acquiring key players such as Willie Upshaw, George Bell, and Joe Biagini. Bell ranks among the franchise leaders in hits, games played, and offensive bWAR. Since Ross Atkins became general manager in 2015, the team has made five Rule 5 selections, with one player currently vying for an Opening Day roster spot. Joe Biagini, selected in 2015, had a notable four-year tenure with the team, contributing significantly before being traded to the Houston Astros.
