Eddy Yean, the guy the Pirates really wanted in the Josh Bell trade, is eligible for the Rule 5 draft. His minor league career has been underwhelming.

I have been traveling and didn't notice on MLB Trade Rumors that the Pirates added anyone to 40 man or make any other moves. Is that correct?

To me it is a bad sign if you have a year of not having a prospect that you worry about protecting. Maybe it happens because they have already been promoted to the 40 man before they reach Rule 5 eligibility but that doesn't seem to be the case with the Bucs. Maybe Peguero and Bae made it to majors earlier.

Yep, they left Siani, etc. unprotected.
