Cubs Lose Sisco, Hagerty in Rule 5 Draft
As reported would happen, the Cubs lost lefthanded pitching prospect Andy Sisco in the Rule 5 draft today, notes The Cub Reporter. The Royals drafted him with the second pick. The Cubs also lost lefthanded pitcher Luke Hagerty, who had Tommy John surgery in 2003, to the Orioles. (See list of draft picks in pdf format.)
I think it likely that both players will fail to stay on the big league roster for the entire 2005 season, and will have to be offered back to the Cubs.
UPDATE: The Orioles traded Hagerty to the Marlins.
