He hit .238 with eight homers and 30 RBIs last year Randal Grichuk Jersey , when he was sidelined between March 31 and April 12 with a strained left oblique muscle and between May 10 and July 9 with a strained left hamstring.“It will be exciting because this will be the first time I’ve competed for a spot on a roster since 2009,” Wieters said. “I’m excited to kind of see what kind of adrenaline I get in spring training, which I haven’t had in a while.”Shildt expects Wieters to make his St. Louis debut behind the plate early next week.“First of all he’s got a lot of experience,” Shildt said. “I also like the fact he’s been on winning teams, so he knows what that looks like.”Molina averaged 133 games behind the plate over the past three seasons.“I’ve watched him for a long as I can remember,” Wieters said. “There aren’t many catchers in this league I watched before I was playing in this league.” Dodgers see two players taken from their system"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections 2019 Spring TrainingProspectsCommentaryNews and NotesProspectsDouble-A Tulsa DrillersMinor league rostersTwo Tulsa Drillers selected in Rule 5 DraftNew,389commentsConnor Joe and Drew Jackson were both members of 2018 Texas League title teamBycraigminamiUpdatedDec 13, 2018 Jose Bautista Jersey ,9:48am PSTShareTweetShareShareTwo Tulsa Drillers selected in Rule 5 DraftDrew JacksonSteve Saenz ~ Rancho Cucamonga QuakesLAS VEGAS — Two members of the Texas League champions Tulsa Drillers team were selected in the 2018 Rule 5 Draft on Thursday morning.Connor Joe and Drew Jackson were selected by the Cincinnati Reds and Philadelphia Phillies respectively in the first round of the Rule 5 Draft.Connor Joe hit .304/.425/.554 in 59 games at Tulsa and then finished the season at Oklahoma City where in 49 games, he hit .294/.385/.494.He also hit a total of 17 home runs in 2018.Interestingly, Joe was selected as a catcher and apparently he has been taking reps there during this offseason.Joe was originally traded to the Dodgers in September 2017 by the Atlanta Braves for future considerations.Drew Jackson, who had been acquired during Phillies manager Gabe Kapler tenure in the Dodger player development organization, hit .251/.356/.447 in 103 games at Tulsa in 2018.Jackson primarily played second base, though he also spent time at shortstop while also getting some games in the outfield.

The Dodgers can also decide not to take the player back and then those players can be sent down to the original drafting team’s minor league system.As for the Dodgers, they have a full 40-man roster so they were not able to make a selection in the Major League phase of the Rule 5 Draft.And then, the Dodgers passed on taking anyone in the Minor League phase of the Rule 5 Draft.
