From Joel Sherman of the NY Post:
INDIANAPOLIS — Barring a last-second trade, the Yankees plan to take outfielder Jamie Hoffman from the Dodgers as the first pick in this morning’s Rule 5 Draft, the Post has learned.
Update: 150:PM ET: Sorry for not getting this to you sooner: Hoffmann goes to Yanks in Rule 5 Draft

The chance of him staying in the bigs for a full year seems remote to me. Unless Cash is going to trade this guy it seems like a waste.
I was hoping for a young bullpen arm like Arquimedes Caminero. You could at least hide him at the back of the bullpen and use him in low leverage situations if he wasn’t effective.
