Shane Drohan not protected I’ve had a Shane Drohan piece in my drafts forever now with an analysis on his stuff, so now’s a good time to whip it out. Drohan was not put on the 40-man roster by the deadline, and can now be picked up in the Rule 5 Draft in September — but I do doubt any team will. Some Red Sox people on Twitter were surely expecting him to be protected by the deadline, but given the hype around him for the past two seasons I wasn’t all that impressed with his pitch shape data and wasn’t necessarily surprised by Boston’s decision.
