UPDATE 12-6-07 12:09pm: Okay, so the trusted source that informed me that Callix Crabbe went to the Seattle Mariners conflicts every other report that I have read. ESPN.com and MLB.com say that Callix was drafted by the San Diego Padres. It looks like the Padres, not the Mariners, sorry for the mix-up!
Although I'm not a big fan of the Rule 5 draft, I have some news for you. The Brewers, as expected, passed on their draft pick. The Crew did lose Callix Crabbe, however, to the Seattle Mariners. The Mariners have to keep him on the Major League roster all year, or give him back to the Brewers. They also pay $50,000.
I'm happy for Callix. He was putting up solid numbers in Nashville, but was roadblocked in the Brewers system because of Iribarren and Weeks in front of him. In 130 games in Nashville, Crabbe batted .287 with 9 homers and 38 RBI. Not too bad for a 2B at all. The best of luck to Callix in Seattle.
