Here's a great preview of the Rule 5 draft over at the Pirates' SBNation site, Bucs Dugout. There seem to be a few interesting players available, although the most interesting will probably be picked up before the Jays pick. I think the Jays could be interested in Tyler Cloyd (RHP), T.J. McFarland (LHP), Cesar Cabral (LHP) and possibly others to stash in the bullpen for a year or forever. Personally I'd take a look at Thommy Pham (OF), Gorman Erickson (C) and Ryan Flaherty (2B/3B): they could all be platoon guys. Who would you want to drop to the Jays?

On Beato, Garik16 writes: Really the only pitch that's nothing special is the change-up, which still has the same sink as the two-seamer without the great velocity. So it would seem that Beato seems like he has the potential to be the next breakout pitcher from the Rule 5 draft, more so than the other three pitchers above.
