Russell Wilson to Rangers - Rule 5.

[jim]

I think this is kind of interesting, and it seemed to fly under the radar. Russell Wilson, yes THE Russell Wilson, was picked up by the Rangers in the Rule 5 draft from Colorado.

I guess the Rangers are talking to him about going to ST and working out and talking to the minor league guys, and apparently he is receptive to it. Kind of an unusual move, but they figured the price was right to get a guy in camp that could share some insight into work ethic etc...
