I was under the belief, Rule 5 players must be on the roster the entire year (unless injured).
How did Veal pitch 7 games with the Pirates AA team and 9 with their AAA team? He's now pitching in the AFL.
Yes, he had a whopping 19 games for 16 innings on the Pirates where he had a 7.16 era.
I'm not exactly sure how it's possible he had nearly as many minor league games as major league games. Doesn't that circumvent the entire point of the Rule 5 draft?
