ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Rule 5 Draft isn't taking place until Wednesday, and while early buzz at the Winter Meetings might be about things like where Kyle Tucker will sign, there are always early whispers about names who could go in the Rule 5 Draft.

Teams haven't really started digging into the process of deciding whether they will take someone in the Major League phase and then who they will select, but as the baseball world descends on Orlando, there are some names who come to the foreground.

Rule 5 Draft, Wednesday, 2 p.m. ET

A refresher course: Players are Rule 5-eligible if they are not on the 40-man roster but were signed at 19 or older and have been in pro ball for four seasons or more or were signed at 18 or younger and have been in pro ball for five seasons or more.
