Corban Joseph was removed from the 40-man roster. Makes sense, given his injuries last year. Those left unprotected (and hence are eligible for the Rule 5) are relievers Tommy Kahnle, Dan Burawa, and Chase Whitley. Given how developed Whitley is, I expect him to be chosen. Kahnle and Burawa have talent, but their control is erratic, to put it mildly.
The Yankees also acquired infielder Dean Anna from the Padres for reliever Ben Paullus. Anna has played all over the field (including some OF) in the minors, and had a big season in the PCL (where everyone has a big season). Left-handed bench bats who can play anywhere are always nice to acquire. Anna was also placed on the 40-man roster.
Paullus was nothing much to write home about - lost in the sea of relief pitchers throughout the organization. He had a 3.01 ERA in 71.2 innings this year, but struggled when promoted to Tampa and will be 24 years old in 2014.
