Who are the best rule 5 picks of all time? I'll list a few that come off the top of my mind:

Johan Santana
Trevor Hoffman
Roberto Clemente
Scott Posednick (I think?)
Derrick Turnbow
Dan Uggla (hard telling at this point)

Are there any more that you all can think of?

Hanley Ramirez doesn't make errors--the ball is just afraid of him.
Shadez was the first man to walk on the moon... with sunglasses on.
In rookie ball, he drove a ball to deep centerfield, only to be informed he had been traded on his way to first base. So, he sprinted to the wall and robbed himself of a homerun.
He can turn a man to stone just by looking at him without his shades.
Was pointed at when Babe Ruth supposedly called his shot.
The June 24th game between the Marlins and Yankees was not, in fact, called by rain as was previously reported. Hanley had plans. And by plans we mean a date. With a girl. A babe if you will.

When I think of it, Johan Santana & Dan Uggla are the first two to come to mind.

For example, Cy Young award winner Johan Santana was chosen by the Minnesota Twins four years before winning the award, when the Houston Astros declined to put him on their 40 man roster. The Twins chose Santana in the 1999 rule 5 draft, and kept him on their roster for the 2000 season, in which he toiled to a 6.49 earned run average at only 21 years of age. Two years later, he legitimized himself as a Major League pitcher, with an ERA under three, and two years after that, he was recognized as the best pitcher in the league, winning the award. Had he not been chosen in the rule 5 draft, he likely would not have made his major league debut until the 2001 or the 2002 season with the Astros.

Between Clemente or Santana, maybe Johan by a bit. Clemente was a great hitter, probably will be a HOFer.

Clemente is a HOFer, been there pretty much since he died.

I'd say Hoffman is a big one, didn't know about it. One of the best closers ever will be the first to 500 saves.
