Carlos Tocci presents one of the most difficult cases. The Phillies left the wiry centerfielder unprotected last winter, and no one chose him because he was so raw. Remember, a team must keep a Rule 5 pick on the active 25-man roster for the entire season. Teams make protection decisions not just based on merit but on the likelihood that someone will steal the player. That is why outfielder Jose Pujols and righthander Ranger Suarez, both of whom turn 21 later this season and are in the low minors, may not be added to the 40-man roster.
