R Yermin Mercedes has been selected in the 2017 Rule 5 Draft. He was selected in the AAA portion of the draft as has been assigned to the Charlotte Knights but will possibly compete for a positon on the opening day MLB roster with the White Sox.

In 2014 Yermin had one of the best ever offensive seasons with the White Sands Pupfish before being signed by the Baltimore Orioles. He has continued to be one of the best hitters in their system and thus drew enough interest to be selected in their rule 5 draft.
