Spring training may be just completed, but clubs still have a day or two to finalize decisions on Rule 5 draft selections they made last Dec. 10.

Clubs selected 17 players in the major league phase last year, and we know the fate of 11 of those picks already. The other six still had a chance to stick. Well, it's down to five, really, because Indians righthander Hector Ambriz will begin on the disabled list after pitching just two innings this spring. He walked three and struck out one. The fateful five:

• John Raynor, of, Pirates, taken No. 2 overall
He batted .227/.277/.409 (10-for-44) this spring, with a double, two triples, a homer and an 0-for-1 showing in stolen bases.

• Zack Kroenke, lhp, Diamondbacks, taken No. 6 overall
He went 1-0, 7.71 this spring, striking out two and walking two over seven innings. He allowed 11 hits and one home run.

• Carlos Monasterios, rhp, Dodgers, taken No. 7 overall
He went 0-1, 1.80 this spring, striking out nine and walking seven over 15 innings. He allowed nine hits and one home run.

• Kanekoa Texeira, rhp, Mariners, taken No. 16 overall
He went 1-0, 0.64 this spring, striking out eight and walking four over 14 innings. He allowed nine hits and no home runs.

• David Herndon, rhp, Phillies, taken No. 22 overall
He went 0-0, 0.77 this spring, striking out seven and walking four over 11 2/3 innings. He allowed seven hits and no home runs.

Naturally, the players selected toward the end of the draft performed the best in spring training.

Of the 11 players who already know they're beginning in the minors, here's a rundown:
