Former Yankee Jason Jones, drafted by the Twins in the Rule 5 draft, talked with the Pioneer Press and wasn't terribly pleased with how he was treated during his time with the Yankees organization.

Trouble is, as much as he welcomed the thought of being a Yankee, they never seemed particularly interested in welcoming him. He shared a spring training locker room with guys who worked for the same organization, but he had a difficult time thinking of them as teammates.

"That's how I would describe it — you just don't feel like a part of the team. There are the veterans — the superstars — and then the rest of the guys," said Jones, who was drafted by New York in the fourth round in 2004. "Here, there are superstars too, but it feels a lot more like we're a team. It's a lot better chemistry."

He also described how Brian Cashman barely said a word to him. Honestly, Jones was one of hundreds of players in the Yankees system. I don't know how surprising that really is. This isn't all that bad, but it does make for funny circumstances, should Jones come back to the Yankees. With the Rule 5 draft, a player must stay on the selecting team's 25 man roster for the entire season or he is offered back to his former team. Chad Jennings has an interesting take on this.
