"When the Winter Meetings ended Thursday, it was uncertain who was more likely to be part of the 2012 Braves pitching staff — trade candidate Jair Jurrjens or Robert Fish?

The Braves picked Fish, a hard-throwing left-hander, from the Angels' Triple-A roster during Thursday's Rule 5 draft. He's 23 and had a 2.97 ERA with 44 strikeouts and 18 walks in 33-1/3 minor league innings in 2011, 30-1/3 innings in Double A.

As a Rule 5 pick, Fish must be kept on the Braves' 25-man roster all season in 2012 or be offered back to the Angels at half the $50,000 claiming price the Braves paid."
