Here is an up-to-date listing of the Cleveland Indians eligibles for the 2010 Rule 5 Draft on December 9, 2010. For future reference, this listing is linked on the right side of the page in the "Indians Resource Center".
Note: Rob Bryson and Travis Turek are not eligible due to a grandfathered exception for draft-and-follow players from the 2006 Draft. While the new CBA was adopted after the 2006 season, the new rules for Rule 5 eligiblity did not affect players who were still a part of the final draft and follow class. Both Bryson and Turek signed in May of 2007 and that is when their eligibility clock started.

As of right now, I don't see a lot of homeruns to be rostered on this list except Hagadone. Then, to a lesser extent, Bryson, Judy, Graham, Mills, and maybe McBride.
Ton, who would be your Top 5-8 guys on the list as of today? There's a lot of factors that will change things throughout the year, I'm certain, but on the surface it doesn't appear to be the crop it was the past two years.
Judy and Graham should get on the list as relievers as they are a notch above this year's Wagner, Wright and others.
McBride may if he gets behind the plate and picks up his catching skills again. Remember, BA had him one of the top defensive catchers when drafted - just didn't have enough time to polish the skills with his injuries.
The dark horse is Danny Salazar if he has a great season like De La Cruz or Rondon did and Bryson if he recovers.
The biggest names will probably be from the July trading deadline if we trade Westbrook and/or Wood. I still think that Wood will get attention as a NY, Boston or other team will love him as a setup guy for $3-5 million and no way he gets the game finished option trigger being a setup guy.
Luckily, we have more dead weight on the roster to open up slots for them with Branyan, Wood, Bixler, Toregas, Ambriz and Sowers (at least a few of these will not be with the club at year-end).
Unless they tank, I think Hagadone and Judy are locks. The only other two who I think have a shot are Mills and Salazar. Salazar could have a Rondon-like breakout year in Kinston like Rondon had in 2008.
