Here are the results from today's Rule V Draft. Players taken in the major league phase must spend the entire season in the big leagues and spend at least 90 days on the active roster or be returned to their former team. In other words, Rule V picks can not be stashed on the disabled list for the season. Click HERE for the Rule V draft results tracing back to 1997.
