All minor league players are not eligible for the Rule 5 draft until they have reached about 5 years experience in the minor leagues. After they hit that mark, then they become eligible for the draft and would have to be put onto the 40 man roster to be protected from it

Isn’t there protection for players in the lower minors? It makes no sense to expose a high draft choice in his first or second year, negating the benefit to poorer teams of the June draft. One thing I never see is a list of minor league players exposed to the rule 5 draft, just the ones protected from it. It would be a source of great speculation to see the pool of unprotected players, compared the the ones protected. Maybe that’s why we don’t se those lists?
