[edit] Article creation
I created this article to compliment the Rule 5 draft article. It's got the results of the Major League, Triple-A and Double-A phases for 2003-2005, plus the results of the 1998-2002 Major League phases. If we can find the results for more years, the page may have to be split up (one page per decade? Time period?) I'd like to flesh it out even more (with things like notations on who was traded immediately as a result of the draft or who was returned to their orignal clubs, for example). Any help filling it out would be appreciated, as even doing this much took a lot of effort. Sliver7 04:58, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Reference to use
I recently found that Baseball-Reference.com's transaction pages also include Rule 5 Draft data. Example: Transactions in 1998 includes data on the 1997 Rule 5 Draft (which I've just added to the main article page). Somehow I never noticed they had that data before. Still, it's not exactly in a user-friendly format. Anyone wanting to use this for other years is encouraged (nay, begged) to do so (and thanked profusely for it!). Also, while it includes transactions conducted in the minor league portions of the Rule 5 draft, it doesn't specify what phase (AAA, AA, whatever), so I didn't include it until I can find another source that gives more granularity.
