Records before Season 5 are not available so we will pick it up from there. Players that are still active are the only ones that will make the list. From Season 5 through Season 8 over 50% of Rule 5 players are no longer active. Many get put back in the minors after a season or less, some get bounced between the minors and trades. Some get a second chance at a ML career after a year or so. Most fulfill a bench role and do not get a big chance to play and their intrinsic value is not seen or has not been seen. But here is a list of the best that has made it and stuck with a ML team. There are a couple players that have been drafted more than once in Rule 5.
