Yankees & the Rule 5 Draft

Posted on December 9, 2009 by Steven Schwartz

Expect the Yankees to do something that they have done only twice since 1995: select a player in the Rule 5 Draft. The Yankees own two first round picks: the 1st overall, which they acquired from the Nationals in exchange for Brian Bruney, and the 30th.  There may be up to three rounds. When it comes to ...
