Had to look up what the minor league version of Rule 5 was.
There is also a minor league phase of the Rule 5 draft. Any player who is on the 38-player Triple-A roster is protected from being picked in the minor league Rule 5 draft.
There are no eligibility rules that have to be maintained in the minor league phase. The player is drafted, the player's old organization is paid $24,500 and immediately the player becomes a member of his new organization. Almost all of the players picked in the minor league phase of the Rule 5 draft are viewed as useful organizational players for their new team, but occasionally a player does find his way to the majors with his new organization. Top players picked in the minor league Rule 5 draft include
Alexi Ogando,
Justin Bour,
Omar Narvaez and
Alejandro De Aza.

Russell Wilson, a former minor league second baseman for the Rockies, gets picked often in the minor league Rule 5 draft. He's been invited to spring training to speak to the team that selected him and wear the uniform. He got an at-bat for the Yankees last season in spring training. It's becoming a Rule 5 tradition for him to be picked.
