The Rule 5 draft is on Thursday morning as most people are looking to abandon the Winter Meetings to return to normal society as quickly as possible. In the past the Rule 5 draft has been a point of success for the Phillies with Shane Victorino (before rule change), David Herndon, Odubel Herrera, and Tyler Goeddel all joining the Phillies for $50,000.

On the flip side the Phillies have avoided damage in the Rule 5 draft.
