The Detroit Tigers are out of luck with six of their prospects as they lost a couple of players, while only selecting one, in the Rule 5 draft. The yearly Rule 5 draft allows MLB teams the opportunity to select players that have been in the minor league systems of another team for a few years.

Pitchers again dominated the big league phase of the Rule 5 draft at the winter meetings, making up 11 of the 15 unprotected players selected Wednesday.
