Never thought I wiould recognize any of the names from the AAA phase of the Rule V. But there they are... thank you Baseball Mogul

Also, does anyone know how the AAA phase works?

Also, does anyone know how the AAA phase works?

I think it works just like the major league phase. Any player who is rule-V eligible and is not on the reserve list in double-A or less can be selected in the triple-A and double-A phase. They cost $12K instead of $50K. If they're drafted in the triple-A phase they must stay on the triple-A reserve list all season or be sold back. Same with the double-A phase.

True story: I kicked Sean White out of our prom group. His girlfriend -- the one in the hot tub during his MTV cribs show -- ended up going with my best-friend; the two hooked up that night.

Nice pick royals

Rule 5 Pick Pitches Perfect Game
10th December, 2006 - 7:40 pm
MLB.com - Two days after the Royals made him the second overall pick in the Major League phase of the Rule 5 Draft, Joakim Soria pitched a perfect game in the Mexican Pacific League on Saturday night as the Yaquis de Obregon blanked the Naranjeros de Hermosillo, 6-0.

Soria already was dominating the winter circuit, leading all three pitching triple crown categories (9-0, 1.77 ERA, 73 strikeouts). But the 22-year-old right-hander struck out nine and threw 101 pitches to remain unbeaten.
