I seen it a ton, but never really understood it.

Rule 5 draft\n\nIf a player not on a 40-man roster has spent three years with a pro (minor league) contract, he is eligible to be chosen by any team in the rule 5 draft during the offseason. No team is required to choose a player in the draft, but many do. If chosen, the player must be kept on the selecting team's 25-man major league roster for the entire season after the draft--he may not be optioned or designated to the minors. The selecting team may, at any time, waive the rule 5 draftee, such as when they no longer wish to keep them on their major league roster. If a rule 5 draftee clears waivers, he must be offered back to the original team, effectively canceling the rule 5 draft choice. Once a rule 5 draftee spends an entire season on his new team's 25-man roster, his status reverts to normal and he may be optioned or designated for assignment.\n\nThe intent of the rule 5 draft is to prevent teams from holding major league-potential players in the minor leagues when other teams would be willing to have them play in the majors. However, this draft has also become an opportunity for a team to take a top prospect from another team who might not be ready for the major leagues. For example, Cy Young award winner Johan Santana was chosen by the Minnesota Twins four years before winning the award, when the Houston Astros declined to put him on their 40 man roster. The Twins chose Santana in the 1999 rule 5 draft, and kept him on their roster for the 2000 season, in which he toiled to a 6.49 earned run average at only 21 years of age. Two years later, he legitimized himself as a Major League pitcher, with an ERA under three, and two years after that, he was recognized as the best pitcher in the league. Had he not been chosen in the rule 5 draft, he likely would not have made his major league debut until the 2001 or the 2002 season with the Astros.\n\nAfter reading this, I still don't understand it.

It's something that can't be explained. Only a woman can understand. Sorry, but your sweet for asking.

I have seen it several times. To tell the truth, looking back on it, it seems strange that everyone had gotten so worked up about it when it first came out (towns would not allow it to be shown because it was going to set off a wave of gang violence in Mayberry, etc). In fact, its just your stock war movie shot with gang members rather than soldiers.

I haven't any real idea.  I visited it to see what it was, but it looked pretty dull and uninteresting to me.  I like this site because you just never know what's going to crop up in the questions or the answers.
