Just keep in mind that the AI can select a player off of your 60 day DL in the rule 5 draft as he is no longer protected.
I lost a #4 type starting pitcher in OOPT 12 this way. Guy never pitched in the bigs for me, not even a Sept. call up. Had a long injury so I put him on 60 day DL which he was still on at the time of the rule 5 draft. He would have had a shot at making the club during the next year and was my best AAA SP. His 60 days were up but he was still hadn't recovered so I left him on 60 day figuring nobody would take him. I was wrong. He has gone on to a decent #3-4 type starting pitcher career for teams other than mine. Lesson learned.
