We'll see. If there's ever a process for it working without a ton of outside work, it's this.

I agree. It could add another interest dynamic to the league. Much like compensation. Is compensation necessary for the function of the league? No. But the interest factor and dynamic it brings makes it worthwhile.
Your exact number will depend on re-signings. I can say that I ran the projections for my team. Accounting for the guys I'll let go to FA and that I plan on giving John McNamee a cup of coffee, it gives me 31 players with Service Time. But if we were actually running this, I probably release Dusty Stapler and Clinton Harrigan to gain me extra protects. So, I'd likely have 29 must protects. I'll then have 12 players that are eligible to be selected.
So, in the end it would probably leave me with 2B Jason Wright 73/81 and RP Ben Fehr 66/81 as the real options exposed to the Rule 5 Draft. I doubt Fehr would be interesting enough to take, but Wright (especially if he hits his Career Window in the spring) may have enough appeal to select.
Using the current file for your Rays for the 2059-60 off-season (if you retain everyone)...
- You have 29 must protect players
- You have 2 eligible to be drafted players (2B Gaetan Nuntaray and 2B Nick Hollinger)
- So, you could protect everyone and still have the maximum of 3 slots open for picks
