It does my heart good to see that we are now taking our minor league system seriously, and that it Is regularly producing quality prospects and replacements, if not outright stars.

Larry Krueger was talking about a local HS kid named Hooper LHP 275 pounds. He might be the first pick or he may go to UCLA. Big kid.

Because of Sandoval?

 

[SFGRTB]

We pick 18th because of all the teams ahead of us that lost draft picks by signing guys like Sandoval. We pick 31st because of Sandoval.

There is the first round, ranked in reverse order of final regular season standings (playing in W.S. doesn't change anything), the compensation round, where teams who lost free agents with qualifying offers are awarded a draft pick as compensation, and then there is the competitive balance round, which is a lottery based round for small market teams only. Then it's the second round and so on.

Teams that sign a player with a qualifying offer and are ranked outside of the top 12 [10?] lose their first round pick. It doesn't go to the team losing the free agent though, like the old process. Quite simply, the team losing the player gains a compensation round pick, which is held between the first round and the competitive balance round.

Small correction.

Only the first 10 non-compensation picks are protected. This year the top 11 were protected because Houston has the #2 pick as compensation for not signing Aiken last year.

Giants have the 10th most money to spend on the draft as well. I've really liked the way they've approached the draft recently. And I like our chances of someone falling to the Giants this year. It's really nice picking almost twice in the first round coming off winning the World Series, and having a good chunk of money to spend.

Thanks, I wasn't sure if it was 10 or 12.

It used to be just the top 10 picks, period. But the Mets chase of Bourne a couple years ago shined a light on the oversight, so now compensation picks in the top 10 are protected as well as the first 10 non-compensation picks.

Thanks. Sure seems a convoluted process.

I explained this quite while ago. In great detail.

Ok.

You get the credit.

2 + 2 = 4.

Apparently, some things need to be repeated over and over and ...
