Comp B Lottery 2 PM EDT

[eb45]

It's all about showing me the pool money baby. 7 picks in the top 100. I feel like a 76'ers fan right now. #assets #trusttheprocess

Whatever you do, don't look at the Rays' 2011 draft. Actually, do that. It's pretty great schadenfreude.

[weams]

Cardinals, Royals, and Mariners failed to receive a pick despite being eligible.

I am still so happy about this.

[25 Nuggets]

May I have a run-down of the seven picks we're talking about? Do they include the two compensatory picks we're expected to get for qualifying offers?

We'd get a first round pick for all three? Nice

That is the way it works now.

Theoretically the O's could give Hunter a QO and if someone else signs him they'd get a first round pick.

The Only way we don't get all these picks is if we trade the Comp B pick or sign any FA that require pick compensation. Cueto now does not require Compensation. Nor does Kazmir.

[Ripken]

DD's plan:

- Go for it this year (even if having to deal a couple of prospects). Arguments can be made for and against this.

After season:

- Let all FAs go w/QOs to Wieters, Davis, Chen (maybe DOD and/or lesser player is signed)

- Use departing money to sign a [very] good COF and Starter

- Use 7 picks in two rounds (plus praying for Bundy/Harvey) to rebuild farm system

If he does it all right it could be really good, fun, and exciting. I don't believe this team has a snowball's chance in hell this year but I get what he's doing and why. I'll root for them no matter what. Also, I really can't remember a time with more potential major roster/prospect changes...

I'd go after Kazmir then.

Kazmir and Heyward.

[McNulty]

They can't get a pick for Chen. His contract does not allow a QO.

Where did you see that?

I know it doesn't allow for team control past the length of the original deal but this is the first I have heard of no QO.

Actually that is not true. Boras was not his agent. That was incorrectly reported.

I'm trying to find the proof but this has been out there for some time.
