Is there anyway of knowing what compensation free agent picks are going where? and anyway to implement this into mogul?
What do you mean? Which picks the teams will be receiving how let the class a or b free agents walk, or which pick each player will cost a team?
WEll I am just wanting to know if there is a list prepared at all yet for next year's draft. And if a signing like Sheets for example will still cost anyone a pick. That sort of stuff
yes, all players that are a type a or b free agent will still cost/gain teams picks.
The Yanks are giving up their 1st round pick to the Angels, 2nd round pick to the Brewers, and 3rd round pick to the Blue Jays, but still have a first round pick for not signing Cole last year. All Type A's that were signed by the teams that didn't have a protected pick (top 15) are giving up their first round picks, those that have protected are giving up their 2nd round, and type B free agents nets teams a supplemental round pick. The draft won't be set until the offseason is over is my guess.
I found this, updated December 31.
Angels should be able to boost their farm system considerably with all those first/supplemental round picks.Quote:

Stratsburg would most likely want to sign with San Diego I would assume. He has good stuff though. But would he sign if drafted by D.C?
If they give him the money, then yes he would.Quote:

EDIT : I meant our second OVERALL pick :P
They should have a good draft too then, number two pick will definitely net them a great prospect.Quote:

M's could have a bright future, don't they have a decent farm system as well? not to mention felix, if he can turn into an ace.
Yeah, just imagine if they still had Adam Jones and Chris Tillman.Quote:

I think I heard that the Rangers have the best farm system in the West this year.
The Rangers have the best farm system in the majors, bar none.
To: Texas Rangers
From: Atlanta Braves
Subject: #1 ranked farm system
You're welcome.

I think he was saying that Texas has a great farm system due to trades. Like the Tiexera deal.
Anyway. If I was running a mogul dynasty and wanted compensation picks for free agent signings, anyolne have any suggestions?
There's really no way to rank in any remotely accurate way who has the "best farm system" in any terms other than which farm system has the best assortment of prospects.Quote:

Yeah, exactly.Quote:

He traded away Dye, Schmidt, Wainwright, (guys who have proven themselves) and guys like Salty, Andrus, Harrison and Feliz (who I think will range from being good to great) for one or two year rentals (actually, in the case of Dye, for a utility IF and a 4th OF).
Now, it would be different if they actually re-signed a few of those guys, but because of a stupid in house policy of not giving no trade agreements, we have to settle for selling our farm for any big free agents out there, and unless we change this policy, we will always have to. The Braves used to be a team that people felt honored to play for, sort of like (but not on the same level) as the Yankees and Red Sox. Unfortunately, I think some in our front office still expect free agents to feel like its a privilege to play for Atlanta, and that seems to cause them to lowball several players, and then have to out right overpay for others.
I just think that we would have been better off accepting the fact that we would be down for a few years and let our farm work for us.
Ah, okay, I get it now. Your original post was saying that the Rangers have the Braves to thank for that #1 farm system, :p. In that case, yes, mostly. :)
They still have Type A/B/C free agents? I'm pretty sure they got rid of those in 2006 or so.
Type A and B, yes, as always. The system was altered but they most definitely did not get rid of them.Quote:

Please don't post that nonsense outside of the threads it belongs in. Thanks.
Yeah, it sucks not having much of a farm system. Oh well, at least I have Porcello and Crosby to follow.Quote:
