2010 Draft Order Tracker
ByThe regular season is over, so it’s time to bring back everyone’s favorite RAB feature: the Draft Order Tracker. It’s always available via the the nav bar above (under the street sign), so you can follow along this winter as draft picks change hands as the result of free agent compensation. Once the official Elias rankings are released, I’ll add them to the bottom of the post like last year, but for now I’ve got MLBTR’s projected rankings in there.
The Yanks could add as many as five compensation picks (based on Eddie Bajek’s rankings at MLBTR), but that assumes all ther Type-A and B free agents decline arbitration and sign elsewhere. Not bloody likely.




I remember last year, when I was sure they’d add at least two (they had up to six or seven, I think) first round picks. Whoops.
My life is now complete
mike, who do we offer arbitration to?
I’m not Mike, but other than Hairston, I doubt any of them.
Probably Pettitte as well because of his low base salary.
the arbitration reward is only based on the base?
No, but it kept his overall salary nice and low. With incentives and everything, he made $10.5M this year. If he accepted arb he’d get a raise to about $12M. That’s doable.
Last year if he accepted it would have been $18M. That’s not okay.
based on his solid season, you’d be fine signing him to $12M guaranteed?
On a one year deal, yeah I could live with that.
you think andy will insist on something like that or you think he’ll be amenable to something similar to this season but with a larger base ($8Mish)?
i’d rather give him the same deal he got this year…he did well, but he’s a year older…maybe a $2MM raise (one to base one to incentives) if that would work.
damon, a 1+1 contract.
shiiit…i’d bring back jose if we win a series just so he can carry AJ’s jock all week…
matsui for the same salary damon gets, but no option.
I think Andy would want more, far more guaranteed money this year. Frankly, he earned it. In today’s game he’s an eight-figure pitcher.
yup, according to fangraphs, his season was worth $15M
…is there a list of what we’re paying this year, ie who’s part of the Evil Empire(tm) and their $200,000,000 Salary(c)?
Cot’s Contracts. Very Handy, Bookmark that ish.

Ahh. Forgot about him. Definitely Andy.
Jameson Taillon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish…
No way he falls. Still, it would be really cool.
might be a bit premature, but other than harper who can we look out for?
Jesus. You always look out for Jesus. No matter the occasion.
Sam Dyson, A.J. Cole, and Chris Sale!
I got Manny Machado, Nick Castellanos as big HS infielders.
so we offer arb to hairston, nady, andy as 3 type B’s. i dont think they will risk it on Damon, Matsui unless they had assurances they would decline it, which is doubtful.
So, how will the Mets screw up their 7th overall pick this year?
where there is a will, there is a way
So, since the Cubs had the #15 pick but got their pick pushed down to #16 thanks to the Rangers comp pick for failing to sign Purke, does that mean the Cubs first rounder is not protected and they’ll lose it for signing a Type A?
Or are both picks treated as #15 picks and they’re both protected? Which is it?
The Cubs pick is protected because the Purke pick is technically 14A. I should clarify that on the page.
Where does Wang fit in? Isn’t his contract up?
