Free Mlb Guaranteed Picks
December 22nd, 2006
Are the top 15 picks in the mlb draft guaranteed?
even if they get a type A free agent
Yep. A team will lose their next pick from the 2nd round on.
You may be wondering then how the Nationals had 2 picks in the top 15 this year.
That’s because they failed to sign their 2008 1st round pick. They then received compensation in the 10th pick, which is one pick later than their pick last year.
This year, The Rangers at 14 were unable to sign their pick. Next year, they’ll get the 15th pick, plus the pick they would normally get. This technically makes the top 16 picks protected, and the remaining 16(since the Rays couldn’t sign their pick either) unprotected from Type A Free Agency
