2015 Draft

[tjfla]

The Competitive Balance Lottery will take place in New York on Wednesday, MLB.com’s Jim Callis notes. Thanks to their market size and/or revenue pools, the Athletics, Brewers, Cardinals, Diamondbacks, Indians, Marlins, Orioles, Padres, Pirates, Rays, Reds, Rockies and Royals will each be in the running for one of six 2015 supplemental first-round picks. The Mariners, Twins and teams from the above list that miss on a first-rounder will each vie for one of six supplemental second-round picks. Callis notes that these picks are especially valuable under the current draft system, since each supplemental pick adds money to the pool from which a team is allowed to spend on picks from the first ten rounds of the draft. Teams are also allowed to trade competitive balance picks.

Awesome. After the job we did drafting this year, I'm pretty stoked.

This is the draft pick they're gonna trade for $880k in cash next May, right?

Ha! I was thinking about this since its only been two years of comp picks and we already traded Gaby Sanchez for Gorkys+one pick and the other one for Bryan Morris. Wouldn't be shocking to see us trade this pick at some point.

Would be cool to draft with it though obviously.

[nny]

Didn't we get a comp pick FOR Gaby?

[emkayseven]

IIRC we essentially traded our CB-B pick for their CB-A pick

The Marlins own the 12th spot in the 2015 draft. This pick is not protected.

[dgriot]

Already traded away the 32 pick in the Cosart deal

[Miamarlin21]

Forgot about that. My bad.

Honestly, if they do trade that pick and get something of value to the MLB club for it (i.e. Bryan Morris from last year, and that ended up being a good move for the 2014 team), I'd be totally cool with it.
