You are probably right that the 2d round pick from the Cubs (and the Nats own 2d round pick) will slip into the 50s or lower. Hopefully, Guillen and Ortiz will bring additional compensation. But, given the spending levels we're seeing this year, I bet that the Nationals view it as a significant risk to offer arbitartion to either one of them. Let's hope both are signed before next Friday!</p> Good point on the Type B supplemental picks.

I really enjoy reading all your updates. You are very thorough. Thanks..</p> I just had to say your coverage of all this stuff–drafting, compensation and the minor leagues is just terrific.
