We did some updating at NFA and it dropped the Alfonso Soriano and Jose Guillen compensation trackers off of the righthand side of the page. Here is the latest. (UPDATE: Reports have Scott Schoeneweis signing with the Mets. I’ve updated the information below)
Alfonso Soriano, Type A Free Agent
- Supplemental First Round: #32. This is set in stone and will not change.
- Chicago Cubs Second Round: #67. It is locked in the second round but the pick number can still change.
- Free agent starting pitcher Mark Mulder re-signed with the St Louis Cardinals yesterday, eliminating one more compensationable free agent from the pool. As of January 11, there are only three remaining free agents who will require compensation (final 2006 team in parentheses)
- David Wells (SD)
- Ron Villone (NYY)
- Chan Ho Park (SD)
- If the above three sign with any team other than their final 2006 team, a selection will be added to the supplemental first round thereby dropping the Soriano second round compensation down one pick for each such signing. Or more clearly, Soriano’s second round compensation will be somewhere between #67 and #70
- There is a draft pick at the end of the Supplemental First Round set aside for the Diamondbacks who have yet to sign 2006 First Rounder Max Sherzer. All reports hint they will agree eventually, but the pick remains as of today.
Jose Guillen, Type B Free Agent
- Supplemental First Round: #49. There is only one free agent left who if they signed with anyone other than their original team would return compensation. Relief pitcher Ron Villone is still unsigned. If he signs with anyone other than the New York Yankees, the compensation for Guillen becomes #50.
In summary, as of January 11, the Nationals have the following selections in the 2007 First Year Player Draft (worst case scenario):
- First Round: #6
- Supplemental First Round: #32 & #49 (50)
- Second Round: #67 (70) & #70 (73)
- Third through Fiftieth Round (keep adding 30 for each additional round): #100 (103), #130 (133), & … 1,510 (1,513)
