Additionally, the new MLB CBA grants compensation for unsigned selections from the 2007 draft. The following picks will be added to the 2008 draft:
- The following 2nd round picks were not signed granting the teams a pick in roughly the same location as they drafted in 2007 (e.g. Atlanta drafted their player at #69 therefore will receive #69A in 2008, a pick after 2008 #69 but before 2008 #70):
- Atlanta will get selection 69A for not signing Josh Fields
- Boston will get selection 84A for not signing Hunter Morris
- The following sandwich picks will be added in a supplemental 3rd round for unsigned 2007 3rd round picks (these picks will be made after the 2008 3rd round and before the 2008 4th round)
- Philadelphia for Brandon Workman
- Houston for Derek Dietrich
- San Diego for Tommy Toledo
- Anaheim for Matt Harvey

That can’t be good for Michael Barrett. He had an awful year, and some team would have to give up two picks for the right to sign him?
On another note, I sure would love the chance to watch Tim Wakefield pitch on our team. If he is healthy, there is no way the Red Sox let him go.

I’d agree, Wakefield is either retired or back with the Red Sox.

Since the Nat’s first round pick is protected is there no difference for the Nats between type A and Type B Free Agents?

Yankees exercised option for Abreu according to MLB.com

estuartj - Type B free agents no longer cost the signing team any of their picks. The compensation is a sandwich round pick. But to your overall point, yes, the Nats 1st rounder is protected if they sign a Type A free agent.
