Detailed Midseason Breakdown of Dave Caldwell's Major Moves


Quote:Under the rules for compensatory draft selections, a team losing more or better compensatory free agents than it acquires in the previous year is eligible to receive compensatory draft picks.
 
 

 

If you guys recall, Caldwell wants to build through the draft.  OF COURSE he wanted free agents that were comparable or less to those who walked away.  The goal is to get compensatory picks, not to win it all this year.  Now, if we were playoff contenders, he'd only try to get in guys that would upgrade the team.  As it stands, he is looking for picks.  Since it's clear that we are not going to the playoffs anytime soon, you should be rooting for all our former free agents.  We want them to do better so our team can get more talented in the draft.  A number 1 draft pick and 3 or 4 compensatory picks would be pretty baller on top of what we already have going, especially if we could land another third rounder (doubtful since we didn't have any elite talent to begin with).  

 

Quote:The number of picks a team receives equals the net loss of compensatory free agents up to a maximum of four.
