Brewers who have filed for Free Agency: Cordero, Linebrink, Miller, Koskie, King; Latest: Graffy, Jenkins

I assume we'll offer arby to the three relievers but not Miller and Koskie.

 

Should be a nice haul of additional draft picks to make up for those that we don't re-sign.

This is as good a place to note this as any, I guess. I was just on brewers.com and the Brewers have reinstated Graffanino from the 60-day DL to the 40-man roster. He should be filing for free agency soon also.

tony graffanino has indeed filed for free agency.

Hopefully -- I can't imagine Miller/King/Koskie being either type A or type B (maybe King)

 

Cordero and Linebrink are type A's --

 

 

These teams are draft protected, and stand a reasonable chance of targeting free agents. They retain their #1 no matter what.

Interestingly we are team #16, so if we sign a Type A FA -- we have to surrender our top pick (which will be #16 overall). So if

a guy like Linebrink gets goes to the Dodgers (and he is type A) we would get a 2nd rd pick and a sandwich pick -- with all the

sandwich picks rd #2 gets a bit diluted. The second rd pick for the Dodgers could end up being #80 or so overall.

 

4. Orioles

5. Giants

8. White Sox

10. Astros

11. Rangers

13. Cardinals

15. Dodgers

 

If we sign a FA (type A) -- we lose our #1 pick. As far as draft pucks go we could very easily have the most expensive FA signing.

 

I am not very excited about the draft picks --

[And That]

Basically, we need to not sign a good free agent, hope Linebrink and Cordero sign elsewhere, and then we can begin reaping the additional rewards of 25 innings of Scott Linebrink. Inma-who?

 

Sigh.

How do teams get draft protected? Is there some rule that you can't lose back to back 1st round picks?

How do teams get draft protected?

 

Go to the vending machine in the bathroom of MLB's office

 

(top 15 are draft protected.)
