Rex Hudler Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 The Athletics and Twins now each have five picks before the start of their second round, and Oakland has an extra second-rounder as well. Here are the compensation picks as they stand right now: First Round 22. Twins (from Mariners for Eddie Guardado) 23. Yankees (from Astros for Andy Pettitte) 24. Athletics (from Red Sox for Keith Foulke) 25. Twins (from Cubs for LaTroy Hawkins) 28. Dodgers (from Yankees for Paul Quantrill) 29. Royals (from Giants for Michael Tucker) 30. Rangers (from Braves for John Thomson) Supplemental First Round 31. Athletics (for Foulke) 32. Athletics (for Miguel Tejada) 33. White Sox (for Bartolo Colon) 34. Yankees (for Pettitte) 35. Twins (for Guardado) 36. Twins (for Hawkins) 37. Royals (for Raul Ibanez) 38. Dodgers (for Quantrill) 39. White Sox (for Tom Gordon) 40. Blue Jays (for Kelvim Escobar) Second Round 48. Athletics (from Orioles for Tejada) 52. White Sox (from Angels for Colon) 62. Royals (from Mariners for Ibanez) 68. White Sox (from Yankees for Gordon) Supplemental Second Round 71. Brewers (for Eddie Perez) Third Round 83. Blue Jays (from Angels for Escobar) There are just five more unsigned free agents who could require compensation: Type A: David Wells (NYY). Type B: B.J. Surhoff (Bal). Type C: Julio Franco (Atl), Orlando Palmeiro (StL), John Vander Wal (Mil). Wells and the Yankees reportedly have agreed on a minor league deal, but it hasn't been officially announced yet. Franco, Palmeiro, Surhoff and Vander Wal all declined arbitration, giving them until Jan. 8 to resign with their 2003 teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 Good stuff, this puts the Sox in a great position to really fill their lower levels with some great prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted December 21, 2003 Author Share Posted December 21, 2003 They will have those four picks plus their normal first and second round picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 This is a great chance for the White Sox to rebuild there farm system. U think the Giants would hav signed Tucker if they knew he was offered arbitration? Oops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastime Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 I just hope that these draft picks don't become fodder for Kenny to trade away for half-season FA players when the Sox "go for it all" again in 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 How do they judge what position we get for draft picks? Is it the order the Free Agents are signed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 It is nice to have the picks but Sox will cry it is too expensive to sign all of the picks with there cheap ways lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 They've done a pretty good job in recent years of getting their top draft picks signed. If anything, they can be faulted for drafting "signable" guys vs. someone who may have more talent (Royce Ring as an example). Remember, Jeremy Reed was a 2nd round pick and he's acknowledged as one of baseball's best prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MnSoxFan Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 How do they judge what position we get for draft picks? Is it the order the Free Agents are signed? The picks between rounds are determined by the ranking of the FAs signed. Foulke and Tejada were ranked higher than Colon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hex Rudler Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 Our farm system would be in much better shape if Kenny did not make those foolish trades with the Mets, Rangers, and Angels last summer. And giving away Tim Hummell for next to nothing didn't help. because he would have made our team in 2004. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted December 21, 2003 Share Posted December 21, 2003 good. by the time all these 2004 picks are developed, JR will be ready to trade away Honel, Wing, Valido, Anderson, Young, Nanita and Reed because they're too expensive. We're in great shape for 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for telling me that sir, I appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
