One additional consequence of the final Qualifying Offer-attached free agent coming off the board (Ian Desmond<\/strong>) is the finalization of the top of the 2016 Rule 4 (aka Amateur) draft.<\/p>\n

Baseball America has the final order here<\/a>, along with bonus pools.\u00a0\u00a0 I had been keeping a working draft order myself where I kept track of the original positions and how much everyone’s picks “moved up” with all the lost picks.\u00a0 That XLS can be found here in Google Docs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s the first round and the compensation pick rounds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

There’s additional movement in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, but most of the key moves were in the top 50 picks.<\/p>\n

Nationals Impact<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • We gave up what was originally the 18th overall pick and what would eventually be the 16th overall 1st round pick to sign Daniel Murphy<\/strong>.\u00a0 Arguable whether that was worth the signing; not the point of this post.<\/li>\n
  • The Nats now have the 28th and 29th overall picks in the draft as compensation for the loss of Jordan Zimmermann<\/strong> and Ian Desmond<\/strong>.\u00a0 Those picks have moved up fully 10 slots thanks to forfeited picks above them.<\/li>\n
  • The Nats 2nd round pick is now 58th overall, up from 76th overall when the draft board first was published.<\/li>\n
  • The Nats 3rd round pick is now 94th overall, up fully 20 slots from its original spot.<\/li>\n
  • The Nats 4th round pick is 124th overall, and subsequent picks will be that slot number plus 30 for each round.\u00a0 So 124th, 154th, 184th, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    So, despite giving up our first rounder the team has three picks in the first 58 spots.\u00a0 Not too bad.<\/p>\n

    Who has interesting looking drafts coming up?<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Cincinnati has the most bonus money, just slightly more than Philadelphia, thanks to getting an additional Competitive Balance pick at the end of the 1st round.\u00a0 So Cincinnati drafts #2, #35, #43 and #79.<\/li>\n
    • San Diego gets the #8, #24, #25, #48 and #71 picks thanks to QO compensation and competitive balance picks.<\/li>\n
    • Atlanta gets #3, #40 and #44 overall and has the 4th largest bonus pool.\u00a0 In a draft like this is shaping up to be (top heavy but no clear cut #1), this could be a pretty good spot to be in; not having to blow extra dollars on a 1-1 pick but still getting a 1-1 quality player.<\/li>\n
    • the Los Angeles Dodgers somehow keep a ton of good picks; drafting now #20th, #32 and #36 overall.\u00a0 And it could have been even better had they gotten two more QO comp picks.<\/li>\n
    • Chicago Cubs; on the other end of the spectrum, the Cubs have gone completely all-in, forfeiting their 1st rounder, their comp pick and their 2nd rounder in FA signings. They have just $2.245M in bonus money, or less than the Nats gave Erick Fedde<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    • Close to them is Detroit, who keeps their protected 1st rounder but blow their 2nd and 3rd rounders; so they draft 9th overall … and then not again until #115.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
