2037-2038 Compensation Pick Eligible Players
Below is the list of players who will earn you a comp pick if they are signed prior to the beginning of the season. Players who are eligible are ones who meet the WAR thresholds as below, and did not have a team option declined. Also, players who did not spend the entire season with one team do not warrant compensation.
Please. PLEASE if you have a player on this list, check to make sure they should be here. It's easy to mess this up, and fixing the draft once we put these picks in is harder than just getting it right now.
I will try to update this list as players are signed. (You admin folks can feel free to do so, too.) Others can help by reply to this post if they see a guy on it signed and we seem to be missing it. Thanks everyone.
Type A Batters: 3.2 WAR
Valeri Kharlamov - Las Vegas - signed
Mark Dempsey - Montreal - signed
Type B Batters: 1.6 WAR
Alfredo Martinez - Brooklyn - signed
Jorge Rodriguez - Yellow Springs - signed
Jayden Harsnett - Las Vegas - signed
Alfredo Salazar - Atlantic City - signed
Ignacio Marrero - Brooklyn - signed
Sean Smith - Charm City - signed
Carlos Garcia - Charm City - resigned, no pick
Type A Starting Pitchers: 4.5 WAR
Jimmy Greenwood - Calgary - signed
Mauro Flores - Brooklyn - signed
Hiroyuki Rin -Edmonton - signed
Type B Starting Pitchers: 3.1 WAR
Enrique Gomez - Rockville - signed
Type A Relievers: 1.5 WAR
Luis Ortega - Montreal - signed
Lee McHone - Long Beach - signed
Type B Relievers: 0.9 WAR
Steve Russell - Nashville - signed
Timofei Bakitski - Phoenix -signed
Miguel Macias - San Fernando - signed
Angel Amaya - Hawaii
Leonardo Gomez - Rockville - signed
So that's it. Potentially 19 players and 19 extra picks. Again, please check.
One last note, one of my many hobby horses is not liking comp picks. I do not intend to start a discussion here, but will be constructing a study to see who gets them and on what types of players. I'm bringing this up for advice on what you might think is worth knowing. My idea is simply to collect ten years of data on where the picks were going, and the type on contract the player was on prior to the pick being earned. What I'm not sure of is how to evaluate the team that got the pick. I think, I will look at the payroll/budget of the team the year they got the pick, and five years prior. I will also collect win/loss records in the years prior to when the earned the pick, and at some point afterwards. I could use help selecting those. PM me if you want to discuss it. I won't talk about it here. There's no point railing on the evils or praising the virtues of comp picks until we really know what they are doing.

I believe Lee McHone should be on this list as a type A RP.

Added McHone. Updated list for signed players. 14 comp picks so far. One the GB people needs to remind me when the deadline is. The constitution is out of date.

Re: 2037-2038 Compensation Pick Eligible Players
Do you get comp picks for resigning your own FA? I honestly don't know. I know it sounds crazy to do so, but it makes no less sense than FA comp picks in the first place. Let's say Carlos Garcia had a twin. You say you don't get a comp pick for bringing back your own player. So instead you use that money and sign an equal, identical player, Garcia's twin. Then you get a comp pick? Clearly the hypothetical twin thing is unrealistic, but it does make a point. The team that lost a free agent often spends that money on a similar value player in FA. It just doesn't make sense at all to me. What exactly are we compensating for?

no compensation for re-signing a guy you lost. we're compensating for losing the guy to another team.Ted wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 9:10 pmDo you get comp picks for resigning your own FA?

Yep, you are being compensated for the loss. If no loss occurred your just getting an extra pick for no reason.

Re: 2037-2038 Compensation Pick Eligible Players
Right, but if you take that money and sign another equally value player, you didn't LOSE anything. So how is that any different from resigning your own guy. It's logically inconsistent.handaspencer wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 9:53 pmLane wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 9:41 pmno compensation for re-signing a guy you lost. we're compensating for losing the guy to another team.Ted wrote: ↑Thu Mar 14, 2019 9:10 pm

Re: 2037-2038 Compensation Pick Eligible Players
also, I fixed the list for CCJ and Garcia. I'm just debating the sense of the whole thing.

Re: 2037-2038 Compensation Pick Eligible Players
Yep. As soon as you stop seeing compensation picks as rules put in for competitive balance and as only rules bargained in order to maintain owners' control of players, the easier it is to understand the dynamic.
In the case of a team signing their own player, the advantage that the team gets is that they can technically afford to offer slightly more than other teams. I know this is going to seem like slightly twisted logic, but it's true. In the MLB teams actually lose draft picks for signing other teams' players (which is something we could do, too, though it's an administrative hassle), but even if that's not the case (like in the BBA), signing a player costs you money and gives your competitor a value. So in reality, to maximize your benefit in signing a BBA FA you want to sign the guy for slightly less than the original team could--otherwise, based on the logic Ted's used above, you're improving that team more than you're improving your team.
That dynamic is a power-game that does either one of two things:
1) Drives the player to sign with the original team (keeps the owner in charge of the player)
2) Improves the losing team more than any other team (grows the owner's property value)
This is the purpose of compensation picks. It's a tool in a real GM's tool box, and it's one that "all" real GMs have only recently gotten adroit at really using. In the past it was only the GMs who saw the whole picture and were working to squeeze value everywhere. But those days of sleeping on the idea of comp picks are pretty much over.
-----
So, comp picks are not some devious thing originally designed as competitive balance that is being abused. Comp picks are about owners/GMs maintaining control over players and leveraging the situation so that these owners/GMs come out ahead when the player leaves. In real life, owners would not give up the comp pick system without the players giving up something in return.

I understood this, and changed the notes to reflect it. Was just arguing about the sense of it.

Re: 2037-2038 Compensation Pick Eligible Players
Updated and appears complete. All eligible players except Carlos Garcia (resigned with CCJ) and Angel Amaya (seems to have disappeared?) netted comp picks for their prior teams.
Regarding Amaya, I don't see him as signed. And he's not in the FA pool. And his HTML player card does not say he's retired. What gives?

Re: 2037-2038 Compensation Pick Eligible Players
I noticed this when I was doing the active leaderboards. If a guy disappears he is usually in the UMEBA. For some reason that pulls them out of the BBA pool.Ted wrote: ↑Mon Mar 18, 2019 6:14 amUpdated and appears complete.
