can we get draft compensation for turning down options?

Great summary of the Royals' FA signings.
"You'll never make it to the bigs with fungus on your shower shoes."
by MinnesotaRoyal on Jun 7, 2010 8:30 PM EDT up reply actions
The option has nothing to do with free agent compensation
Teams only get free agent compensation if they offer arbitration to a qualified player (who then signs elsewhere). Turning down an option has no effect on whether the team gets free agent compensation, as a team can decline an option and still offer the player arbitration.
Of course, as a practical matter, if a team does not like a player enough to pick up the option, it is probably not going to want to risk arbitration with him either.
Where does Colon (and Grandal, for that matter) stack up compared to Seiler's Top 20?
This might have been of use earlier, Seiler’s ratings
http://www.mlbbonusbaby.com/2010/6/1/1496364/seiler-ratings-for-top-100
(first number is for expected-round-drafted, letter is for ceiling, second number is for likelihood the prospect makes it to ML, the higher the better)
But what I wanted to look at is the tiers: of course there’s the first three, then really only Pomeranz and J Sale have the 1B3 ranking. Nine further players have 1B2 rankings, including Colon and Grandal.
1. Bryce Harper, C, CC of Southern Nevada – 1A2
2. Jameson Taillon, RHP, The Woodlands HS (TX) – 1A1
3. Manny Machado, SS, Brito Private HS (FL) – 1B3
4. Drew Pomeranz, LHP, Ole Miss – 1B3
5. Chris Sale, LHP, Florida Gulf Coast – 1B2
6. Josh Sale, OF, Bishop Blanchet HS (WA) – 1B3
7. Deck McGuire, RHP, Georgia Tech – 1B1
8. Yasmani Grandal, C, Miami – 1B2
9. Karsten Whitson, RHP, Chipley HS (FL) – 1B2
10. Christian Colon, SS, Cal State Fullerton – 1B2
11. Nick Castellanos, 3B, Archbishop McCarthy HS (FL) – 1B2
12. Zack Cox, 3B, Arkansas – 1B2
13. Dylan Covey, RHP, Maranatha HS (CA) – 1B1
14. Stetson Allie, RHP, St. Edward HS (OH) – 1A1
15. Alex Wimmers, RHP, Ohio State – 1B2
16. Michael Choice, OF, UT Arlington – 1B2
17. Matt Harvey, RHP, North Carolina – 1B1
18. Kaleb Cowart, RHP/3B, Cook County HS (GA) – 1B1
19. Brandon Workman, RHP, Texas – 1B2
20. Justin O’Conner, C/SS, Cowan HS (IN) – 1B1

Probably the best defensive OF in the draft. Can fly. Modest power though.

Chevez is more like a 10-15 HR guy, while D-Rob is more like a 2-3 HR guy.
Relive Royals History at royalsretro.blogspot.com
Well there goes that!
I like Gibbs a lot though. Peter Tago, Stetson Allie, and Tajuan Walker are intriguing prep arms. And heck, Zack Cox is sliding. Pay up and get him.
Relive Royals History at royalsretro.blogspot.com
Knowing nothing else
I see Stetson Allie with a 1A1 rating and would love that!
Great pick
He will be one of the first from this class to debut. Moore has to know he needs to show results or he’ll be out of a job. This pick will give results. He could be in KC by Sept 2012.
Start him in Wilmington late this year and in AA next year. 2012 start him in Omaha and watch him make it to the show
I could see him starting 2012 on the big club if they decide to decline the option on Yuni
Jamie freakin Wright, nuff said.
decide...I'll shoot GMDM if they don't decline it

Don't know whether Colon was loved or hated by the RR crowd
But I have moved from ambivalent to really liking the pick. Its a weak draft, better to go with a safe pick, a guy that can give you Orlando Cabrera-esque production, maybe even more power than that if you’re lucky. Should be a solid starter at SS for years.
Relive Royals History at royalsretro.blogspot.com
He has much better Plate disicpline than Cabrera!!!

I buy the comp bc...
Captin of the college USA team, led them in homers, RBIs, 24/26 on the base paths, natural leader, luvs the game.
by PREGNANT ROLLERSKATE on Jun 7, 2010 9:45 PM EDT up reply actions
Everyone likes to use the Jeter comp
Mainly because they undervalue Jeter. Don’t get me wrong (I hate him)- if he weren’t on the Yankees, he wouldn’t be DEREK JETER. But his biggest career comps are Barry Larkin, Robbie Alomar, Alan Trammel, and Ryne Sandberg. Everyone who uses him as a comp thinks he’s closer to, I dunno, Placido Polanco and is only Derek Jeter because he’s in NYC.
I agree
but Jeter does have unmeasurable Leadership and stability.

I think Cabrera is his more likely comp

I never thought of Tulo

I get the Cabrera comp Defensively, but
Offensively he is much more than Cabrera. Cincy has Cabrera batt leadoff out of need not bc he is ideal. I believe he is more of a Jeter type leadoff hitter.
by PREGNANT ROLLERSKATE on Jun 7, 2010 9:48 PM EDT up reply actions
Tulo is a middle of the order bat...
Colon is not! Colon is a 1 or 2 that can bat 3, but prefer as a table-setter.
by PREGNANT ROLLERSKATE on Jun 7, 2010 9:53 PM EDT up reply actions
I would definitely agree with that
I think he has a shot to move up quickly and he has been rated as a 6-batter or so, which would be solid with Moose, Hos, and Myers coming up.

I'm fine with it
I’m not jumping for joy about it and with my Shadow Draft I have JOSH Sale here.
Colon reminds me of Grant Green, which is appropriate since they were high school teammates and since I took Green last year.
Colon has the same appeal as Grandal. He can hit and play an up the middle position. There’s value there, even if his ceiling is good starter rather than all star.
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain
I think Grandal & Colon's ceiling are similar though @ different position
Colon is better than Gree bc Green’s plate disiclipe sucks and Colon’s is great.

4. KANSAS CITY ROYALS
The Pick: Christian Colon, SS, Cal State Fullerton
The Buzz: The Royals go with a very talented shortstop that can do it all. The organization is in need of talent and this was the most talented position player on the board. They stole him from the infield-poor Indians who pick No. 5. Signability is an issue here though.
Meh
Dayton always gets his first rounders signed and we’re not stingy in the draft. And even if he passes (unlikely since I can’t see his stock improving), we get a #5 overall pick next year. Win.
Relive Royals History at royalsretro.blogspot.com
Yeah, but didn't it take a while to get both Moose Tacos and Hosmer into the fold
Even tho they were “slam dunks” to sign?
Or maybe I’m remembering wrong
I'm fairly confident
Colon won’t sign until August 15 (or 16 which I believe the deadline is this year)
Relive Royals History at royalsretro.blogspot.com
Didn't have the Aug 15th sign rule under Moose,
Hos is a Boris client so it goes til the 15th, I believe Colon is a Boris client as well.

Not with those two they were last minute signs

Very good pick
Moore actually did what I would have the past two years. Draft the two closest to the Majors. They were both juniors in college I think and project to be MLB ready by 2012
Everyone has a chance to make it to KC by 2012. There won’t be too many petty arguments and this board will be much more positive once Moose, Gordon, Kila, Colon, Montgomery, Lamb become KC regulars in 2012 when we still have Greinke, Soria and Dejesus

I think a Salvador Perez Manny Pina battery wouldn't be the worst thing in the world

Jamie freakin Wright, nuff said.
Still, dwindling numbers on the strongest shots.

there goes ruffin
we’ll still get our hands on one guy we can go overslot with
I was just typing that
If he gets to the second round I really would like to see them take Cole. I love his mechanics and stuff. He shouldn’t have fallen THIS far

That’s the only reason. Cole is a first round talent for sure.

I like the idea of having local kids that would want to stick around after their first contract
Jamie freakin Wright, nuff said.
Nope, Castellanos

Vitek AND O'Connor
Muncie, Indiana is IN THE HOUSE

BTW
I watched a Ball State game a couple of months ago. Vitek’s swing looks good and he looks athletic. He didn’t have much to do in that game on defense so it was hard to judge that aspect of his game.
Perci Garner was very interesting. You could tell how very raw he was, but you could also see him LEARNING and trying out stuff. You could see him tinkering with the curveball. Fastball was very consistently 92 with some 94’s and a couple of 95’s.

Ranaudo is falling this far?
He was top 3 last year for college players. He must have sucked this year
I would take him at 54, in case Crow completely busts

I can't complain
The last time the Royals had a sandwich round pick, it turned out to be Montgomery. If I remember correctly, the time before that it was Billy Buckner, who was turned into Callaspo.
I’ll take that

there goes Ruffin now too
this supplemental round is starting to piss me off
Jamie freakin Wright, nuff said.
There's Ruffin.
Wow, they’re going fast now.
"You'll never make it to the bigs with fungus on your shower shoes."
I think if anyone asked me why there's a supplemental round
I would have no good answer.
"You'll never make it to the bigs with fungus on your shower shoes."
It looks like lets reward the big teams this year
not the teams that actually need more players
Jamie freakin Wright, nuff said.
Gibbs is still out there
Though I’m sure I jinxed it now.
"You'll never make it to the bigs with fungus on your shower shoes."
Did Stetson get a call from James Andrews
or something to fall this far?
He's a bit wild
And is known for losing focus and compusure. I love his arm, but he has some red flags and may be asking for a lot of money.

I would pass on him with #54 but if he is there with #86 you have to pull the trigger
Jamie freakin Wright, nuff said.
Ok, so there's the end of the damn supplimental pick
(C’mon, guys! Lets help the Red Sox, Tigers, and Angels stock up! They need it!)
So, who’s on your board for tomorrow?
And who do you think the Royals will go with? (Is there’s a toolsy no-hit CF out there somewhere?)
Gibbs, Cole, Austin Wilson and Ryne Stantek
are my targets if I am the Royals
Jamie freakin Wright, nuff said.
I'm cool with that
I’d want some discussions with Wilson first. If we’re even in the ballpark, take him…even if he bolts to Stanford you get an extra pick next year.

Brandon Workman
Did he get drafted yet? I had him pegged for 15-20. I think he has some great movement, an excellent curve, and has really developed command. Seems like a nice polished collegiate arm and I’m surprised if he hasn’t been picked.

Yordy Cabrera is another one I'm surprised is still on the board
Teams are scared off by his age I guess? His power is off the charts. He’ll probably be a .240-.260 hitter, but if he hits 30 home runs, who cares?

It appears the Rangers have already signed one of their first rounders
