We get Atlanta's first rounder (#18) and a supplemental pick between
Round One and Round Two (projected to be #33).

So, if we don't sign any Type A free agents, the Mets will have three of
the first thirty-three picks in the next draft.

Here's hoping we draft well..................Mike

Thanks Glavine, this was your best play for the Mets.

Doesn't this depend on what other free agents the Braves sign
and/or lose? I did not think this was written in stone yet.

No it doesn't. What teams got for free agent losses is not depended
on where the free agent's going. The Braves will get their own
compensations on their free agents, not the Mets.


Even if the Braves sign another type A free agent the Mets will get their
#1 and the team losing a type A to the Braves will get their 2nd pick.
Also the spot between rounds id not written in stone. The Braves finished
with the 10th worst record in the NL so we should have pick 19 from them,
we should get pick 25. The pick between rounds should be between 31 and
around 40.


are you sure about that?

i think it depends on which type A free agent is ranked higher.
If the Braves were to sign a higher ranked type A free agent,
the mets would only get the Braves second round pick (as well
as a sandwich pick.)

also, if the braves were getting a top 15 pick, as I remember,
it would have been protected and the Mets would have had to
select a second rounder, but it was nice of the braves to do
a little better than that and merit, I think. the 18th or 19th pick.

This is similar to the responses I got a couple of weeks ago
when I first brought this Glavine got us draft picks issue. And
I believe you are correct, if the Braves sign someone better
before this thing is decided, the other team would get the first
rounder. After all, BOTH teams can't get the Braves' first round
pick. And the free agent signing season is FAR from over.

Obviously this was too much for the good doctor to comprehend.
