Not guaranteed to get them, but I figured it was worth a shot and worst case scenario I could probably draft the above pitcher again. He was only 21 at time of draft with only a single year of college stats due to when he was generated, and I thought he would return to college for 1 more year. However, he appears to have instantly became a free agent and signed a minor league contract after failing to sign. If the expected behavior is to become a free agent when failing to sign, this could be easily exploited. Just draft an older college player with your yearly pick, fail to sign them and get a comp pick back, then just sign the player to a major league contract when they are a free agent.

Depending on their college year, they may or may not re-enter the draft. If they were a college senior then they would become a free agent.
I believe in MLB rules, you have to have offered them at least a portion of the slot value in order to get the compensation pick. I don't believe we have that criteria in the game right now, but certainly something we can also look at adding down the road.
