Didn't get draft compensation in my first year

I'm Arizona and Montero and Saunders both had amazing years for me but neither one is bringing in a comp. pick. Montero hit .287 with 25 HR and 90 RBI and Saunders was 4th in the league in wins with a 17-7 record and a 3.36 ERA.

Is anyone else getting their comp?

By default, the new CBA rules are on, in which the FA types are done away with and teams only get compensation if the player signs for over a certain amount of money, or something like that.

This is still off base...what there should be (if I were coding, and knew how to code anything more substantial than an Excel spreadsheet) is, next to the offer arbitration button, a button for "offer compensation tender", which would be an offer of the average of the top 125 salaries in major league baseball the previous season (for the 2012-2013 offseason, this will likely be a one-year tender at approximately 12.4 million). Obviously, there is the danger that that tender would be accepted, but if not, whoever signed the player would lose a compensation-eligible pick, and the team losing the player would accept him. (this also only would apply if the player has been in that organization the entire season)

I can't tell, by the way...was the signing cap implemented in the new patch?
