Draft Compensation question

atlbravos · 12-17-2014, 01:07 PM

Is there a way know which draft picks will definitely not result in a compensated pick before you make that pick?

I just learned (the hard way) that you cannot be compensated for draft pick that was already a compensation pick (even though in your email at the end of the draft it says you will be).

I had 5 third round picks, and there was a terrible draft class and I already had a healthy minor league system. I only signed one of the picks thinking I would get all four back next year, but I didn't get any! It was my fault this time, but I need to know the best way to avoid it going forward.

Draft trading is turned on. Is it possible that some draft picks I trade for could be compensation eligible, while other's aren't, even if they're in the same round?

I don't think you can trade for compensation picks. Only regular picks from that season.
