Updated Supplemental Round Draft Order

December 16, 2009 at 6:11 pm by Capitol Avenue Club under Atlanta Braves

Now that Rafael Soriano, Carl Pavano, and Rafael Betancourt accepted arbitration, we’ve cut the supplemental round down to a maximum of 21 selections:

# in Round	Overall #	Team Name	For (Departed FA)
1	33	Houston	Jose Valverde
2	34	Toronto	Marco Scutaro
3	35	Atlanta	Mike Gonzalez
4	36	St. Louis	Matt Holliday
5	37	Toronto	James Paxton*
6	38	Boston	Jason Bay
7	39	Los Angeles Angels	John Lackey
8	40	Boston	Billy Wagner
9	41	Los Angeles Angels	Chone Figgins
10	42	Oakland	Justin Duchscherer
11	43	Toronto	Rod Barajas
12	44	Tampa Bay	Brian Shouse
13	45	Seattle	Adrian Beltre
14	46	Detroit	Brandon Lyon
15	47	Texas	Marlon Byrd
16	48	St. Louis	Mark DeRosa
17	49	Colorado	Jason Marquis
18	50	Tampa Bay	Gregg Zaun
19	51	Detroit	Fernando Rodney
20	52	Texas	Pudge Rodriguez
21	53	St. Louis	Joel Pineiro

The teams in BOLD indicate the FA has already signed elsewhere.

Word is the Orioles are about to sign Mike Gonzalez.  In that case, the Braves’ compensation pick from the Orioles will be somewhere between number 43 and 56, depending on how many of the remaining 13 compensated FA’s sign with new teams.  The Braves also receive pick number 35 (or 34 if Jose Valverde re-signs with the Astros, which is extremely unlikely) in the supplemental round.

So overall, the Braves looking at receiving pick number 35 and ~50 (conceivable that 6 FA’s will re-sign with their old team or won’t sign a MLB deal before next June.

They gave away pick number 20.

Fucking unbelievable, a team offers arbitration to two Type-A Free Agents and still comes out behind in the draft-pick game.

Of course, the Braves also picked up Jesse Chavez, who represents something like a 2nd round pick, I’d guess.

And they could be looking at coming out about even if they’d also offered arbitration to Adam LaRoche, so they’ve really got nobody to blame but theirselves (and Soriano’s dumb ass agent).
