2017 MLB Draft Results — Compensation & Competitive Balance Round A

By Jeff Todd | June 12, 2017 at 9:01pm CDT

With the traditional first-round picks in the books, we’ll use this post to track the “sandwich” selections that come before the second round: compensatory picks awarded to clubs that lost QO-declining free agents as well as Round A of the competitive balance picks (tradeable choices that are awarded by lottery to low-revenue/small market clubs).

Here are the picks:

Compensation Picks

28. Blue Jays — Nate Pearson, RHP, College of Central Florida

29. Rangers — Chris Seise, SS, West Orange HS (Florida)

30. Cubs — Alex Lange, RHP, Louisiana State

Competitive Balance (Round A) Picks

31. Rays — Drew Rasmussen, RHP, Oregon State

32. Reds — Jeter Downs, SS, Pace HS (Florida)

33. Athletics — Kevin Merrell, INF, South Florida

34. Brewers — Tristen Lutz, OF, Martin HS (Texas)

35. Twins — Brent Rooker, OF, Mississippi State

36. Marlins — Brian Miller, OF, North Carolina

          Agreed. Kind of ridiculous that it’s only being covered online (not a dig at MLBTR – a dig at the MLB).

    A shortstop named Jeter. I hope he makes the show just to make broadcasts interesting.

    Is Sam Carlson not planning on signing? How’d the Mariners get him at 55?

      Sounds like he plans to sign. The Mariners got a steal.

    Can you do a round by round result for the 1st ten rounds- maybe also do a piece on the best value pick you loved, the worst pick that was a reach, and the surprise pick that you by round?

        Id also like to add the idea of doing a signability piece. We know teams draft guys in later rounds n dish out over slot value- would love to see a piece on players potentially to sign and players who may forgo signing to play at college

    Am I the only one who thinks it’s odd that 2 division leaders got a pick in the competitive balance round? I know it’s last seasons standings. Just kinda strange.

      It’s not about the their record, it’s about market size/revenue.

      Yeah competitive balance is just an incorrect name for it. It is more like financial balance or a “welfare round” for small markets.
