Imagine being their number one pick next year. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 09:11
No. MLB doesn't allow draft picks or rights to be traded. -- nm - spamlet Jul 13, 09:09 22
- there has to be a way around that? nm -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 09:09 21
  - Nope. There is no mechanism; they're afraid people will just trade picks to the super-teams. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 09:12 19
    - Or teams would trade players to those super teams for draft picks. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 13, 09:18 1
      - Infinite loop. ERROR! ERROR! Recursion in progress! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! -- nm - Seligbot 2000 si Jul 13, 09:26
    - Hopefully this will change with the new bonus rules. I think the fear is that the Pirates would sell the #1 overall because they couldn't pay the bonu -- nm - spamlet Jul 13, 09:13 7
      - Or, we can solve many problems in baseball by dropping Jeffrey Loria out of an airplane. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 09:14 5
        
        If you can kill anyone you want in baseball and you pick Loria, you're doing it wrong. -- nm - David Jul 13, 09:17 3
        
        Selig is mediocre....Loria is an insult to the game. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 09:18 2
        
        Now I want to push you out of a plane. -- nm - David Jul 13, 09:19 1
        
        Strap Loria to me, I'm willing to consider this. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 09:20
        
        Haha. :-) This! -- nm - Krusty Jul 13, 09:17
      - but if they got 3 or 4 other prospects for it, that would be good for them. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 09:14
    - they could not sign him for the figure he wanted, trade him to team X for a player and that cash back? nm -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 09:13 8
      - Nope, you can't trade a player till he's been under contract for 1 year. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 09:14 7
        
        ugh. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 09:14 6
        
        The answer is simple ... just have signing slots. - Will Hunting Jul 13, 09:16 5
        
        The MLB Player's Union is much more power than the NBA's. -- nm - David Jul 13, 09:17 4
        
        If you can't get pro players to understand that the less the unproven's take, the more is left for the proven, you're awful at your job. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 13, 09:20 1
        
        this -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 09:23

        pretty dude. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 09:19
  - No. -- nm - Bud Selig SI Jul 13, 09:10
