A provision in the latest CBA designed to incentivize teams to start their hotshot prospects on the big league roster instead of suppressing their service times. If a highly regarded prospect spends a certain amount of time on the roster and wins Rookie of the Year (or finishes highly in MVP/Cy Young voting), the team gets a pick.
If you're wondering, we get nothing for Harris because he didn't spend enough time on our roster and wasn't featured on the prospect lists.
Guess the Braves will try to give some big bucks to a lower drafted player.

Well, there's a pretty good clue as to Waldrep's asking price.

Has to be a slot related thing.

Here’s the token reminder that you need to evaluate draft classes as a whole and not by round. A better way to evaluate these picks is by the signing bonus. That will tell you how the Braves valued them.

We’ll see. I doubt it. Keith Law had him to us in his mock a few days ago.

Drue Hackeberg.... I do not approve of that spelling of the name Druw. Cant find much on him. Supposedly sinker/slider guy. Has a bunch of brothers that have been drafted over various sports. Oldest brother was Christian Hackenberg of Penn State/Jets fame. So he atleast comes from an athletic family.
