Wait, huh? I assumed that meant those were teams we might get to give us some talent for our signing slots...since we won't need them.
Yes, this would make far more sense. We can gain some assets for our useless pool money.

surfing the web and found this pretty good article on the up coming international signing period.

Other than Maitan, who, if any of these are the Braves expected to sign?
BBA's Ben Badler has tweeted that, since last July 2, Dodgers have spent $90 million on international teenage free agents. In contrast, Athletics have spent $1 million.
In addtion, Dodgers have 3 of the top 36 June picks. Re-signing Howie Kendrick, of course, did not change anything in the June draft list. Better question is why sign Kendrick when they have already re-signed Utley and have Justin Turner and
90 million is beyond crazy. They have to address it somehow. Good teams get low picks in the draft but it don't matter bc they can out spend everybody on the international front.
Well in the current CBA, they address the possibility of an intnl draft in 2014 and have verbiage about teams going over in 2012 -2013... I don't see teams like the Yanks/Soxs and Dodgers being ok with a new CBA where teams like the Braves and Nationals blow it out on slot money, but suffer no penalties..
Those teams are the last ones that need to be complaining about fairness. I also hope the Nats arent allowed to go over their pool amount if they have not payed back that 25 million MLB shouldnt have loaned them last year. You dont subsidize teams with 160 million payrolls. Assholes probably giving them another 25 million this year.

How does this work? I know he's eligible to sign Feb 10th but wouldn't that screw up getting the July 2nd prospects? But if we added Maitan, Lazarito and Gutiterrez....WOW
we can't get lazarito and Maitan, unless we do some back room handshake agreement.. but there is no way MLB would allow that.
The Braves already reportedly have a handshake agreement with Maitan that dates back to June or July of last year.
