Disappointment of 2008 providing a discount for Tribe's free-agent browsing

by Paul Hoynes/Plain Dealer Reporter Tuesday December 02, 2008, 8:26 PM


Kevork Djansezian/Associated PressIf the Indians are interested in chasing free-agent closer Francisco Rodriguez, the cost won't include the Tribe's top draft pick in next summer's amateur draft.
If the Indians sign a Type A free agent this winter, they will not lose their No.1 draft pick as compensation. They can thank their otherwise disappointing 81-81 finish last season for that. The teams with the 15 worst records from last season are guaranteed to keep their No.1 pick in the June draft regardless of what free agents they sign. The Indians just made the cutoff in the 15th spot. The Nationals will have two picks in the first 15 because they didn't sign their No.1 pick from last season.
If the Indians did sign a Type A player, they'd lose their No.2 pick. The team that lost the player would also receive a compensation pick between the first and second round.
The compensation picture came into focus Monday when teams had to offer their free agents salary arbitration. It was an eye-opening experience for the Indians, who will head to the winter meetings Sunday in Las Vegas needing a closer and an infielder.
Type A closers Francisco Rodriguez and Brian Fuentes were offered arbitration by their old clubs, the Angels and Rockies. Rodriguez and Fuentes have until Sunday to accept the offer. If they do, they're bound to their old teams for at least one year.

Two other closers, Trevor Hoffman and Kerry Wood, were not offered arbitration by their former teams, the Padres and Cubs. It means a team will not lose any draft picks if they sign them.
