Yeah, it's really poorly written in that way. Almost all of the picks don't align with the number he's assigning them to. And he doesn't mean it that way - he's saying what the Red Sox top pick was, and creating a system based on that value - but he doesn't write that, at all.
This paragraph is a disaster:
Papelbon was #114 in 2003 Ellsbury, Buchholz, and Lowrie were #23, #42, & #45 respectively, in 2005 Bradley and Betts were #40 and #172 in 2011
What he means is, a year when the Red Sox originally had the #21 pick, they came away with Bradley and Betts. He needs to say that, though.
This is a good time for me to shout out how awesome the editors here are. Because I'd definitely have paragraphs that nonsensical-looking if we didn't. I'm sure it's a construction that totally made sense in Jordan's head.

Question
When a team exercises the buy out on a players contract does that money go on next years payroll? Or not?

Just wanted to see what the forum thinks of the current landscape for players through the lens of their ability to get the FA contracts they want and/or deserve:
The latest iteration of the CBA has clearly negatively effected the players and their right to FA. There's a stricter cap, and the aging curves have borne out that players past the age of 32/33 decline rather quickly. Unfortunately for the players, most won't reach true FA until about 30 and that caps their ability to cash in on a long-term deal. I know it would be a battle, but they need a different solution so players can hit some sort of freeish market earlier.
NBA has restricted FA after 3 years (I think), I'd have to believe that the player's would make more money in MLB if they were allowed to shop their services earlier while still allowing their original some semblance of control. Obviously, the strict cap in the NBA helps set the structure but I can't help but think that unless you are an ELITE free agent, the current process is hurting the MLB player pool on the whole. I'm not sure the current arbitration system is serving the players as well as it could.
What should the Player's Union look to do, if anything?

That suspension Stings since he'll miss most of the Summers. You've just got to realize as a player that they'll be watching you if you're going to use PEDs and you can't blame the ghost in the machine.

Question When a team exercises the buy out on a players contract does that money go on next years payroll? Or not? Depends. What are you referring to in particular? If you've got time on your hands, the CBT rules are Article XXIII of the CBA: www.mlbplayers.com/pdf9/5450407.pdf

Totally agree. But some are saying that that structure is a symbol of the Maimi culture and want it replaced with something else with a Latin feel. IMO Jeter just wants to add seats out in that center field area to help with all the financial problems with that franchise.

Read a story and bleacher report's by Evan Massey the other day on Red Sox Prospect second baseman Brett Netzer. very good article stating that his family member worked in the Red Sox organization in sales and would come and watch Red Sox games at Fenway Park. Netzer sounds like a very well-rounded kid. when asked about things that he likes to do when he's off the field you responded with anything outdoors with my family and reading my Bible. Don't hear that much so maybe this kid will stay out of trouble and make it to the majors.

Just wanted to put this in on this thread. There's a new Thread about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame since it started two members libertine and philbosoxfan have shared some great music on that thread. So I suggest give that thread I'll look and listen some really good stuff during this dull and boring off-season.

GILTG, thanks for bringing so much to the board since you've joined, but can we keep it relatively on-topic at least?
