Losing an RFA

[Canada8999]

I think we can say teams that lose an RFA gain a pick in the supplemental round, but the signing team doesn't lose anything... then we don't need to worry about trading picks or not, and can handle that independently.

I'll agree with this.

That may be the best way to handle it, so that we can still trade picks.

When would  the supplemental round be?

Between the 1st and 2nd rounds

Between the 1st and 2nd rounds

For a Type A RFA that is lost.  Type B would be later (2nd round?)

We can do a second supplementary round.

I still think we should quit trading picks after the 2010 draft.  If the MLB doesn't do it then we probably shouldn't.  It adds some fun to trades, but we have 40-50 players to trade anyways plus some cash.  Plus, this would make it a bit easier for administration to handle.

I think you stop the drafting draft picks also.
