I'd bet Kyle Lohse could've done much better than 3/$33 had he not had compensation attached to him.

That doesn't make sense though. QO's should drive down the number of suitors on average to above-average players, but once a team decides to sign such a player, theoretically they'd want to sign a longer deal to amortize the cost of losing that pick.
