    Breaking down Compensation for Free Agents

    There already have been 10 free-agent signings that will require compensation. Additionally, there are still five teams who haven't signed first-round picks from the 2004 draft, and each will receive a supplemental first-rounder next year if they can't get those deals done. So let's start by looking at choices that have changed hands or been added to the supplemental rounds at this point:

    First Round
    17. Yankees (from Phillies for Type B Jon Lieber)
    22. Marlins (from Giants for Type A Armando Benitez)
    29. Braves (from Yankees for Type A Jaret Wright)

    Supplemental First Round
    31. Rockies (for Type A Vinny Castilla)
    32. Indians (for Type A Omar Vizquel)
    33. Marlins (for Benitez)
    34. Athletics (for Type A Damian Miller)
    35. Angels (for Type A Troy Percival)
    36. Braves (for Wright)
    37. Mets (for failure to sign Philip Humber*)
    38. Devil Rays (for failure to sign Jeff Niemann*)
    39. Orioles (for failure to sign Wade Townsend)
    40. Angels (for failure to sign Jered Weaver*)
    41. Diamondbacks (for failure to sign Stephen Drew*)
    (*First-round pick still eligible to sign with club.)

    Second Round
    45. Rockies (from Nationals for Castilla)
    46. Athletics (from Brewers for Miller)
    51. Angels (from Tigers for Percival)
    63. Indians (from Giants for Vizquel)

    Supplemental Second Round
    72. Marlins (for Type C Mike Redmond, signed with Twins)
    73. Twins (for Type C Henry Blanco, signed with Cubs)

    Third Round
    77. Twins (from Nationals for Type B Cristian Guzman)

    By my count, there are 22 remaining free agents who will require compensation if they switch teams:

    Type A
    Wilson Alvarez (LA), Carlos Beltran (Hou), Adrian Beltre (LA), Orlando Cabrera (Bos), Roger Clemens (Hou), Corey Koskie (Min), Derek Lowe (Bos), Pedro Martinez (Bos), Mike Matheny (StL), Carl Pavano (Fla), Odalis Perez (LA), Placido Polanco (Phi), Edgar Renteria (StL), Richie Sexson (Ari), Jason Varitek (Bos), David Wells (SD).

    Type B
    Matt Clement (ChC), Orlando Hernandez (NYY), Brent Mayne (LA), Ron Villone (Sea), Gregg Zaun (Tor).

    Type C
    Todd Greene (Col).
