Fun With The Elias Rankings - Lookout Landing

Satirical post about the flaws of the Elias Rankings, that surprisingly work to the favor of the Braves and their potential departing free agents. Also for more interesting reading, the Deadspin article on the same topic.

Ridiculous…

Question here:

Alright, so GA is a Type B FA. Obviously, if someone signs him, we get a supplemental draft pick. What if no one signs him or he decides to retire? Do we get anything?

that's a bummer

and yeah, i know we probably won’t offer him arb., but it was more of a question about any player and what happens if he doesnt sign or retires.

If a player hasn’t signed with a new team by the time of the draft, you get nothing, regardless of offering him Arb.

Just look at what happened with the Brewers and Ben Sheets.
