How did the Nationals get two top ten picks?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
There was a new rule put in last year that says a team that doesn't sign it's #1 draft pick gets compensated the same pick the following year. They were 9 last year and didn't sign their pick so they were awarded #9b (10) this year. It's a stupid rule.

Wow. I had not heard that. That is amazingly absurd.

Yeah. It's totally weak. So if you don't like the way the draft is playing out, you don't sign your guy and you get the same pick next year? Seems like it would be really easy to take advantage of this system.
