Loss of Vizcaino may be no loss at all
失去LV或許根本不算是損失
A few people e-mailed in this question today.
有些人在今天寫e-mail來提到這個問題。
Luis Vizcaino is a Type B free agent. So once he signs with another team, the Yankees will receive compensation in the form of the first-round “sandwich pick” in the 2008 draft.
LV是屬於Type B的自由球員。所以，一但他與別的球隊簽約，洋基將會得到2008第一輪選秀的“sandwich pick”作為補償。
Given that the Yankees are willing to pay over slot to get top talent, this pick could prove to be far more valuable than The Viz. Think this stuff doesn’t matter? The Yankees received two picks in the 2006 draft as compensation for losing Tom Gordon as a free agent and selected Joba Chamberlain and Ian Kennedy.
對於洋基隊來說，他們非常樂意空出位置來獲得頂級的新秀，這個選秀相較於LV來說，可能會證明對洋基更有價值。有人認為這個選秀無關緊要？洋基在2006年失去Tom Gordon的時候得到了兩個補償選秀，而在選秀會上得到了喬巴以及Kennedy。
LaTroy Hawkins was not classified, so Rockies receive no compensation for him.
LaTroy Hawkins並不屬於Type A或是Type B的球員，所以落磯無法從他身上得到任何補償選秀的機會。
