Last week, Major League Baseball announced which teams were awarded Competitive Balance picks in next summer’s annual amateur draft. These picks are generally awarded to teams that are considered to be near to bottom in terms of market size in order to try and help level the playing field a bit for those who aren’t cash rich like the Yankees or Red Sox. Under the old Competitive Balance system picks were awarded based on a formula that included revenue sharing and winning percentage, but the new system in place simply flips the teams in Round A and Round B each year.
