draft comp picks
anyone have the 08 draft order?
if a type B FA signs a minor league deal, does the other team get a pick or not? i'm asking beause this...
The Jays are close to signing Shannon Stewart to a minor league contract, FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal reports.
The team already has a respectable platoon set up, with Matt Stairs set to bash right-handers and Reed Johnson starting versus lefties and acting as a defensive replacement. If Stairs is going to play the majority of the time, Johnson, who covers his weaknesses better, makes more sense as the other half of the platoon. Stewart was surprisingly solid as a regular for the A's last season, but we're not sure how he fits here, unless the Jays think they can trade Johnson for a quality prospect. He's never been particularly good against lefties (699 OPS last year, 654 in 2005), and he doesn't cover nearly as much ground as Johnson these days.
