Resolving Contested Draft Picks

First up, Brett Anderson (Salary 1739)

Among teams with their full salary cap allocation remaining, Beer Thirty has him ranked highest and gets him.

John Axford (1263)

Detroit has the higher rank and gets him.

Jhoulys Chacin (1217)

Dang gets him based on salary cap remaining.

Buster Posey (1065)

See the draft rules...we go to Tiebreaker #2 to resolve between Phlegm and Quinn and because Phlegm doesn't have a position player and Quinn does, so he's awarded to Phlegm.

Pedro Alvarez (739)

Based on salary cap, he goes to Horvitz

Michael Pineda (100, P)

In tiebreaker #2, none of the 3 teams with 45900 left in cap room have a starting pitcher.  Tiebreaker #3 (same number of players) and #4 (players at that position already signed) doesn't resolve the tie, so we go to draft rank which puts him on Vandelay

J.P. Arencibia (100, C)

It's between Twomay and Quinn...and they both have position players, but neither one has a catcher, so we get to tiebreaker #5, where Twomey gets him based on draft rank.

Dustin Ackley (100, 2B, "A")

Three teams have 45800 left in cap room.  Neither Vandalay nor Twomey have a position player, so they advance past tiebreaker #2.  We blow through the next 2 tiebreakers and based on rank, he goes to Vandalay.

Tsuyoshi Nishioka (100, 2B, "N")

To Quinn (salary cap)

Bryce Harper (100, OF)

Because Elias doesn't yet have a position player, that's where he goes based on tiebreaker #2

Three players were picked by 5 teams....

Jason Heyward (2096)

To DeGroot based on salary cap left.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia (247)

2 teams have the same cap room left - from tiebreaker #2, Elias has the fewer number of position players signed and gets him.

Mike Trout (100, OF)

To Smallville based on cap room
