When CC Sabathia signed with the Yankees after the 2008 offseason, they were initially awarded the 25th overall pick. But when the Yankees went on to sign Mark Teixeira, Milwaukee's pick turned into the 73rd overall selection. The Brewers actually received a higher pick for losing Brian Shouse. "(The compensation rules) hurt us that particular year," said Brewers general manager Doug Melvin. "The only player we could lose that (first-round) pick on was Teixeira, and the Yankees signed him. We thought that was an unfair part of the system." The Angels picked Mike Trout with that pick they received from the Yankees, who is rated as the top outfield prospect.
