Earlier this week, MetsBlog posted a quick rundown of the free agent/draft-pick compensation rule.

As mentioned in the post, compensation is based on three type of players, Type A, Type B and Unclassified, which is determine by a formula created by the Elias Sports Bureau.

At MLB Trade Rumors, Tim Dierkes provides links to the Elias rankings, as well as a quick breakdown of the rankings.

According to the rankings, the only Mets free agents that would bring back any type of draft-pick compensation if signed by another club are; Tom Glavine (Type A), Paul Lo Duca (Type B), Luis Castillo (Type B) and Shawn Green (Type B).

Dierkes also provides a listing of this season’s free agents that are represented by ‘super-agent’ Scott Boras.
