Resolving Contested Draft Picks

First up, Dustin Pedroia (Salary 2187)

Upland Smackdown is the only team that has their full salary cap left, so they get him.

Kendry Morales (1446)

Two teams both with full cap left...both giving him rank #9...Atchafalaya gets him in a random draw.

Madison Bumgarner (959)

Of the three teams with no players yet, Windsor has him ranked highest.

Craig Kimbrel (200)

Texas is the only team listed with full cap space.

Mike Minor (160)

4 teams have 45900 in cap space.  In tiebreaker #2, we look at who doesn't yet have a starting pitcher - and nobody does.  Tiebreaker #3...all have 1 signed player.  Tiebreaker #4, fewest players at that position (again, no one has a starting pitcher yet), so in tiebreaker #5, rank, he goes to Utopia

If the position is the same, we go in alphabetical order....

Domonic Brown (100, OF, "B")

California as they had no players yet.

Desmond Jennings (100, OF, "J")

3 teams have 45900 left....we look for a team who doesn't yet have a position player yet, and all 3 do - plus each has only 1 player so far.  Now in tiebreaker #4, we look for the fewest players at that position, and that rules out California, who already has an OF.  Between the remaining two, Philly has him ranked higher.

Five players were picked by 6 teams.

Jay Bruce (Salary 1748)

Cincinnati gets their first player.

Daniel Hudson (1087)

Between Philly and Texas based on cap space left...neither team has a starting pitcher yet.  In tiebreaker #3, the team with the fewest signed players so far - Texas - gets him.

Tsuyoshi Nishioka (100, 2B)

Awarded to Georgia based on cap space remaining.

Mike Moustakas (100, 3B)

It's based on cap space, but Centauri gets their top player.

Mike Trout (100, OF)

Down to three teams with the same cap room.  Tiebreaker #2, the team with the fewer number of position players awarded so far...and that means he goes to Crumpton (the other 2 teams both already have 2 position players).
