I'm either getting old or just a brainfart. Hopefully, the latter. Time for a scotch! @MatthewMueller You are right! I’m either getting old or just a brainfart. Hopefully, the latter.

It depends on who acquires him in free agency (not the Padres). If we trade for him and Boston picks him up as a FA, it would be a 1st round pick unless Boston had signed a higher rated FA based on the Elias rankings, which then we get a 2nd round pick. @Mylegacy Its not necessarily a second round pick.

Also, he's a Type A - meaning we could get a 1st round pick AND a Supplemental 1st as well. BUT - The Pads will CLEARLY be picking in the first 15 - SO - we'd get their 2nd round pick instead of their 1st. IF - AA's brain trust think they know of an easy fix to get Heath's SO touch back - then maybe. AA could trade 3 or 4 B Prospects for him IF they thought they could fix and resign him. OR - if they can't fix - I'm sure he wouldn't accept arbitration and would get us a supplemental 1st and a 2nd round pick - lots worse things than that. Seems like an "if" too many for me. BUT - I'm really intrigued. Jared

Man – this guy has been a stud – but – I’m concerned about the drop off in SO’s. Also, he’s a Type A – meaning we could get a 1st round pick AND a Supplemental 1st as well. BUT – The Pads will CLEARLY be picking in the first 15 – SO – we’d get their 2nd round pick instead of their 1st.

IF – AA’s brain trust think they know of an easy fix to get Heath’s SO touch back – then maybe. AA could trade 3 or 4 B Prospects for him IF they thought they could fix and resign him. OR – if they can’t fix – I’m sure he wouldn’t accept arbitration and would get us a supplemental 1st and a 2nd round pick – lots worse things than that.

Seems like an “if” too many for me. BUT – I’m really intrigued.
