Blockbuster ... And I Don't Mean the Video Store

The first trade of the season is done ... and done.

Yesterday afternoon, after nearly a week of on-again off-again negotiations, The Kurt Bevormos traded their second and third round picks in the dispersal draft to Dr. Rosendowell for Dr. Rosendowell's 1st pick in the dispersal draft. The deal also included the two teams switching picks in the eighth round, a round in which, due to the snake-fashion of the draft, Dr. Rosendowell would have picked higher than the Bevormos.

So practically, how does this play out? The Kurt Bevormos now draft 2nd and 6th in the March 14th dispersal draft, but sacrifice their other two dispersal draft picks. Dr. Rosendowell, on the other hand, loses out on a first round pick, but gets four picks in the dispersal draft and, because the fourth round is a reverse-snake round, has the 3rd pick of the fourth round.

To summarize (and this took at least seventeen minutes of writing down numbers and counting forward and backwards for me to figure out), through four rounds of the draft The Kurt Bevormos will have the 2nd, 6th and 46th picks, and Dr. Rosendowell will have the 9th, 13th, 16th, 20th and 39th picks. Additionally, in the eighth round, the Bevormos now grab the 87th pick and Rosendowell has the 94th.

What this means in player terms is that The Kurt Bevormos now have a choice of Vlad, Papi, Lee or Abreu with the 2nd pick, and then a likely choice of Bay, Soriano or ... PEAVY with the 6th pick. And then probably either Brian Schneider or Victor Diaz with the 46th.
