Around SBN: SB Nation NFL Power Rankings for Week 11

It's cool that the compensation pick for the Braves that allowed the D'Backs to sign Springer in 2000 was Wainwright, also worth noting that when Renteria left for that extra million dollars or whatever he allowed the Cardinals to sign Colby Rasmus. Looks like a great deal (for us), in retrospect.

Troy Percival

Adding to your list, after spending less than one season with the Cards during which he played for a huge discount, Troy Percival signed with the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cards got a sandwich pick that turned into starting pitcher Lance Lynn. This guy could rocket through the Cards minor league system in 2009.

If Looper signs with another team this winter, we get another supp pick. And I wonder what Xmas present that turns into. In deciding to resign Looper, the team must consider the opportunity cost of foregoing the sandwich pick in order to make the signing. It significantly drives up the cost for Looper.
