Like most Canadian baseball fans who also happen to be poets, you are correct sir. Using your info, I looked it up. I wouldn't have had a clue where to look without your lyrical answer.

To be exact, if a team does not sign it's first round draft pick, it gets a 2nd first round draft pick the following year one turn further down than the current year. So if I picked 3rd this year and failed to sign my player, I'd get the 4th pick the following year. I cannot draft the same player (and who would want that bag of scum anyhow?).

So I can sleep tonight. Thanks again.
