Angels Want To Keep First-Round Draft Pick
Posted: Thu Jan 2, 2014 2:46 pm
The Los Angeles Angels have largely ignored any free agent tied to draft pick compensation this offseason.
They are committed to keeping their first-round pick in June's draft.
"We're committed to the idea of preserving our first-round pick," Jerry Dipoto said last month. "We haven't had one in the last two years and are notably thin in the Minor League system, particularly with upper-level pitching. … That first-round pick is something that's very important to us, just the impact you can get from it."
