You got the 28th pick as compensation for Chen signing in Seattle. You would've kept that pick regardless of Fowler signing with y'all. I think you would've lost a 2nd rounder if you signed Fowler but I'm not 100% sure on that.We also had the 28th overall as well. That was the pick attached to the potential Fowler signing.
The cost of sticking to your guns
The range of picks for QO compensation in this year's draft runs from 25th-34th. If the O's are better in 2016, they'll pick a little lower. So would it have been so bad to set up a possible scenario where the O's give up pick #28 in 2016, but get either a year of Fowler for $10-13 million plus a low-30s draft pick in 2017, or two years of Fowler for $27-30 million?
Pick was attached to Fowler.
