Yes, they would. The waiver is for any player you want to redraft.

For purposes of clarity, would the Pirates need a waiver from Austin Kubitza if they draft him again? Is the waiver to re-draft just for first rounders?

He may be ranked #1 but he has very little leverage. What is he going to do if he doesn’t like his next offer – play independent ball or sign in Korea? Then the team that doesn’t sign him gets the same pick next year. The leverage is no longer with the agents and the athletes need to realize that.

Appel was #1 or #2 last year and he dropped. Why? Soctt Bora$$ is his agent.

Also, Rendon was the ‘clear’ #1 going into 2010.

Long way to go.
