On the surface, that's not really that big of a deal, as they are in different leagues anyway. But when you look closer, you'll find out that the first round pick the Crew was supposed to get for CC Sabathia now turns into a second rounder. The Angels will now get the Yankees first round selection.
How can this be? Well, Sabathia was the number one rated Type A Free Agent pitcher. However, Teixeira was not only the number one Type A Free agent position player, but overall player as well. That means the Angels get the higher pick, the Brewers get the second rounder, and the Blue Jays get screwed just as hard, as they now get a third rounder from Burnett.
We've known for years that the Yankees have a competitive edge over the rest of the league, but I have never seen it this obvious. Even a team like the Red Sox don't seem to have a chance in that division anymore. Barring injuries, the Yankees may have already won the World Series.

The Elias rankings are a joke (super flawed) and the free-agent compensation systems needs a complete revamp.
Happy Festivus.
