I think we addressed this in the pre-season--check the e-mail archive.  My 
recollection is that Barrett brought it up and we decided that only trades would 
trigger compensation.  I know that when Gary Matthews, Jr. was waived and 
then signed with the Padres last year, I got nothing.

I think the reasoning is that guys who get waived, as opposed to traded, are 
pretty much useless.  Almonte would be a good example of that.

Actually, I brought it up.  Because there seemed to be a few people who 
defended the rule (Mark K. and Rich, as I recall), and no one who sided with my 
proposal for change, I didn't push it further.  It would appear that when I next 
propose a change, there will be at least two votes in favor.
