Carlos Lee - Compensatory Picks

Who did the Rangers pick with the picks they got for Carlos Lee? I think Blake Beavan was one of them?

Probably deserves a little more pub. If in fact we did pick Blake Beavan + someone else with the comp pick. Add that to Nelson Cruz and I would say Jon Daniels got a great return on Mench, Nix and Coco. Great example of a trade that was trying to help them win now (Lee) and win later (Cruz + 2 picks).

Thanks

UPDATE*** Looks like the 2 comp picks were turned into Beavan and Bourbon. So to summarize JD trades:

To Brewers:

Kevin Mench (Bottom of the roster player), Laynce Nix (Minor Leagues) & Coco Cordero (Tier 2 Closer)

Rangers Got:

Nelson Cruz (2009 clean up hitter), Blake Beavan & Julio Bourbon + 3 months of Carlos Lee.

JD hasn't gotten enough credit for this one...

Everyone has been calling the Josh Hamilton for Volquez deal as an even trade... Maybe everyone should rethink the grade after this video?

This guy is a classic example of a million dollar arm and 10 cent brain.
