what is this. honestly never heard of it. Is this for crappy teams? Then wtf is STL doing in there?

It is for small market teams. We got a pick this year which we used on Gareth Morgan (74th pick). They draw picks for the 12 teams and the first six teams get a pick after the 1st round and the next six get a pick after the 2nd round. This is the second year in a row we will get a pick after the second round which sucks. These picks are also tradable.

Boo. Dbacks get a B pick again.

The rest of the article that better explains it:

As MLB.com’s Jim Callis explained earlier in the week, teams that have one of the 10 smallest markets or one of the 10 smallest revenue pools are eligible to receive a compensatory pick between the first and second rounds (Round A) or between the second and third rounds (Round B).
The A’s, Diamondbacks, Indians, Marlins, Orioles, Padres, Pirates, Rays, Reds, Rockies and Royals were eligible for Comp Round A picks. The teams that didn’t receive an extra pick from that pool were placed into a second pool that also included the Mariners and Twins to determine which would receive a Comp Round B selection. These picks are eligible to be traded any time during the regular season, right up until 5pm ET on the day of next year’s draft.
