This doesn't impact HBD, but when a team signs multiply Type A picks in MLB, the team losing the highest overall rated player, as determined by Elias, gets the top compensation pick, whether that is in the first or second round; both (or all) teams get a supplemental pick. So, for instance, when the Yankees signed Sabathia and Teixeira in the same offseason, the Angels got the first-round pick because Teixeira had a higher Elias ranking than Sabathia.
