In baseball, what is a sandwich pick?

Question:I am referring to a draft pick. For instance Julio Gomez was a sandwich pick by the Atlanta Braves. What is the meaning?

Answers:

Do you know what songs Jose Reyes listens to before his at bats at home?

when teams lose free agents that they offer arbitration to, they are compensated with a draft pick. There are A free agents and lesser free agents...Like when the padres lost Ramon Hernandez to Baltimore, they received a sandwich pick, which is a high pick between the 1st and second round, kind of like how the NFL has compensatory picks, I know Mark Teahan was a sandwich pick

Why don't Baseball fan's want instant...?

A sandwich round, also known as a compensatory round, occurs after the first, but before the second round of the draft. For instance, if a team has the No. 5 pick in the first round but fails to sign the player, then the team receives a pick in the first sandwich round of the following year. The order of picks in a sandwich round is determined by inverse standings
