底下是Jim Callis針對自由球員分成Type A, B, C三級的分類標準及其效果的介紹，
以及他提供的名單。

The Elias Sports Bureau compiles rankings of all major leaguers by
position, based on their performance over the previous two seasons.
If teams offer arbitration to a free agent and lose him to another
club, they'll receive compensation if he's classified as a Type A 
(top 30 percent at his position), Type B (31-50 percent) or Type C
(51-60 percent) player.

For a Type A player, the compensation is the signing team's
first-round pick plus a supplemental first-rounder. For a Type B,
it's the signing team's first-round choice. For a Type C, it's a
supplemental second-rounder.

However, if the signing team picks in the upper half of the first
round, that choice is protected and it loses its second-round
selection instead. If a club signs multiple free agents within the
same category, its earlier pick goes to the team which lost the
higher-rated player. Also, Type C players who have been free agents
in the past don't yield any compensation.
