Troy	41483	1	999

Once all the tied teams have at least one player, the tiebreakers get more involved. Tiebreaker #1 is cap left. Six teams move on. Tiebreaker #2: Fewest players in the same category of player (in this case, a "position player"): California, Florida, Lake Michigan, and Denver got pitchers with their first players, so they move on. Tiebreaker #3 is fewest signed players and all have 1 player. Tiebreaker #4 is fewest players at the position (which is none for all 4), so with Tiebreaker #5, California gets Olt with the highest rank.

Four players were picked by 7 teams.

Mike Trout (Salary 4279)

Team	Cap Left	Total Players	Rank
Kid Rock,	43000	0	1

Cincinnati	42900	1	1
Florida	42900	1	1
Detroit	42900	1	3
California	42800	2	1
Ashland	41483	1	2

It's between Kid Rock and Motor City, and the #1 rank beats #2 - Kid Rock

Joey Votto (3502)

Team	Cap Left	Total Players	Rank
Motor City	43000	0	3
Cincinnati	42900	1	3
Denver	42900	1	4
Detroit	42900	1	14
Ashland	41483	1	4
Troy	41483	1	8
Kid Rock,	38721	1	3

Motor City then gets the next guy - based on cap space.

Addison Reed (999)

Team	Cap Left	Total Players	Rank
Detroit	42900	1	10
Denver	42900	1	21
Tennessee	42323	1	15
Ashland	41483	1	25
Troy	41483	1	999
Motor City	39498	1	16
Kid Rock,	38721	1	17

Detroit and Denver have identical cap values - but Denver already has a RP, so with tiebreaker 2, he goes to Detroit

Tyler Skaggs (107)

Team	Cap Left	Total Players	Rank
Windsor	42900	1	8
Lake Michigan	42900	1	12
Florida	42900	1	18
California	42800	2	15
Gratiot	42756	1	36
Motown	42421	1	24
Motor City	39498	1	25

Three teams have 42900 in cap space. Windsor and Lake Michigan already have starting pitchers. Florida has a relief pitcher, but not yet a player in the "starting pitcher" category, so he goes to Florida via Tiebreaker #2.
