I've seen the argument a few times mentioned regarding the draft that if the Brewers got comp picks for Greinke and Marcum they'd have to go on the cheap for "some" of the picks. This argument doesn't make sense to me, the Brewers would get a "budget" based on their total picks. So extra 1st rounders and comp picks would be figured into their budget. Granted they couldn't go after players with significant leverage, but this year a lot of players seemed to be more willing to sign near the slot figure than over.
