They aren't something like big, or fast, or wild or something you can maybe work with. They are physically limited RHPs and relievers with mediocre stuff. If we are looking at relievers, give me the big kid throwing 95 who can't find the strike zone instead of a 5'9" guy throwing 92.

Oh come on, one guy’s highlight is striking someone out cause they leaned over the plate! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 18 minutes ago, Y2Jimmy0 said: No. Everything over $150K counts against the pool. So like last year, they paid Mathias Lacombe $450K. $300K counts against pool. If they made that selection in rounds 1-10, it would cost $450K against the pool. THis - that is why I always assumed you see more of those big reaches come now (where you might take 2 stabs knowing you maybe get 1). Probably more so this year vs. past years given it seems like across the board the high schoolers have a bit of unrealistic expectations (or at least relative to what the MLB teams are willing to do). Probably a lot to still figure out related to NIL / transfer windows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man was destined to be either a superstar closer or that guy that every fanbase falls in love with cause of his name and he bounces around to like 12 teams. C'est la vie.

GreenSox Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 (edited) 1 hour ago, Y2Jimmy0 said: I'm guessing that both 2nd rounders are overslot. Prep players are expensive. Probably, but that's just a curious approach considering they could have gotten equal/better talent (based on rankings) with those picks without having to go overslot. They haven't exactly demonstrated talent evaluation abilities above the norm. The cynical side of me says they just aren't going to spend their money; "You can trade for a comp pick, Chris, but I'm not paying for it."

Squirmin' for Yermin Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Welp.. That's a lot of blown picks today. I anticipate quite an active day tomorrow with at least 1 big surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
