dasox24 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ May 28, 2005 -> 08:27 PM) Im pretty sure that he tried to cheat the system by going to school and signing with the O's and because of that instead he didnt get to go to school or sign? Yeah, from what I remember, he thought he could go back to school and still negotiate as long as he didn't play any baseball. However, he re-enlisted in school, which meant he couldn't negotiate with the O's anymore, and for some reason he also lost his eligibility. Although, I'm not sure why he would have lost his eligibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted May 29, 2005 Share Posted May 29, 2005 (edited) Since everyone is giving their opinion on who they'd like the sox to draft I really want Carillo now. He seems like he has a supurb head on his shoulders and I love the fact that through his collegiate career he's had excellent control. I'm really hoping this is the guy the sox brass decides to draft, jmo. I know most scouts don't think he has a super high ceiling but most guys who don't have dynamite stuff probably won't have real high ceilings according to scouts. However if you have the mental makeup and control then you have just as good a chance to be a stud as a stuff pitcher.

Randar68 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 (edited) QUOTE(farmteam @ May 29, 2005 -> 11:16 AM) Townsend lost his eligibility because he rescinded it himself. He gave up his eligibility because he wanted to finish school whether or not he signed and gave up his eligibility in order to try to retain his ability to sign with an MLB club despite attending classes. IMO, it was one of the most asinine rulings by MLB in a long, long time. Kid is devoted to finishing his degree (IIRC he was a semester away, not a full year) and gave up his college eligibility to try to keep negotiations with the O's going. His demands were not astronomical, the O's didn't drop the ball as much as they got caught in a wierd situation. Sure, they could have ponied up earlier, but a college pitcher with a long, full season doesn't need to sign quickly and throw another 100 innings in the minors...
