The rule 5 money flip (allowed this signing) and the patient offseason (if he ends up buying some wins!) make me wonder if AA is done being dumb. I guess we'll find out kind of soon.

The Yankees will spend about 10 million in the next 2 July. Many prospects in RD want to be Yankees.

 

Why would a kid want to sign with the Yankees. That only guarantees they will play anywhere but New York.

Looks like you might need to go to a school for kids who can't read good so you can zip through these threads a little faster next time.

Lol

Why would the Yankees be paying more. I can understand a kid wanting some cash but this sounded more like a team preference. It used to be that Toronto was a favourite place but then Gillick ran the show, Epy Guerrero was THE scout and Beeston was respected by everyone.

I like this a lot. Alex drafted an org guy in rule 5, traded him immediately for slot money which we used to sign a 16 year old intriguing prospect.

 

Now that's what I'm talking about

How so you touch 95 at 16??!?

 

Better question: How does a 6'2" 16 year old that sits low 90s, touching 95, only get 300k?

This is what I was wondering. Injury issues a la Hollon?

Anthopoulos undoubtedly has his shortcomings but stockpiling young, high-upside international talent is certainly not one of them. Five years from now, the handful of these kids that progress are going to be a lot of fun to watch.

 

Edit: On the other hand, until that day comes, watching King fap himself to death over them is going to be excruciating lol

Have you seen how little some DR kids received, that are beasts now?

 

Sure he could be good but why didn't someone snap him up before now?

Pretty sure I could only touch 69 at 16. 75 now lol.

 

We still talking about baseball? :P

 

The better pitchers who were on my school team around my age are at 75ish at most.
