Welcome back for your annual visit, TL!

[Spanky99]

okay so, ba made their top 500 list exclusive to members, the little f***s. Anyone with a ba subscription want to send me the full list so i can format it for the draft table i make each year?

[P2F]

jfl19

 

His subscription is a mirage.

[Spanky99]

38 Tall boys so far... since last night, I should've slept, lol.

[jays4life19]

Damn impressive. If I drank 38 tall cans I'd probably die.

[Spanky99]

46 now... 38 was a joke, I'm out.

[Krylian]

What's the best philosophy here. Take the BPA or a high ceiling helium kid that's a bit more signable ($3m would do it), then use that extra $1.2m to maybe seduce one or two tougher signs later in the draft?

[Spanky99]

Have to get beers ordered.

[jays4life19]

Have to get beers ordered.

 

You should aim for 100.

[P2F]

I should've taken the day off work for the draft.

[Spanky99]

62 total, I said good day!

 

Edit: And a s*** load of weed!

[P2F]

Whoa.

 

[Spanky99]

Whoa.

 

 

lol... no man.

[jays4life19]

lol... no man.

 

How many times did you have to go pee? That's a lot of liquid.

[jays4life19]

31L of beer. wow!

[Krylian]

I think you guys are mistaking the draft thread as the draught thread.

[Spanky99]

How many times did you have to go pee? That's a lot of liquid.

 

A lot... geeze...

[Jimcanuck]

Relevant - 9 of the top 15 Fangraphs prospects are international signings.

 

Shouldn't the international signings be the higher focus.

lol... every team invests man?

[Jimcanuck]

lol... every team invests man?

 

you've had too many beers to comprehend the meaning of my msg

 

how many words, videos, reports etc on MLB draft eligible players compared to international sign candidates.... like 5x? 10x?

 

whereas most of the current top MLB stars and prospects are all international signings

[Spanky99]

you've had too many beers to comprehend the meaning of my msg

 

possibly, lol... but you're chucking money at 16 year olds.

[Spanky99]

Jim's a messiah he see's s***, and can help us.

[Jimcanuck]

possibly, lol... but you're chucking money at 16 year olds.

 

USA prep guys are at about the same level of development as those 16 yr old internationals

 

only the college guys are anywhere close to a finished product

Told ya...

[Jimcanuck]

coverage is out of balance is all i'm saying, spank

[King]

coverage is out of balance is all i'm saying, spank

 

I think your brain is out of balance.

[Spanky99]

I think your brain is out of balance.

 

lol... he don't get s***.

[Jimcanuck]

I think your brain is out of balance.

 

Another guy that makes a personal insult when they see a post they don't like.

[King]

Seriously, most of the international guys are in the Dominican where all the prospect writers are in the USA. The top IFAs get their coverage when they attend marquee events.

 

For obvious reasons, the draft gets more coverage than the IFA market.
