Tigers could go 50-0...have no one else play and they would still be picking 24th...how great is that

Instead of taking a humanitarian stance on this I will try and take a PR/need to get re-elected stance. 10 million Americans under the age of 65 (not doing math anymore but going to guess 3%) have a compromised immune system. Cases spike again but we all know that the government's want the economy to return. Lawyers representing those 3% (now swelled to 4% as doctors are as shady as cops and will sign anything) head to the gov't and say our clients are at risk still, you need to extend benefits. Elected officials say well we can't send them to work and die as that will be a re-election nightmare. So anyone with a compromised immune system now gets some form of compensation for 1 more year. No one in Alberta has a compromised immune system (because they are too tough to see a doctor) so they form a campaign against the gov't. You have 40% of the voters upset that you reopened the economy and 40% pissed that you are giving those weak ass immune systems welfare. Then the senior vote which you used to rock...well they are dead. But we should put allow CD who is as strong as an ox and eats viruses for breakfast to make his own decisions on whether he gets to see a baseball game. Also Super Usher Tercet now has to clean up Spanky's drunken vomit which while alcohol has killed every virus in his body, its still gross. This is a 100% satirical and unrealistic viewpoint to outline that decisions to reopen things are not so easy. Putting fans in seats for sports is something I have a lot of passion for,but it just isn't worth it right now...even if it turns out that it has zero effect on end outcome of the virus and economic recovery. Now I shall ban myself for doing this here.

Good value for Ray although I am not a fan of his skill set

I had a bad non scholarship college experience (leaving in my first year) and I still wouldn't give that up for $20k even in hindsight. L54, if you had a time machine do you have an amount that you would accept to forgo your college?

I would love to know what s*** the scouts are feeding them. No summer league...too many players on college teams, you won't get looks. With no pro ball you will be watched directly by big league evaluators at the training facility.

I think this gets said every draft.

I was just coming here to post that dunk. Does show how thin he is

If Frasso is 200 lbs than Tercet is 150

Situation wise has never mattered to Boras it is principal and value. Paxton it was over $200k. With that said this is positive as it probably means they have his number...even it means they go into the tax penalty. Or even better scenario is that they guarantee him a call up and we as fans win as well

How is he is not the most loved man in baseball?

Anyone else having issues with the board? Might just be mods but every time i try to edit a post it deletes it. Anyway i was responding to Brownie about how he hates this stuff. I love it! Blue Rocky and I have been chatting about things you can do to make sure Martin is a Jay...guaranteed 2021 call up has huge value. The mentioned Caissie signing makes sense (although as we found out with Paxton and Brown being Canadian does not mean auto value signing).

College seniors are allowed to go back for a 5th year so not as many will be willing to do the 20K thing. You need a family member of a front office member who was registered for the draft

Rendon was a Boras client in a similar situation prior to slot values. He signed on the last day. We will have to sweat this out for quite a while. I think I would save a good amount of cushion

Probably need to save about $1M somewhere.

Never doubt Chaim

It is 100% true, 75 % of the SEC pitchers will never sniff minor league ball. If you want better comps look at stats vs Friday starters (but then you are dealing with SSS) I mean if SEC stats translated to A ball Kjerstead will be the best prospect in baseball soon.

Somewhere between rookie ball and high school

And a Rhys Hopkins floor

At least they didn't put a limit on the number of people in the house like the NFL draft did...and then people popped on to cameras all over

Three biggest negatives about Meyer 3. He is from Minnesota which means he will be asked about the civil unrest in his home state tonight 2. He is a big hockey fan and won't immediately shut down hockey questions from our f***ed up media 1. He is a f***ing ginger Outside of those three things I am good with it

I truly believe that the issues in getting this signed has just as much to do with December 1, 2021 as it does with potential losses this season. They were supposedly so many PA asks for 2021 and owners likely want some assurance that the PA will back off. Pure speculation of course.

Smaller percentage of their revenue comes from gate (under 15%) and they have watched the Bundesliga who have recovered half their gate through additional sponsorship. I was on a call with someone in marketing from Pegula sports ( Buffalo Bills). They have thought about selling seats in camera view to photos of season ticket holders. Those crafty f***ers are going to get the fans to pay for their images to sit in the crowd. MLB is too stupid to be thinking about revenue recovery methods. Sorry if this was already discussed once a week is my max for this forum now.

I didn't realize that #5 has been the pick of death over the past 10 years. 2019 Riley Greene (The guy that is going to break the trend leading into this years pick) 2018 Jonathan India (my top 100 bust pick, but still looking legit) 2017 Kyle Wright (on his way to Busto) 2016 Corey Ray (passed Busto last year) 2015 Kyle Tucker (Projected to be a half win player this year) 2014 Nick Gordon (utility guy at best) 2013 Clint Frazier (429 PA's to the tune of negative WAR) 2012 Kyle Zimmer (a perfect KBO candidate) 2011 Bubba Starling (should join Zimmer) 2010 Drew Pomeranz (Not a terrible career, but I still think I'm disappointed if this pick develops into him...based on 2016 and 2017 Pom, I probably shouldn't be) 2009 Matt Hobgood (retired 5 years ago)
