Camps

Everyone knows that it was the Mexican AAA league and not a Mexican league that is equivalent to MLB's AAA, right? Because that's a pretty huge difference that you might not get from just reading this thread without that prior knowledge.

I did... Selling out already?

The blank screen thing happened to me as well, but when I clicked back in, it didn't make me wait in line again. That sucks.

Comes up eventually, I was able to purchase. Looks like last game of the year is sold out? Wasn't listed as an option for me.

Says they're being delivered on a card? I bought a 6 pack but if I could sell a pair or two to cover costs, that would be nice.

Can these be transferred/resold. I.e. Will they all get snapped up by scalpers?

@SNETCampbell 2h2 hours ago It's been made clear to me that Jose Bautista sincerely hopes to stay beyond 2016. Loves city, loves team, multiple business interests. ----- He should age well, given his approach at the plate. Even if the power fades, I could see him being a decent #2 hitter, getting on base for Donaldson/Tulo in the 3/4 spots down the road.

Bat Tulo leadoff. Just bludgeon teams to death from the start.

?? Guerrero Academy ‏@mhallbaseball 3m3 minutes ago Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is not putting ink on paper today

Hoffman for slot, per Heyman @JonHeymanCBS now #jays sign rhp jeff hoffman for slot $. 1st rounder

Hoffman/Pentecost both signed.

If it's Lind to the DL, lots of play for Francisco.

From Klawchat Joe (Toronto) Are the questions about Pentecost's catching ability legit concerns? Klaw (1:22 PM) There are no such questions.

Hard to argue with a big projectable high school lefty who thows in the low 90s.

http://jaysprospects.com/2014/06/06/max-pentecost-blue-jays/ Here’s additional information from first-hand sources on Max Pentecost: Baseball America: “Pentecost’s athleticism stood out then and still does after catching for most of the last three seasons. Scouts consider him an above-average runner, fairly exceptional for a catcher, and his 6-foot-1, 190-pound body could use more strength to hold up under the rigors of catching 100-plus games. The body and his speed earn him Jason Kendall comparisons. He’s an average receiver with average arm strength with inconsistent throwing mechanics and profiles as an offensive catcher. [...] Scouts like his line-drive swing, which has improved over the course of his college career. Most scouts see him as a below-average power producer but some see enough feel for hitting for Pentecost to reach 12-15 homers eventually.” MLB.com: “Taking Max had nothing to do with any of those trades or getting rid of any of those players,” Blue Jays director of amateur scouting Brian Parker said. “When you pick nine and 11, you just have to line up your board and take the best player, and that’s what we did. We like Max. We scouted him pretty hard from last summer in the Cape and throughout this spring. “This is a guy we have above-average catching grades on,” Blue Jays director of amateur scouting Brian Parker said. “We think this guy can be an asset behind the plate for us. We’ve done some research, we talked to some of his teammates from the Cape, some of the guys he’s played with in the past, and they all rave about him.” ESPN: “Offensively, Pentecost has a line-drive swing that stays through the zone with good bat speed and transfers his weight well to generate average power, mostly to the pull side. He’s shown an ability to work counts and a willingness to hit the ball the other way, so high averages and on-base percentages are not out of the question. His swing is more geared towards contact; but 15-18 homer seasons are not out of the question. Where Pentecost has improved the most since he was a prep, however, is behind the plate. He’s an above-average athlete who runs well for the position, and has shown an ability to block pitches in the dirt. His overall arm strength is only average, but he uses his athleticism and quick release to get rid of the ball quickly and he should do a decent job of keeping base-runners from running. There isn’t one skill that jumps out when you watch Pentecost, and if you look at the 20-80 grades you might think he looks very mundane; but those can be a bit misleading. An everyday catcher who can get on base and produce average power totals and won’t kill you with the glove is something that every club covets and it’s why Pentecost has a chance to go very early come draft day. One concern is that Pentecost has faced less-than-stellar competition at Kennesaw State, but the tools translate very well and there’s a great chance he’s a first-round pick this year.”
