Tellez crushed that pitch! ...is likley what I would have said if the game was on TV.

But pineapple on pizza is delicious!

lol. f*** that.

Ehhh. Salazar would give my team a nice boost but I can take solace in the fact I'll get to keep Adames if I lose. Losing out to Bumgarner to an offer I felt was weaker stung more.

P2F can we get a vague description of the top two or three offers for the Salazar sweepstakes?

I traded mine and no one said anything so I assume it's fine.

The Future: Overall, Adames has the total package that teams look for in top prospects, with impact tools on both sides of the ball and the personality to become a marketable franchise player. In 2017, Adames figures to spend the season at Triple-A Durham. He projects as the Rays’ shortstop of the future, with the ability to hit somewhere in the middle of the lineup.

Our division looks like it's going to be incredibly tough again in 2017.

So how much longer till I get Salazar?

Assuming I'm allowed to do this... My current pick to FS for his MILB 6th

What's my trade window? I just got OTC, but I have a offer i'll take if I can...

I don't really know the rules and since their not posted I can't check. I believe I'm full though so I can't make a pick here?

Looking to add one more SP that has a history of good health/durability. My top 4 pitchers. 1. Steven Mattz 2. Jameson Tallison 3. Garrett Richards 4. Lance Lynn. Rolling into the season with those as my top 4 guys is kinda scary given their injury history.

It's not his fault that teams were dumb and not giving him everyday AB's. He almost put up a 5 win season in 2014 in Less than 400 AB's. Zips Projects 129 wRC+, Steamers 113 wRC+. Above average D at 1st. He's probably a 3 Win player this year.

Yes.

Yes. Pearce is quite good.

To Boxy: Britton, Martes and Rosario To JFL19 Taillon and Sandoval

Windows don't freeze for this draft I believe.

I think i like my offer better still. To be fair though i'm crazy high on Adames.

I doubt it. I had a pretty strong offer so they must be pretty good.

Close! Two first round MILB picks Zach Britton Luke Weaver Willy Adames

Wow someone beat my offer? Kudos to you.

Sent ya a PM

I may be interested. What are you looking for?

Major League Baseball’s annual two-day international amateur showcase begins tomorrow in the Dominican Republic, where several of the top prospects eligible to sign when the 2017-18 signing period opens on July 2 will be in attendance. The showcase mostly features 15- and 16-year-old players from the Dominican Republic and Venezuela, the two predominant sources of international signings, though players from Colombia, Brazil, Nicaragua and Panama are also on the rosters. This upcoming signing period will be the first under the rules of the new Collective Bargaining Agreement, which include hard caps on each team’s bonus pool. There are 16 teams that will each have a pool of $4.75 million, while six teams get $5.25 million and eight clubs get $5.75 million. Top Players To Watch The top paid player in the 2017 class is expected to be Wander Franco, a switch-hitting Dominican shortstop with good bat control who is a nephew of Padres shortstop Erick Aybar. The Rays are the favorites to land Franco, whose price is expected to get close to $4 million. Behind Franco, Jelfrey Marte, a switch-hitter who stands out for his defense, could be the next highest paid player in the Dominican Republic, with Marte linked to the Twins. Marte’s bonus is expected to be around $3 million. Another switch-hitting shortstop, Ronny Mauricio, has been tied to the Mets, who are also the favorites to land speedy Dominican center fielder Adrian Hernandez for north of $1 million. The Mariners are the favorites to sign one of the top hitters in the class, Julio Rodriguez, a power-hitting corner outfielder from the Dominican Republic with a compact righthanded swing. The Brewers are tied to a pair of outfielders—switch-hitting Larry Ernesto out of the Dominican Republic and Carlos Rodriguez, a lefty from Venezuela—with expected seven-figure prices. The Indians are in the biggest bonus pool bracket at $5.75 million and are tied to a pair of shortstops, Luis Garcia from the Dominican Republic and 15-year-old Aaron Bracho from Venezuela, expected to get at least $1 million. Dominican shortstops Ynmanol Martinez (linked to the Marlins) and Miguel Hiraldo (linked to the Blue Jays) both look to be in line for bonuses of at least $1 million. A pair of switch-hitting Venezuelan shortstops, Alvaro Gonzalez (tied to the Tigers) and Keyber Rodriguez (tied to the Rangers) could also go for around $1 million each. Among the players without heavy ties to a team at this point are catcher Daniel Flores, who was one of the most high-profile prospects in Venezuela entering the year, speedy Dominican outfielder Alberto Rodriguez and lefthanded outfielder Juan Pie. Notable Absences Several high-profile Venezuelan players are absent from the event. Two shortstops tied to the Red Sox—Danny Diaz and Antony Flores—are not on the rosters. Neither are center fielder Everson Pereira (linked to Yankees) or shortstop Juan Querecuto (Mariners). And while two Brazilian players (outfielder Victor Coutinho and righthander Heitor Tokar) are on the rosters, the country’s top player, righthander Eric Pardinho, will not attend. Pardinho, who overmatched the Dominican Republic in the COPABE 16U tournament in Panama in July and even pitched for Brazil in the World Baseball Classic qualifier in September, has been tied to the Blue Jays. Outfielder Raimfer Salinas and catcher Antonio Cabello also did not make the trip from Venezuela.
