    Orelvis Martinez 3 for 5 with a HR and a 3B today. Boy is looking good early.

    So the legitimacy of his entire extension rests on one year's worth of performance, in a complete throwaway season wherein we will likely finish with a Top 5 draft pick (ie: it really makes no difference whether he provides -1 WAR or 5 WAR LOL). That is an interesting jump to conclusions you are making. To answer your question, it would still be a smart extension. His deal is front-loaded which means that he gets cheaper as we get closer to actually being in a position (competing) wherein what he makes has actual implications on the team's position. His salary in 2019 has literally no implication on the team's position as they are already in a reduced-payroll scenario.

    Right, because Cashman has this nonexistent ability wherein he is ALWAYS right (like 100% of the time) on the future outcome of the players he trades away LOL? This is such a dumb narrative.

    Pardinho would have been in Lansing but had an injury. That is why he is in extended.

    You could tell that the bonus wasn't going to be as extreme as most probably thought by how the rest of the draft went.

    It looks like they signed two 17-year old pitchers from the Netherlands today.

    He is in Low A.

    The Top 5 from BA's early 2020 mock:

    Nate LaRue already confirmed he's going to Auburn. The kid in the 11th round - Nick Neal - is super interesting. A HS pick taken in the 11th round is typically promising news as the team has a full night to iron out their budget/make calls to targets to get a deal in place. This kid is absolutely massive with plus-plus power upside. He is also very young for the class.

    Are you wearing your Che Guevara shirt right now? You clearly don't understand this process at all. The players who sign for virtually nothing are 95% of the time guys who had zero hopes of even playing pro ball in the low minors. They accept the money and opportunity to play pro baseball for a bit because prior to receiving the call they were likely contemplating what real-world job they were going to go and work. Literally no one is putting a gun to any of these players' heads and forcing them to sign for nothing. If they were worth more, some other team would gladly pay them that.

    No problem sonny. BRB Microsoft are cheap *******s because they don't pay the janitor a 100K salary even though they have the means to do so.

    You must be a business virtuoso. Why would you pay someone more than they are worth? Are you claiming that you are cheap if you don't give some scrub drafted in the 37th round the full $125K? Players generally get paid what they are deemed to be worth, regardless of where they are drafted. A guy who only signs for $10K did so for a reason.

    Being suspended probably helped him LOL. They likely spent that whole time working on his swing.
  18. metafour
    Why? We haven't done that in years. Just because that one kid has a Vanderbilt commitment, doesn't mean that he's asking for an absurd amount.
  19. metafour
    He played with the Canadian National team. Scouts have seen him play defense.
  20. metafour
    The regular amount lol.

    Apart from both of them being tall, I don't see the comparison at all. Manoah isn't a sinkerballer, his fastball actually misses bats...and his slider is an actual wipeout pitch (which again, Zeuch does not possess). One guy is a pitch-to-contact type, the other is just a straight power arm. The K-rates reflect on this.

    This looks "borderline obese" to you LOL?
  23. metafour
    LMFAO WTF was that?

    Mock drafts give you an idea of who the team is actually scouting - as the legitimate writers have enough access to know what teams have been seen at what players' games. Even in last year's "surprise" scenario we picked a player who literally got linked to us beforehand. In the case of the Pearson pick, it is extremely impressive to correctly "link" a player to a team that late in the first round. How often does a team actually pick a player that actually comes out of completely left field? Not often. The Cubs drafting that one random pitcher (Hayden Simpson?) is one example.

    So like every other one of his seasons in the majors?
