    You understand that all of these bonuses are predetermined at the point of selection, right? Why people worry over this boggles my mind. If they were going to be over, they wouldn't have selected the players that they selected.

    Ahhh yes, peak-era JPR drafting: pass on Tulowitzki because we already had Adams and Hill, neither of which was a SS anyway LOL.

    What with all the extensive scouting work you did, right?
  5. metafour
    Off Triston McKenzie which h should be noted.

    No, Singer just isn't as good as people want to make him out to be. He is relatively polished but the fact of the matter is that its a very good chance that he's a #4 starter type, on top of potential reliever risk as well. Its a two-pitch mix right now and there is worry that his low arm slot will prevent him from developing a good changeup. His stuff overall kind of plateaued this season as well so its not like that two-pitch mix is a plus-plus fastball/slider combo either. Keith Law for instance has been very vocal about his belief that Dane Dunning, who went 29th out of Florida two years ago, is a better prospect than Singer.

    Most #1 signing (7 figure guys) start stateside, especially within our organization, so that part really isn't that impressive (even Yeltsin Gudino started stateside). Pardinho skipping the GCL altogether however is a pretty big indication of how they feel about him.

    Hiraldo was up in Dunedin for extended spring training just a few weeks ago, and apparently looking real good according to Jason Woodell who saw him. I have absolutely no idea why he was sent down to start the DSL season. When they bring a guy stateside, its because they're sending him to Rookie ball in the GCL or Bluefield or Vancouver. I don't think I've ever seen them bring a top signing stateside, and then sent him back down to go play in the DSL. I'd imagine he's back up as soon as the GCL season starts, but this is still odd.

    Guangorena isn't signing. He's there as a backup in case some freak occurrence happens with Kloffenstein.

    Check the post date on this. Come at me brahs.

    So for some reason the A's are actually paying OVER slot to sign Murray (~5 million), AND letting him play football this fall. Mind blown.

    Conine hit 3 HR's today in a double header to help Duke advance.
  13. metafour
    I knew it was going to be Conine!
  14. metafour
    Edwards is gone, Rocker is available but doubt we saved enough money to sign him unless we're going underslot elsewhere (I can't imagine that Groshans gets full slot, so there should be some room to go over).

    Obviously the Jays would have signed him for less, that doesn't mean that the kid will agree, especially when it wasn't an arm issue. Thats the whole point when a kid fails a medical and it pushes him to school: kid expects 'X' amount which is agreed on, now the team wants to give you significantly less. Singer hasn't been anywhere near number 1 for months. He's a two pitch guy who's stuff has kind of flatlined, and his delivery is controversial. It's simply not a very high upside profile. He's not going back to school, nor would it make any sense for him to do so when he could be pitching in the Majors sometime next season.

    Singer failed some sort of medical which killed the deal. It had nothing to do with him wanting to go to school. He has zero to gain by going back to Florida. He isn't an upside pitcher therefore he's not going any higher next season. Also, his best "tool" is actually the fact that he's incredibly close to being MLB ready, so why the f*** would be waste another season dicking around in college for some non existent chance of getting more money next year?
  17. metafour
    Uhh, he's likely dropped PAST us lol. His command has been terrible, walking something like 5 or more in 5 of his last 6 starts. Plus TJ surgery already. Throwing hard simply isn't enough at this point.

    12. Toronto Blue Jays: Grayson Rodriguez, RHP, Nacogdoches (Texas) HS As with the O's, the Jays were assumed to be on college pitching, but that seems to be out the window, at least according to the latest slander. Swaggerty's floor is probably here. They also could go with Kelenic, Connor Scott or Ryan Rolison, and they're getting linked to Noah Naylor, but that might just be because everyone assumes they're on the Canadian player. They're also one of the teams linked to Xavier Edwards, if he gets to their second pick.
  19. metafour
    Kiley brought up Swaggerty in his chat yesterday and noted that he was getting Trea Turner vibes in that people are overthinking putting too much thought into finding "red flags" for a guy with big tools and a track record of production. I'd be happy with Kelenic, but its not like he's an infallible prospect himself, and really: what does he do that Swaggery hasn't already done in college against much better competition? He's just a less proven version of Swaggerty, and its not like his upside is really any higher either.
  20. metafour
    Hiraldo, Melean, and Jimenez are all stateside as well. Albert Rodriguez may be as well but I'm not sure on that one.
  21. metafour
    Logan Warmoth's "lack of tools" is highly over-exaggerated. He was showing real offensive upside with a quick bat and major line-drive ability with a big spike in power in his draft year. He's been unable to hit for power for any sustained period of time this season, so obviously there is something wrong that will either be corrected, or it wont and he'll fail. s*** happens. It hasn't been very pretty for most of the other top college bats that went before him either (ie: Pavin Smith, Adam Haseley) either. People who saw him multiple times had really good things to say about him. I've said it before, but its obvious that there was a strong "white college shortstop" stigma that was thrown on him (which is being repeated here right now) that wasn't being reported by people actually scouting him. He wasn't a "no tools" player, just because a guy doesn't have 40 HR power or Billy Hamilton's legs it doesn't mean that he's a "brings his lunch-pail and hardhat to work every day" white boy either. Good looking players flop all the time, it happens in this sport.

    Callis' mock from today: https://www.mlb.com/news/mock-draft-college-players-get-picked-early/c-278228058?tid=151437456

    The highlight of that walkoff is the pitcher emphatically pointing up as if to signal that it was a pop-up....only for the ball to go ~430 feet.

    New mock up at BA...where the plug at?
  25. metafour
    He'll go down as the idiot that no one remembers because he forgot to use his brain and ended up locking himself up on one of the worst teams in baseball for the entirety of his career; what a genius. He may not care about Canada or Canadian baseball, but he sure seems to embody sack-less Canadian pacifism with his seemingly complete lack of drive for actually competing. Name any other superstar player in any sport who seemingly spent 10+ years being content playing for a cellar dweller, honestly. Votto comes off like a complete beta.
