    Mike piazza had was drafted late and had 2 pedestrian years before one breakout year and hall of fame career. Wasn't too 100 until after MLB debut

    sounds like something theriot would have done

    He has a team option after this year right? Not that they will pick it up or anything even if he turns into an ace down the stretch and wins the world series. Never say never. If the dude magically goes all ace down the stretch and wins the world series with a bigass effort in the playoffs they will at least consider paying him $20m to pitch next year. Not that there's any real chance of that happening.

    Does not seem to be a problem now

    Big Willy was pretty surprising. He wasn't considered a big prospect until 2016, and then had a 1000 OPS in his first 50 PA.

    I was going to mention that. It would be problematic for pitchers and how some teams use them. Absolutely an issue for relievers on playoff teams. It would be a problem, but teams wouldn't do this "loan" system or whatever if they were worried about that. They'd probably do a straight-up trade if they were worried about some "Dusty Bakering" of their young arms. I'm not saying this loan system is problem-free or likely to happen in MLB, but it has some advantages over the current system. Yes, in a sport like soccer, with a half dozen countries having their own elite leagues and 100s of teams participating in the process of loaning out a player to bigger clubs, or vice versa. MLB does not have an equivalent league anywhere in the world. The entire point of MLB is to try and make the playoffs and win a world series. We don't need a system that further rewards crap teams giving away their best players for money.

    No, it's dumb. Especially with pitchers. You'd have managers Dusty Bakering their way through everybody else's young arms. Soccer also has a situation where players get loaned out to entirely different leagues in different countries and all that really matters is whether or not a guy gets playing time. There is not "get your young guy playing time" equivalent benefit in baseball.

    Rumor has it, Smith will get done by Saturday. That's an odd time frame for a rookie contract signing rumor.

    Not anytime soon. 30 of 32 teams haven't even reported to camp yet. He still has plenty of time to work his way into shape and into the starting lineup if necessary. Probably not going to happen until Josh Allen (pick before Smith) signs. FWIW, Smith has the same agent as Joey Bosa who was a long holdout a couple years ago with the Chargers. If he was a QB, I'd have more concern. Since he's a LB, I give it a week before I worry.
