    Same here. I thought I saw that he was asking for $1.2-$1.5 or something like that.
  2. Hrubes20
    He has less fastball than all of them, and doesn't even flash a plus secondary like each of those 3 you listed. Those are the big reasons why he was knocked around all year at the college level. It's not always a great thing to throw strikes when your stuff is as mediocre as Richan's.

    Duncan Robinson has been really, really good the past month or so.

    Phew. Glad it wasn't anything. No need to add ammo for MLB's push towards an international draft.

    I wonder if it's one of those extreme situations where a guy like Hoerner gets a 4-5 game stint in the AZL and then goes directly to South Bend. For a point of comparison: Bryant: 2 AZL games, 18 at Boise, then jumped to Daytona for 16 games Schwarber: 5 at Boise, 23 at Kane County, 44 at Daytona Happ: 29 at Eugene, 38 at South Bend Given Hoerner's profile(advanced bat but lesser ceiling) I wouldn't be surprised to see him spend 10-15 games in Eugene, and if he's hitting .350 like we might expect then get bumped to South Bend for the rest of the year. That Happ path does seems semi-realistic.

    Apparently he broke the Welington Castillo PED story and has connections. Well then

    Neither Badler nor Sanchez have tweeted about it yet. I would hold off on putting too much stock in a Dominican article until someone corroborates.

    That Richan pick is my least favorite one. I know the underslot was necessarily, but just yuck. Not thrilled with the draft overall, but definitely interested in following how these "cognitive skill darlings" (CSDs for short, that's trademarked) are going to fare. It's clear as day that the Cubs selected their guys and didn't give a crap about where others valued them, or that they had higher bonus demands than the rest of baseball thought they were worth. Here's hoping they are onto something. Worst case scenario, is that we have an influx of new bats to follow in the minor leagues every day. That in itself makes me happy.

    Gonna be tough to find all the ABs that will be necessarily after all the college bats sign. I do like that Velazquez is going to Eugene though. Just not quite ready for A ball yet.
  11. Hrubes20
    Same here. I know he's old. I know he strikes out too much for college. But I just kind of dig this pick for some reason.
  12. Hrubes20
    Damn. A's picked Schwartz. They probably aren't as cheap as your traditional senior signs but they would be good picks. Well, Montes de Oca still would be - I can imagine him moving quickly as a reliever. Yeah, I could see either playing Indy ball for a year if they only get offered $5K. But the Cubs don't need to underslot that much, or at least they shouldn't at this point.
  13. Hrubes20
    Damn. A's picked Schwartz.
  14. Hrubes20
    I hope the Cubs pick up J.J. Schwartz or Bryce Montes De Oca as one of their senior signs.
  15. Hrubes20
    I actually like that pick a lot right there.
  16. Hrubes20
    I know I should expect a run of senior signs about now, but I would really appreciate a fun pick in the 7th like Kerry Wright.
  17. Hrubes20
    As with the first two prepsters taken, Franklin apparently missed a good chunk of the year (most?) with an injury (broken foot). Stuff is decidedly "meh" but he's at least got a nice frame.
  18. Hrubes20
    Both Cease and Estrada were 6th-round picks. Maybe this will be the round? D.J. Wilson was 4th round, he's the only other million-dollar superslot I can recall. (Well, obviously Sands and Steele, too...) The 7-figure bonus overslots under this regime were Underwood in the 2nd round in 2012; Sands (4th), Steele (5th) and Cease (6th) in 2014; Hudson (3rd) and Wilson (4th) in 2015; and Estrada (6th) in 2017. Hannemann got seven figures as well as a 3rd rounder. 2013 I think?
  19. Hrubes20
    Who is gonna be the “sexy” prep pick in the 5th this year?
  20. Hrubes20
    Not ranked in the MLB.com top 200: He reminds me of Donnie Dewees. Here's hoping he's better.
  21. Hrubes20
    Not shocked that the Cubs took him, given his Cape Cod pedigree. A little shocked he was taken this high though. Normally you would say "underslot" but after Richan got slot money, I have no idea.
  22. Hrubes20
    There was zero criticism of the Mookie Betts pick because 1. It was a 5th round pick, and 2. It came before draft spending limits.
  23. Hrubes20
    Sigh
  24. Hrubes20
    I read the Roederer blurb to mean he’s looking for 7 figures. That would be rough.
  25. Hrubes20
    I follow the draft and Im not going to pretend I knew who Roederer was before that pick. Not only was he a big reach there, but they also have to overslot him to the point that they punt the 2nd comp pick? At least they weren’t all pitchers?
