@BrandonEFowler@EvanDrellich@MLB We need to stop letting agents manipulate the draft by using the threat of college to leverage teams to pass on top high-schoolers. High-schoolers should have to declare for the draft.
@ThaBeefDev@rationalyankee Looking. He's deliberately trying to bait the pitcher into coming set before he actually looks, which he accomplished on the first pitch. That is a pitcher violation. Pitchers just need to wait for him to look, and this problem goes away.
@ChrisCoop_ You can't draft the top talent because the system gives them the leverage to not sign. High schoolers should have to commit either to college or the draft and be financially locked into their draft slot with the club holding their rights for at least 2 years.
@sidseixeiroshow Expected. It would have played out here with the cap allowing for improvement in roster construction and him being in the middle of his prime.
@david_piazza_@gregbradyx Which is why they should have been aware that the Shanaplan timeline was going to be altered, but to a point where the core was still in their prime.
