@BobbyMilone29 I’m a proponent of hard slotting. The bonus pools create more inequity and offer additional punishment to the teams trying to win. They also cannot set the order of an international draft to match the domestic one. Too much incentive to lose.
Another brilliant display from MLB and ownership. You know what our game needs? More barrier to entry! Let’s figure out how to shrink our talent pool and discourage athletes from picking baseball. But we save money, and that’s all that matters.
@VirginiaYankee1@BobbyMilone29 Obviously not a scout, but getting to watch Hull in the CWS has made an impression, as it has with Jackson. They both have that look about them.
@VirginiaYankee1@BobbyMilone29 This is what makes the combine helpful for fans who follow the draft. The HS guys can change significantly in a few months, and it's good to get a look at them before the draft.
@BobbyMilone29@VirginiaYankee1 I have Marchand at the top of my list right now and Thome behind him. With a lot of these guys, there are serious questions about them being up-the-middle players, and the ones who don't have that question have power or hit concerns.
