Baseball also is the one sport where draft picks are going to require a few years in the minors before being ready. Thus, they’re not really going to care who’s currently at the position in the majors.

Poor Andrew Vaughn who got called up after barely playing in the minors? Players sign with good teams all the time where they’re blocked in college sports, as they know they will eventually get a shot while being marketable.

I don’t see what’s going to change in the next few weeks regarding international draft issue. Personally, I have no desire to get invested in a season of 60-100 games again.

Speaking of Eloy, I watched videos of all his homers in his career. He’s not fat by any means, but he sure put on a lot of weight the last few years. I’m sure the injury impacted his conditioning.
