College freshman aren't draft eligible. Only some sophomores are. Depends on birthdate/age.

BA's scouting report suggests fastballs aren't an issue and won't be once he acclimates. It's the spin and the offspeed stuff that is the bigger concern.

I've been thinking about this too. Do you just hold onto him at this point?

Second time's the charm right?

Now do Tucker.

Haha. Sure. @Chicago White Sox willed this one into existence. There are some red flags, but no reason not to take a shot at this amount.

I would love this. I will be even further elated if the White Sox get a competitive balance pick in a Pirates/Robert trade.

They will be interested in the best player available. That's currently Roch Cholowsky a SS at UCLA. He's one of the most exciting position players we've seen in recent years.

The competitive balance pick is huge as well. Extra bonus pool space and pick number 33 is massive for a team like the Rays. Sheesh.

How about Grant Taylor?

What a haul.

I would pay good money to read a Rick Hahn book with detailed accounts of what went on behind the scenes with Kenny and Jerry.
