Bob Sacamano

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 09:56 PM) Did you read that article posted above? Yes and it did nothing to assure me he's a slam dunk to sign.

I could see his heart being in water polo along with building his stock in baseball at college. I'm at 50/50 that he signs.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 09:16 PM) Can we PLEASE bring back Omar Vizquel to work with Davidson/Delmonico/Tim Anderson? Moncada and Burger as well. God that would be amazing.

I was away from my tv but heard them talking vaguely. Did Stone mention that the Jays have interest in Holland? Not sure how their LFs are doing but Holland and Melky perhaps?

Montes de Oca still there?

Where was he originally expected to go? First round?

Looks like Skoug was projected to go in the first round originally but he started off slow. Really turned his season around though. Great pick.

QUOTE (daggins @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 12:51 PM) Based on what has been said about this draft (lack of star talent, decent depth) its not a bad strategy. Agreed. And then hope for a team to ignore Q's first few month and give us a significant piece for 2 back in a deal.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 11:14 AM) Thanks. Please forgive me but these picks are pretty much rapid fire with no time in between right? 1 minute in between picks.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 07:41 AM) Agreed. The fact that both that and Spider-Man are Sony exclusives... I'm still shocked anyone buys an XBOX for a yearly Halo update. Basically all it's good for.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 11:04 AM) I don't think the Nationals will part with Robles or Fedde under pretty much any circumstances, Soto and/or Kieboom, Neuse, Luzardo, Marmolejos, etc. all could be in play if they are serious about getting any deal for impact relief help done. Sucks for them because their farm is far thinner than it was before the Eaton deal. The difference between the overpay of the Cubs and Indians when the Yankees dealt away their 2 prized relievers.

Robertson may end up being the cheapest available but I wouldn't expect significantly more than what was initially agreed upon.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 10:08 AM) Apparently neither of you two have negotiated much in your life. It's not like they have to negotiate with one team. They have/will have other options. Herrera will be available, Colome may be available, Hand is available, and anyone else who is available we don't know about along with anyone else who will be available. They can trade for the lower priced reliever(s) and still improve their BP. It's not Robertson or bust. They can move on to another team if they don't like the price on Robertson.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 09:59 AM) If you guys think other GMs aren't seeing this s*** and licking their chops, you are nuts. It is NOT a good look when your manager continues to beg the GM through the press to find him some bullpen help. I concede they can win this division even without a bullpen, but you're nuts if you think this isn't raising the price they will pay. And it isn't like they only need one arm...they need 3-4 arms. Rizzo has some work to do. Eh, probably be more guys available the longer they wait.

What time does it start?

I agree with DA. They'll make a move before it's too late but with the division they play in and the current lead they have, the Nats have time to wait a little longer before they start making moves. As long as they add BP guys before the deadline and post-season, that's all that really matters.

Currently 6th.

Days Gone looks sick af. Man I love Sony and their exclusives.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 07:21 AM) Man you guys are acting like Austin Beck was available and we passed on him for Burger. There was no easy answer at 11. I'm fine with the pick. The 5-6 main guys I wanted were all picked right before. Nothing you can do about that.

QUOTE (miracleon35th @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 05:41 AM) We have Davidson who looks like he can be here for several years so where does this guy fit in? Courtney Hawkins and now Burger.. Burger is never going to play third base in the majors at that weight especially with his lack of balance and mobility. He looked like his shoelaces were tied together on those ground balls. A wasted 1st round pick. Burger probably won't be ready for 2+ years. I have no problem with Davidson holding down the fort until them but not penciling him in as an important part of the future (although maybe he can be a bench corner bat and platoon with whoever is at 1B or DH).

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 06:30 PM) Passan says Wright to ATL. Is it McKay for TB?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 03:04 PM) You only choose to read what you want to read, DA. Be as judgemental of people you don't know as you'd like. In 10 years, when this poor girl goes and stabs her male teacher in high school, you can then rush in and judge her too, because people should be "responsible for their actions," and not receive any consideration of some "BS excuse." Are you really defending a child molester?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 02:58 PM) Child.......please. The poor guy had his way with a girl starting when she was 4 ending when he was caught when she was 6. We don't know, maybe something happened to OJ when he was 4 that caused him to be a POS. I prefer to hold people responsible for their actions and not search for some BS excuse. Again, his victim faces an uphill battle. That is who deserves the sympathy. She is only 11 years old right now. He's done. No team will touch him. They won't put the rest of their players through this. They won't put their fanbase through this. They won't subject themselves to all they would get for giving him a chance because he can throw a ball pretty well. There have been some real bad actors who have played professional baseball, but this offense may take the cake. Didn't someone in a thread say a Cubs official that was on one of the Score shows said they already removed him from their draft board? I would imagine most teams did this as well.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 02:34 PM) I don't think he meant to shut the door just move it out of this draft thread. Discuss all you want, in the appropriate thread. At least that's how I took his comments. Same.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 11:12 AM) As a NC State alum, I am hoping for Joe Dunand in the 5-10th rounds. He's played decent SS, has pretty solid power, and think he could slide to 3B. He's actually the nephew of A-Rod which many of you will hate. Actually would make me want him.
