Whichever scout recommended Fulmer should be put on notice, if not fired now. he does not have major league quality stuff.
I think it was a "draft by need" and not a "draft best available" type of pick

Carson Fulmer, we've got a ticket for you to Birmingham on Tuesday morning.
i wouldnt be opposed to him going to AA honestly

Reds won, Phillies (!!!) are now up on the Giants (Ty Kelly literally just hit a grand slam). Padres are up.
great news!
Perfect timing for us, we will have no big contracts on the books. No 20+ a year for the next 8 bs.
Makes you wonder how much someone like Harper will command now.
I like this, following the minors and draft has been fun so far. Of course I will switch my focus when these guys are supposed to be contributing, but I am loving this.
Teams are still new to analytics, read Big Data Baseball about the Pirates in 2014 and their switch over to shifting defense. Even with having overwhelming data the baseball dinosaurs still vehemotely oppose the idea.

I'm hoping he hits like his current road splits (.315/.373/.452) the rest of his career.
Fixed that for you

Everybody talks about shedding the salary and the money being an important factor here. Why is this so?
My guess is the Robert signing. Opens opportunities to add in a few years as well.
