July 15, 20241 yr I know it doesn't mean a whole lot, but according to MLB.com every player they have drafted was either right at rank (Smith) or well before they were ranked.

July 15, 20241 yr Strategically, why wouldn't you draft your money savers after drafting the high school guy you want?

July 15, 20241 yr Peyton Olejnik. Oh god. If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. If you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.
July 15, 20241 yr Why does one Peyton spell his name with an "e", and another with an "a". Do they mean different things?
July 15, 20241 yr Do we think we are gonna get the Minooka kid? Is that this year's overslot local prep named George?

Because of cap spaces for each slot are bigger earlier. This Sox pick has a slot value of 375k. Sign him for $10k that is $365k, left over they can use later. The Sox pick in the 10th round is for $185k, so the same senior signing for 10k only saves $175k. By making this pick they generate $200,000 extra dollars they can use later. Once you get past round 10 there are no rewards for coming in under the slot value, which is $125k, but they will penalize you for anything over that number.
July 15, 20241 yr Wow Bagwell to the Braves in the 6th. He was asking for a lot of money. I think he's a reliever but maybe they can help him develop a 3rd pitch and better command.

Afterwards, I walked to a pizza place with slot machines to call for an uber and charge my cell phone. The waitress laughed and said "we don't have ubers out here" and asked me where I was going and I said "downtown" and she responded "which downtown?" About two hours later, the restaurant was going to close and the waitress asked her dad to drive me to a Holiday Inn because nothing else was open. Just then, an uber showed up. They were nice people. I'm rooting for Nate George.
