July 17, 20241 yr BA writeup on UDFA Bryce Eblin Quote Eblin is a 5-foot-11, 185-pound infielder who had modest performance through his first three years at Alabama before putting together a strong showing in the Cape Cod League in 2023. He hit .367/.429/.392 in 32 games, though as his line suggests he was mostly a singles hitter and tallied just three extra-base hits. Eblin carried over that production to the early parts of the 2024 season when he started the year hot and homered four times in his first 19 games (a career best) with a .377/.449/.652 slash line. He doesn’t have a ton of power but can provide defensive versatility across the infield.
July 17, 20241 yr Eblin was a dude in HS. He had serious draft interest but that was the fucked up covid year so he went to school. He didn't much better there but I'm still suprised he went undrafted.
July 17, 20241 yr Makarewicz is really good. He absolutely raked this year for NC State. ”A-Mak had one of the best offensive seasons in NC State history. He finished with the most Total Bases EVER in a single season, with the 4th most Home Runs & Doubles. He also earned multiple All-American honors, as well as 2nd Team All-ACC honors. Makarewicz, who transferred from ECU last offseason, hit .378, with 24 Home Runs, 25 Doubles, 84 RBI’s, 66 Runs, with an OPS of 1.191.“

July 20, 20241 yr I agree with James. There's a legit top 5 pitcher, 2 expensive HS, mild reaches on a couple college outfielders, then a whole lot of 5th year senior signs and college relievers. It's a top heavy class. Hard to see $15 mil unless Smith got like $9 mil.

My guess is $8.0M, $3.0M, & $2.0M for our first three picks, which would be ~$1.8M overslot in total. It’s very clear with our day 2 picks that we went well above the 5% $700k overage on day 1.
July 20, 20241 yr Author Smiths slot is $7.7 million. If we went over it is on the next 2 guys and not him.

I guess he's old since he's the all time leader in games played but still.
