oldsox Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 7 hours ago, WestEddy said: No. It's the cheapest talent available. Eduardo Herrerra had a rough 1st year last season, and this season, he's OPSing .975, and will most probably graduate to the ACL next year. Frank Mieses is a 17-year-old CF OPSing .869. Are you sure, Eddy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 11 minutes ago, oldsox said: Are you sure, Eddy? Yes. The guys we're talking about were higher bonuses, but if they have a full scouting department working 4+ countries and Puerto Rico, they would be finding multiple guys for tens of thousands of dollars in bonuses that would advance.

The latest was Alajandro Cruz. I don't understand the economics here. Has any team just walked away from the International Market, at as far as financing a team in the DSL? Up until very recently the Orioles never did anything of significance in the INTL market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptatc Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Interesting study just published on the 2021 scouting event in the DSL. For the pitchers 93% had some rotator cuff pathology, 76% had Labrador pathology. 82% had UCL abnormalities. 70% had elbow osteophytes, 12% had non-union in the medial epiphyseal plate. 6 % of pitchers had complete tears of the UCL, 24% had partial tears. These kids are really pushing themselves just to get to these scouting events and are coming "pre-injured" to teams signing them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if this is the reason that pitching doesn't seem to come out of the DR at the volume that hitting seems to be. Very interesting either way. Is there a similar US college/High School study?

ChiSoxFanMike Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Anyone know if this is accurate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted September 10 Author Share Posted September 10 14 minutes ago, ChiSoxFanMike said: Anyone know if this is accurate? The 2030 class? As in the international market? If that is accurate this kid would be 11 or 12 years old right now. Seems kind of crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all we know, there's an international draft by 2030. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tnetennba Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 $6M for a kid who can’t sign officially until 2030? I find that hard to believe. Did Jerry croak and we just haven’t heard yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
