Dizzy Sox Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 QUOTE (JDsDirtySox @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 11:00 PM) I can't believe it looks like Crow will go unsigned again. That guy just doesn't get it. Isn't he not subject to the deadline this evening for some reason? College seniors aren't...perhaps that applies to him? I'm not sure.

JDsDirtySox Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 so the only two first rounders unsigned with a couple minutes left are Strasburg and Crow (again). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

College seniors aren't...perhaps that applies to him? I'm not sure. They still have a week to sign him I believe. But this is really hurting the Royals cause they want to get him in their system (minors/fall league) as soon as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Crow can sign up until next year's draft because he played for an indy league team, indy league guys and college seniors are not subject to tonight's deadline.

Let's use the money we allocated for Morgado and others to go get some of those Cuban defectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I'd put the kid in AA. They have to operate under the assumption that his stuff alone puts him on that level. Plus, i wanna see Viciedo rock that b****. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prochisox Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 So does anyone have a list of everyone that has/hasnt signed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) Rangers didn't sign Matt Purke. Not a great start for the Nolan Ryan pitching recruitment era. Blue Jays failed to sign James Paxton. A guy this board really liked. Edited August 18, 2009 by Thunderbolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chapman isn’t an immediate option. 21 years old, with all sorts of control problems. He’d be minor bound until next spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They guy on MLBN, his last name was Mayo I believe, said he can sign until May and KC told him and his agent that they are going to focus on other picks first and then talk to him, so that has a long time to get done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the 4 guys we have right now and Hudson making a mockery of the minor leagues, I'd say the last thing KW is worried about is starting pitching.

The Red Sox about 1-2 months ago thought they had an endless supply of SPs, granted that involved some older pitchers as well, but that can go away quickly. If there is mutual interest and the Sox think it's a reasonable contract they should jump all over him Edited August 18, 2009 by SoxFan562004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Aug 17, 2009 -> 04:56 PM) Morgado is getting bad advice, he is also coming off TJ surgery and we were probably offering second round type money. He will not be drafted that high next year, no chance. I completely agree. I think his agent f***ed him over big-time. But he also screwed himself over.

caulfield12 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Aug 18, 2009 -> 11:44 AM) The Sox say that they don't mix FA money with minor league money. But KW said 2-3 times that Viciedo's contract was essentially, long-term replacing the sunk costs for Swisher's long-term deal. That's pretty close.
