Gladu to the Mets, Harris to the Rockies
Not thrilled about the Rockies for Nate. That altitude tends to make a slider not slide so much.Quote:

If he can come back and be a Top 5 round pick it may pay-off up front, if not he really doesn't have much to lose by exiting this year
Won't not want

No, the bonus money is only reported down to the end of the 10th round, and it gets pretty slim down there, many times just a couple of thousand. If a player has other options he may get more, sometimes quite a bit more, but, again, that is at the tail end of the 10th round.
How the heck to they scout all those players?
It would be interesting to have someone explain how that works. I looked at one team's page, and there are people listed there that have jobs with other teams.Quote:

I knew I should have looked it up before I popped off. But, other than rookie ball, the remaining venues don't look too bad. I was surprised Boise was only 2,700 feet. Asheville is 2,100 feet. Lancaster is 368 and Hartford 59.
He just needs to get out of rookie ball. :)
[QUOTE=Tech77;1650611]Randy Bell is a pitcher from our local school that went to Hinds juco out of high school(only had 2 juco offers). Then he went to South Alabama, He is in the same class with all of our Hinds former players(washams, Lunceford, Boggs). Rick McCarty offered Randy, but it was after South Alabama offered. He wanted to stay with his buddies at Tech, but he felt loyalty to USA coaches since they offered first. He was just drafted in the 10th round. $133,000 signing bonus. http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2..._randy_be.htmlQuote:

Brent Diaz is foregoing his senior year for MLB.
What I expected, but sure was hoping he would delay his MLB mediocrity (at best).Quote:
