Good stuff - I'm impressed w the timeliness of his information and the reactions from the players. The MSM could learn a thing or two.

Assuming we can get Cecconi and Del Castillo to campus, seems like a good class on paper (although still seems a little light on offense potential). Hopefully Veliz can find his control and stay healthy. Reyes should come back.

Agree. Good luck to him. He pitched his guts out for us for two years at a high level.

Based on the '18 team's performance, I can see making that generalization. That said, I'd take Cabezas or Bartow back, and Romy was a Cape Cod All Star - just have to think there is untapped potential there with the bat. It'd be up to him and Gino (or new hitting coach?) to fix whatever went...

That makes sense if I understand it - so they lose that slot value from their pool if they don't sign a kid selected in those high rounds?

Even in the fourth or fifth round? What round would a senior have to be taken in, per the rules, to be assured a decent bonus then?

I know that is the conventional wisdom, but there are Sr college pitchers going in the middle rounds - they have to get somoething close to slot value, don't they?

He did touch 96 on the radar gun at the ACC tournament. Good luck to him, but I still hope he comes back. He needs to develop a better change-up and more movement on his fastball. He could get top 10 round money if he did that, senior or not. With the money MLB throws at free agents who are...

I believe the rule is "after three years of college at a four year school, unless you are 21 at the time of the draft".

Agree - let's hope nothing silly happens and the highly touted recruits sign for next to nothing after a late round selection. The new trend is clear - quality college players can get a decent bonus after three years of college.

And for whatever it's worth, MLB Tracker's write-up on Del Castillo characterized his commitment to us as "strong".

Let's hope it helps us this year and in coming recruiting classes. JD does a great job with what he is given, but until we can sign some of these HS arms who sit in the low to mid 90's and start for us for three years, like UF does year in and year out, I don't see us competing for titles...

If Reyes doesn't come back, OF is looking really thin next year. Looks like we'll have to roll the dice on some JC transfers again.
