In fairness; Rocker refused to participate in the pre-draft MRI process. This is why the Mets get a comp pick despite pulling their offer from Rocker (you have to make an offer of a certain percentage of the slot to receive a comp pick unless an injury arises in physical and the player did not...

I cannot believe he turned down as much money as he did out of HS to go to college there. Then become a meh player who will get far less.
