'23 MLB Draft Discussion

[Pitcher in the Rye]

We know, gasp stealing signs only the Astros did that.

Every team steals signs. Part of the game. Only the Astros used high-tech spy cameras and audio feeds. Funny how their offense suffered one of the greatest year-to-year declines in baseball history after they got busted. Tainted championship. Houston Asterisks.

why would all those dudes lose out on over $150k??? are they given heavier yearly contracts?

Because they are seniors. Their options are: take the $20K and a roster spot, try to sign as a free agent for even less, or go get a job. And no, they are not given bigger contracts.

I have to stand up for Chas McCormick. What he did was dumb the other night but he is a Class A person. Had a momentary brain fart and plays for the Astros so it made it worse. Awesome kid, awesome family, college coach would never go for that. Just made a mistake. Hopefully it doesn’t haunt him.

I’ll go with door number 1, Monty.

I think I could crack the roster as a below average BP pitcher rn

I got one year of eligibility left if they want a lefty that throws 70% change ups

 

[Pitcher in the Rye]

Santana signs under slot. Levenson signs for slot.

 

[Pitcher in the Rye]

Heard Yoyo signed for 2.2, little bit above slot. Wooyeul signed with Tampa.

Any word on Carlos Rey or the MDC pitcher?

Incredible isnt it? His cousin is my barber. The whole city is hyped over this kid. HE HITS ******* BOMBS. We had so many D1 arms though he didnt pitch at all in HS. Kid is a stud. So awesome. Thanks for posting.

Yo-yo signs for $2.6M.

Hearing anything on Torres? Not sure if he’s coming back but has eligibility remaining.

He's coming back for his masters. I assume he's playing another year (he has 2 left iirc)

Edit: Signed with Houston

Should get a look as Closer imo

Herick Hernandez? Not sure if it's public yet but I heard he will be attending UM.

Huge. Low-mid 90s lefty.

If he can polish up his control a little bit he's an absolute stud.

 

[HurricanePhilly]

He didn’t even pitch in High school so he just hit and played OF.

So 2 years and already showing big time stuff at the highest level of Juco is impressive.

Yea I was told he can hit 96 on the gun

How do you see Hernandez fitting into our rotation? Saturday starter?
