For sure a weekend starter. Don't think he would unseat Gage for the Friday role unless he keeps his same stuff and minor tweaks solves all of his control problems. The scouting report is that he has a great breaking ball but pitches behind in the count too often to use it as effectively as it could be.
Would be big for us. Then let Rafe/Scinta/Torres battle it out for the Sunday spot. I actually like Chestnutt as our midweek guy. Got rocked a few times against good teams, but seemed pretty consistent against midweek competition. I’d prefer to not see him a ton out of the bullpen on weekends.
This tracker from 247 still shows Hernandez as an addition. It also lists Shin as signed with TB, so looks updated.
Thanks. But I think we need to sweat it out until Aug 1, because he still may sign, correct?
The deadline is today at 5 pm. I highly doubt a late round picks signing info will come out immediately, but I'm guessing by late Wednesday or sometime during the day Thursday if his signing information hasn't been updated by then I would feel pretty confident in him making it to campus.
I thought the deadline today was for top 10 rounds. I may be wrong.
Pretty sure it's 5:00 ET today for all players drafted, unless they've used up their college eligibility and then they can sign any time until a week before next year's draft.
The Reds appear to have spent their pool money plus the 5% already (any more pool allocations to Round 11 - 20 draft picks above the $150k, and they'd lose a 1st round pick next year). So, it looks like it's $150,000 max for Hernandez, otherwise, it seems he'll be a Cane if he can beat that next year.
Yes, for $499k, just under $501k slot value.
Just saw this, when I brought that info to the board, it was straight from his father.
Great news.
Also has only been pitching 2 years (didn’t pitch in HS) so I’d imagine there’s still more untapped potential.
I believe they’ve reinstituted a draft and follow policy for late rounders.
