Sabathia becomes a first ballot Hall of Famer. I’ve always liked Sabathia and its a great honor to cap his career. Funny how nobody ever accused him of being a PED guy. He was more likely to be accused of being an all-you-can-eat buffet violator, not a drug test violator. ...
There used to be no caps on bonus spending; after this draft, no more massive bonus spending to sign HS prep kids in lower rounds to 1st round money. And because of the new caps and the tracking of limits up to the 10th round, we now see teams often making “throw away” college s...

That’s interesting [Ron] said that because today with the new kids it’s like, you don’t have to listen to old stuff every day, but you should always respect who came before you. You don’t have to bump it, or know everything about it, but you should never say, “Fuck that ...
There’s also a couple of other prep kids in the mix for the top 10, but something tells me we’ll be taking a college player this time around and not a project. We don’t “need” Bodine or an outfielder necessarily, would love to get one of these two college arms. The top of...
but it’s interesting to see how they’re using this roster right now. The lion’s share of the position players (14 of the 18 guys) are also IFAs. I attribute this to the fact that we don’t draft a ton of prep kids, so basically all our 2023 draft picks are starting at Low...
So, even though the draft splits even 20/20 bats and arms its heavily tilted at the top and in the signability department towards arms. This should make for some serious carnage in the lower ends of our minor league ranks. The Auburn roster is half stocked with late-round college seniors...
I dunno. I go back and forth as a fan. Part of me says screw 2011, play the kids, see what they can do this year and regroup for 2012 when you can have a very good Strasburg-Zimmermann 1-2 punch to go along with general improvement across the rest of our younger guys. The othe...
