Yeah the bottom of the zone has been getting calls. That last one to Baddoo was egregious.

Great article on Jatnk Diaz. Gonna be rooting for him. https://www.freep.com/story/sports/columnists/jeff-seidel/2023/07/16/detroit-tigers-draft-pick-jatnk-diaz-self-taught-pitcher-prospect-surprise/70414130007/

MLB Pipeline disagrees. 2 (45): Max Anderson, 2B, Nebraska -- (Pick value: $1,906,200) Anderson has signed for an undisclosed bonus, believed to be under slot. “I was just looking for a team to give me a shot, really,” he said on a call with reporters. “I mean, money wasn’t really a question for me, in all honesty. I’m a baseball player; I’ve got an advisor to worry about the money side.”

Jobe with 4IP 3K 3ER and Gold with 3/4 BB and 4 SB.

Kudos to whomever got this shot.

Ah yes I remember that as well, probably used that incident to push him out as well.

https://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tigers/2019/08/24/houston-astros-justin-verlander-anthony-fenech-detroit-free-press/2099291001/ I could be wrong but I'm guessing this is part of it.

Whatever happened to Fenech? I know he got black balled from the org a bit but I haven't seen anything from him anywhere since then.

Agreed, whatever they get Anderson at will really decide some things. Looking at things though, we know Clark got appx. 700K less than slot, Hamm 42K, and the JUCO catcher got 250K of that. So going down the list say Anderson took 1M (bank 900K), Lee takes 200K(bank 145K), Minton and Sears take 100K each ( bank 150K) that gives you appx 1.6 mil to throw around. You may be able to get Minton for less because is he an SR signing. Will be an interesting 11 days.

I highly doubt they sign them all (they pretty much came out and said that was being overly optimistic.) If they sign 18+ of the 21 drafted I will be happy.

Kind of. It is usually used to help the player work on something at an alternative site if I recall correctly. Interesting it happened after the ASB.

Exactly, I honestly hope Jake does well but he won't be here when we are actually in contention.

Mid-Season Baseball Prospectus Top 50 Prospect Keith #13 and Clark #19 Langford #5 😅

Also just a reminder they only have until 7/25 to sign their draftees.

Honestly, 4 days with limited/no baseball during the summer is too long.

I'm just surprised he is followed by MLB Pipeline.

The tweet Edman is referencing.

Also here is a weird little thing with the new CBA.
