He started really hot with Toledo with a .313/.436/.516 stat line for May but has cooled off quite a bit since then. June he had a .216/.397/.353 stat line so still walking at a good clip but not much power and for July he is .200/.273/.550 so honestly probably just a SSS thing but something to keep an eye on.

Tell me you don't understand the slot system without telling me.

I saw this today and was wondering do other teams beat writers also do this?

Stofel becomes the first Wright State player to begin his professional career with Detroit since the Tigers drafted former standout Busty Beam in the 20th round of the 1999 MLB Draft.

I was trying to find a comparable trade last year to compare for Lorenzen and I think the closest I could find was Quintana and Stratton to the Cards for Johan Oviedo (24 when traded) and Malcom Nunez (45 by MLB 40 by FG prospect). Based on that I would say that is comparable to us trading Cisnero or Shreve with Lorenzen.

Lee took 44,900 less than the slot. 6 (170): Bennett Lee, C, Wake Forest -- $297,500 (Pick value: $342,400) Known Total Savings so far: 476,550+641,700+44,900+2,500= 1,165,650 Over Slots: 250,000 Remaining 915,650+787,360 for possible overage without draft pick penalty

FCL W 3-2 Briceno 1/5 SB Campbell 2/4 2B RBI K SB Gil 0/3 BB K Perez 0/3 BB K Campbell is interesting to me, he has been all over the diamond (C,3B,1B) and he is another signing out of ANZ and 19 years old. I have no scouting report on him but he has been putting up good numbers in the FCL this year.

Looks like Sears took $2,500 less than the slot. 10 (290): Andrew Sears, LHP, Connecticut -- $167,800 (Pick value: $170,300)

Question is does he start in the FCL or Lakeland?

Eh shutouts count the same as a 8-7 L. Obviously having the offense show up would be ideal but Olson looked good.

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.
