Keep thinking Uggla on him. More speed, less HR power....lots of swing and miss, defense that'll make you cringe.

'my buddy over here"

That's why he was a third round pick

Feel like you should probably just go to college over taking this...

Maybe there’s increased risk going to college now since you don’t know how the training and stuff will go with Covid.

Or, in some cases, if the team will still be around in a year or two.

or if the college itself will still be around in a year or two.

One of the casualties @ my son's school is sports. Its a small school and you are not going there to make it as a pro athlete, your there to crack NASA/SpaceX/etc. They said that they are reviewing honoring the sports scholarships.

sounds like a school my friend went to for engineering. he walked into the financial aid department and walked out with a partial scholarship, some short shorts and spot on the track and field team. apparently there were no more student jobs in the library or kitchen.

Phillies signed another UDFA, RHP Blake Brown, a senior from UNC-Asheville. BA had him as the #375 prospect overall. Live arm with swing and miss stuff but walks a ton of guys

Phillies with 5 of BA's top 20 undrafted signings! They face some uphill battles getting to the bigs. Most notably there being a bigs and not getting Covid from the Phillies/Florida.

Salons aren't even open until Friday in Philly but boy did Radcliff and Ragsdale take a haircut. Obviously better than 20k and an uncertain 2021 college season but sheesh.

Looks like a smart signing

If you're into rankings, Hayward was #346 on the BA500

Also had TJ surgery in December.

The teams had a lot more leverage than I thought they would. Like a lot more. Such a weird draft.

I think for Harvard players it's formally referred to as Thomas Johnathon surgery right?

Squire, where are you getting that number for Martin?

Martin Bonus Reference

Not sure how reliable it is but it seemed to be well connected.
