Gose worked out pretty well around ~500K. Collier looking less good but he still has a chance, and we'll see with Quinn. Hudson has been disappointing though, and there's obviously Hewitt

it's a shame Hewitt can't put the ball in play more. He hits it really hard.

I just think our success percent per dollar on the pitching side is better. Quinn is a little different in that he is a shortstop. There is less pressure on him to produce great offensive numbers if he can stay there or at 2B defensively.

In general I like having toolsy athletes in our system. You just need lots of them to find the few that put it together. I like Gose a lot. However he cost $772K. Less than Collier and Hewitt but still a great deal. Cozens is an intriguing athlete and you could see him becoming an Adam Dunn type. But there is probably a 75%+ chance he is an expensive failure. I hope we hit the 25%. I just generally think we should have picked someone with a few more baseball skills at that point.

0-4 with 2 Ks. He butchered a play at 3B too. We need to trade him right now before his value drops. We should get Youklis for him.

Eliminated tonight. Get um

Green is on his way to Philly to sign

Ludy is heading to Lakewood

Listed heights and weights are often pure fiction.

I noticed last night old friend Zagurski is listed at 220, which I think was his weight in 9th grade.

3rd Rounder SS/3B Zach Green from Jesuit HS in CA officially signed today. Bonus is 420K (slot value was 374,400). We have 218,100 in pool savings we can spend without paying a penalty tax (plus about another 245K with a 75% penalty tax (but without forfeiting draft picks).

21st-rd pick Anderson is expected to sign today

Rash's deal won't get done until July 1 at the earliest because of Iowa high school rules

What rules? Iowa kids have signed as soon as they were drafted in the past. How could a state athletic association prevent a kid from quitting his hs team and signing a contract? I know some kids won't sign until after their season is over because they don't want to bail on their teammates.

me too. It's my favorite color.

Carmona and Anderson are officially signed. Carmona got $125K, so there's about $700K or so to spend on Rash (or any of the remaining lower guys)

Hopefully Rash will sign on the 1st. I believe that's the earliest he can sign.

We got Carmona?? Yes!
