From that pic I thought we drafted Kirk Rueter's son.

Right. That's what I'm saying. The Phils agreed to an overslot bonus for Randolph last night and have spent today overdrafting to pay for it.


Was there even any talk of Randolph needing an overslot bonus before the draft? If we were going overslot, wouldn't Cameron or Betts be a better target?

I am thinking he grows another 2 or 3 inces. 6'6" - 6'7" is pretty slight at 200. He would be far from husky at those weights. He will fill out, and he needs some weight/muscle to endure the season.

Chris Sale is 6'6" 180lbs. Let's stop fretting over how an 18-year-old is going to grow or not.

MLB.com didn't have any video for Gilbert, so he can't be good

Cameron's demands were apparently enough to drop him from top-10 to #37. It's hard to know what's going on, but when every single team passes on the kid in the first round, I think we can be fairly confident in that decision.

I mean, you have a MLB player's kid. It's not as if money is a real issue for him. Cameron was far from a star, but B-R has him as making $76MM in his career. If the kid wants to go to college (and hang out with Clemson coeds), it was going to take a LOT of money to persuade him otherwise.

Even if you get run over by a clown car and pissed on by a busload of school children, it's still your responsibility to interpret the meaning of the event and choose a response

Fair until proven otherwise, but there was a marked shift last year, followed by a new scouting director

at the end of the day i think this is mostly useless.


When you get to this point in the draft and start wondering why certain players are not on the Top 500, you're doing it wrong.


I disagree especially when one of these guys is a 3rd round pick. It will be the first time when the Phillies go off the industry consensus board for a player that works out. They definitely look to be saving money with these picks. A Cole Sands type high school pitcher will make this feel a lot better. I'm not getting my hopes up though.

Yeah for sure.
