One of my current school's recruits was taken in the second round by the Mets. - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 17, 06:00 2
- The kid from my high school drafted 6th round hasn't even gotten a contract offer from the BoSox. - Will Hunting Aug 17, 06:10
- (The last drafted recruit they had was Joey Votto.) -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 17, 06:01
He'll sign. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 17, 04:41 13
- I think he wants to sign, but his agent won't agree to the $17-20M deal. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 17, 05:00 12
  - I can only hope he rejects any offer, goes back to school and tears up his elbow. - groiny Aug 17, 09:02
  - Luckily, it's not really up to his agent. Or, it shouldn't be, unless Strasburg is a tiny scared ladychild who can't say "I want my $20M right now." -- nm - TFox Aug 17, 05:37
  - It's a game of chicken. Someone will cave. -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 17, 05:17 1
    - I think the Nats already have. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 17, 05:24
  - The idea that a young baseball player hasn't proven himself yet would be worth that much is rather disgusting. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 17, 05:12
  - Michael Crabtree thinks he is a wuss if he signs -- nm - Beaker Aug 17, 05:00 6
    - I wonder what Aaron Crow thinks. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 17, 05:04 5
      - From Aaron Crow's negotiating history, Aaron Crow doesn't think. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 17, 05:26 2
        
        Then he should at least have a fallback option as a TNA booker. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 17, 05:49 1
        
        I cannot believe they let him keep the strap. From a logic standpoint, he's accused of stalking another employee and they somehow reward him? - Will Hunting Aug 17, 05:52
      - the line of players who held out and renetered is a long and poor one from what I have read. Worst move he could possibly do if he does it -- nm - Beaker Aug 17, 05:05 1
        
        It did work out for Hochevar. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 17, 05:19
