<s> Cheese and Rice!!!! Would it kill them to draft one freaking highschool short stop. All they ever do is draft outfielders and pitchers <s>

There's obviously way more to this than just one stat for one year, but has to have the lowest draft year batting average for any non-power conference draftee in a long time. Right. more to him than slot savings and the poor last season. 25% college k rate doesn't scream good either, then saw 1 writeup where he was elite in CF. Team wouldn't have taken him just to save $$. Had to be something to this guy they saw.

Doesn't really matter how good your slot mid rounder is, what matters is how likely they are to make massive improvements and be a huge outlier. Turner has a plausible enough story to have a chance

Even when Turner was great in 2023, his 90th EV was only 101.8, and this year it was 101. Very, very low numbers. Maybe Sal Frelick-ish if he gets right.

Level of competition matters. Just drafted 7/225 by Texas. A few Bucknell guys already drafted. Patriot League Alumnus here, so I keep my eyes open.

I really really have no sense how money is going this year. Highest bonuses I could find after Rnd 10 last year were in the $500k range. If we save a little in first 10, we could do 2 of those I guess?

Seems like good value with Cason. I'm wondering about signability tho?
