Yeah, I know Fulmer has huge prospect pedigree, but in terms of actual results, he's had very little since Vandy. It looks like Chicago really rushed him to the upper minors, where he's been pretty bad. All that said, I wouldn't hate having him in Pawtucket throwing sim innings, working on ironing out his mechanics in the reliever only profile. Add: Worth noting that Boston drafted him out of high school. Probably doesn't mean much since he didn't sign, and that it was a few front office regimes ago, but it might give them a slight inside track to bringing him in.

First inning.Benintendi strikes out, Jd walks, Devers singles to right,Bogaerts singles to center, Mitch blasts a homer and Vaz k's....Sounds like 2 outs to me. is their some new special rule I don't know about? They said on the broadcast that they ended the inning because of Pearson's pitch count. Must have been a limit set at 25 or so pitches in an inning for the exhibition.

Would the old Ballpark in Arlington be an option? Wikipedia says: I would think it could be unretrofitted easily enough. Now granted, they'd have to yield use of the 50,000 seat stadium to Major League Rugby, the behemoth of the American sporting scene, but apparently MLR has suspended play until 2021. Well since the AL East teams will only play other AL East teams and NL East teams I think they would prefer a location on the east coast. As cool as the Omaha idea is, it doesn't really work for this same reason.

A quick look at the "Staff Twitter Feed" section of the homepage would suggest it's about 50/50. Twitter is not a baseball website.

Would think Universal DH and expanded rosters would make it easier for Ockimey to carve out a career for himself.

I do wonder what kind of fields he played on, because the power numbers didn't exactly disappear. No homers, but 11 XBHs in 13 games.

Those are postseason all games. They are not applicable to the topic at hand.

Yeah. Just came to report the same thing. Looks like Hoffman got Garcia's scouting report and for some reason Garcia's page has the scouting report of Antony Alvarado, who apparently pitched 2 innings in the DSL a decade ago.

Again, the players have already given up about half of their salaries. That's the part of this that people seem to be missing. They're not doing a great job negotiating, I don't think, but that's different than their being unreasonable. By that logic, the owners have already given up about half of their profits, and from your prior posts, that seems to be an even larger value than the salaries. Again, further to this point, if you believe that the virus is killing baseball not just this year but in the future, then by the same Boswell logic of exponential growth in franchise values, we should expect to see exponential loss of franchise values. Those would dwarf the player losses. In the end, unless I am missing something, the players have not budged off the 100% of pro rata, which pushes the owners to minimize that total by reducing the number of games. I suspect that if the players had agreed to 80%, we'd have more games. But the lack of flexibility in addressing a problem leads us here. And about half of their expenses...

It seems simple to determine what the net revenue loss of having sero attendance would be. The players get prorated salaries less 50% of the projected revenue from having fans in the seats for the number of games played prorated among all players based on salary. To give the players a full prorated salary when the teams will be losing over a million dollars per game in lost live fan revenue seems pretty one sided. The players should at least share in this loss of revenue.Why?

Vermont literally just detailed how this probably isn't true with Mitchell or PCA, it is DEFINITELY not true with Bitsko. So Jordan won’t sign for 2 million? Seems unlikely If you sign a guy at or above slot at 17, you don't have 2 mill left...

If there is one thing to take from this draft, its that Bloom's got some sneaky style with the Red Sox sweater there.

Wu-Yelland should be another under slot guy, right? Do they just throw all the money they have left at a signability guy and if he says no they only lose 300K of the bonus pool?
After that, all that's left to see is how the UDFA plays out.

I'll go on record as saying this is actually a great move if they can get 4 major leaguers out of this draft

I agree the PA is prioritizing not getting screwed over actually negotiating. I think they realize that their leadership has failed them in recent years and they are so afraid to concede anything to the owners.
