But if I’m thinking it, I’m probably not the only one.

Bravo

Because as I said, Diekroeger’s upside won’t be easy to find after the 1st round next season, and yeah, if you do find it, it’ll likely be another very tough sign. I don’t know how much Diekroeger wants to give up school, but if it’s 2 million or less, I say screw Washington and pony up.

But it sucks amazingly less if NONE of Boras’ clients sign. I’m wondering if the owners can collectively file some kind of grievance if that happens.

Either sign or play JuCo with a bum shoulder.

He calls his child Jesus
`cause he likes the name
And he sends him to the finest school in town

Kenneth Diekroeger Sr. said his son told the Rays today he will be going to Stanford, and it’s a final decision.

Diekroeger, the Rays second round pick, spent most of the summer debating it, and apparently it was more about his strong commitment to Stanford than not getting enough money from the Rays.

“It was a tough decision for him and he spent the better part of the summer debating it,” Kenneth Sr told the Times. “But in the end, he decided he wanted to go to school and defer any potential professional career. The Rays handled everything with the utmost class and made it a very difficult decision because we won’t know if he’ll have a chance to be part of such a first class organization again and that’s probably the hardest part about it.”

hmmmm

Sprewell tried to tell people that he couldn’t feed his family on 17M a year and now look. One of his houses got foreclosed on this year.

and then take Bryce Harper with the supplemental

cousin of toe?

who doesn’t let anything happen without his specific approval. Not as bad as Drew Rosenhaus, but similar.

“MacPhail was asked about Rhyne Hughes, the player the O’s got today as the player to be named later for Gregg Zaun.

AM – “We were able to finish that deal today and acquire a left-handed hitting first baseman that was with Tampa’s Triple-A club named Rhyne Hughes. He went to the Fall League last fall and was at Double-A and Triple-A this year. Between the two he’s hitting about .285 with 22 home runs and 72 RBI and 30 doubles. He’s kind of a late bloomer. We had two scouts see him recently and we think he has a chance to be a productive player.”

He wanted a huge increase over the record amount on Strasburg. Washington just offered barely over the record amount.

Greedy bastard.

I made the Dice-K to Strasburg comp. on another site, and some idiots are reaming it. I know that SS’s comp. wasn’t as good, but the difference (IMO) is probably not that great.

If we get him for slot I will not be upset, but he doesn’t deserve one dollar more.

I’m arguing that LeVon isn’t horse crap either. He was definitely a top 40 pick.

But the only negative thing I’ve heard so far is that his footwork needs to be improved.
