I think i've read on BA

or maybe heard on a podcast, that this years college talent isn’t deep at all. That should help take some of the sting out of this ranking…

can someone just please agree with me that we should've drafted Wil Myers?

I'm not okay our scouting staff missing out on our first two picks.

Tools Whore

Why couldn't we have both?

Since so many catching prospects flame out anyway, might as well stock up

And Friedman has said that we have to build through the draft.

Not signing our first two picks is unacceptable. And not willing to budge off slot when drafting a Boras client is just stupid.

Exactly

Worst mistake the current FO has made.

I don't know where you got the impression that I was okay with not signing the first or second picks.

I don’t believe “I’m fine with Bailey” or “He wanted and got legit money” implies such.

so?

we aren’t talking 9 million for Ackley here.

we aren’t talking 5 million, or 4,

2 mil.

this sucks

Next season

I thought if they did not sign a 1st or 2nd rounder then they get that same pick the next season? Now they will have 4 picks in the 1st 2 rounds next season.

Yes, they'll get compensation picks for both guys.

Yes but I can just about guarantee the players taken with the comp picks

won’t be as good(/have as high a ceiling) as Washington/Diekroeger. Not to mention what having to spend money on two extra picks will do to our willingness to select over-slot guys with the regular picks we have.
