Buehler needs Tommy John, yikes I mean I'm going off just reports as most of us are and what not but hard to not be a bit bummed about the draft. Didn't sign one of the top 2 picks and now the first needs tommy john Hopefully some of the guys they went over slot on, like Abdullah, are promising. And hey, at least they went ape shit internationally. Just, hard to not feel bummed but still plenty of time to see if the scouts made some underrated picks
Dodgers did use the money saved to sign Logan a Crouse who I've read a tiny bit about and seems like a great value pick. I believe he's like 6'6" with some solid upside and no one thought he'd sign. Hey, it's not all bad!
This didn't turn out good, but the silver lining is we do get an extra draft pick next year in a year we're locked out of the International Signing Market.
Tbh they need to implement some physical combine like the nfl where teams can get a full report on a players health.
Players would need to be compensated someway to offset this and I would want them to implement a higher cap and some sort of penalty for not using a certain amount of your cap (like the fuckbag DBacks did)
Law said that pretty much everyone is against not knowing the medicals of these players and that it would most likely be settled in the new CBA.
Excuse my ignorance but why not sign Funkhouser with Walker Buehler's Money and let Buehler go unsigned?
Something to do with slot money and shit I'm assuming. It doesn't really matter though; he was looking for 5 or 6 million.
Yeah you're right. Definitely more like Orel. Holy shit imagine if he's anywhere near as good as Orel was but the guy can touch 96 which Orel never did.
