I was surprised when they paid him over slot. I think that was a mistake by the Tigers. I would have told him to pound sand and collected an extra 1-1 next season before I did that for a 1B.
I think it's a sign of a weak draft at the top when a R/R 1B goes 1-1.
Funny how often scouts get the plus bat tool wrong, even with college guys.
I did think he'd walk more than he has.
I've heard of senior signs before but he was a grad student sign.
He's 25 in the bullpen in the SALL league.
Would be a great story if he turns into anything.
I think our collective attention span is even shorter and we are even more jaded as a society. If anything I think it would be easier to recover from.
Except of course Baseball is held to a weirdly higher standard and that might come into play.
