Kazmir v. Gallardo

[weams]

Dan signed Ubaldo 4/50 and gave up the 17th overall pick, so I don't think its out of the question to think he would do it again.

I don't want to see it happen but realistically it might.

You sure it was not the 22th pick?

Because Jimenez turned down a qualifying offer, the Orioles will part with their first-round choice (17th overall) in the upcoming 2014 amateur draft

He turned down a $14.1 million qualifying offer from the Indians, so Baltimore would have to forfeit its first-round draft pick (17th overall) to sign him.

Thank you. It felt like we did so much better than that in 2012.

Well, other teams below us may have lost draft picks too, pushing us down to 17.

17th pick turned out to be Brandon Finnegan, 22, who made it to Royals BP that same year of being drafted, had an excellent 2015 for them and then traded to the Reds in the Cueto deal. We have Ubaldo.

So we got the better end of the deal. Huh.

Looks like the kid was rushed to the majors. Not good totals in AA or AAA but he was promoted anyway.

Why anyone would do that, I don't know

Finnegan was drafted as a quick to the majors lefty arm.

I would take Gallardo, but I'd wait to see what happens with Cespedes, Davis, Chen and Gordon first.

Finnegan was drafted as a quick to the majors lefty arm.

"It's obviously very unpredictable knowing who's going to get to you at No. 17, but we're really pleased," said general manager Dayton Moore. "We wanted to target some advanced college pitching, and we were fortunate that Finnegan was there. We scouted him all last summer, had a chance to see him quite a bit this season, and we think that he's going to be a quality starting pitcher in the Major Leagues for many years."

You can ask Dan and Buck why they did it to Gausman.

I would love to. But some people in the organization are more talented than others, and I think Gausman has really grown into a solid pitcher.

College arm. Playoff contender. Need.
