2016 7th Round Pick - Preston Palmeiro - 1B - North Carolina State

[weams]

Is this the kid that was on the field with him for 3000 or was that an older brother?

I stand corrected. It appears to be.

Dad is still a huge Palmerio fan, so he's excited about this pick just because this could potentially bring Raffy back to Baltimore, and the fact that if he mashes even remotely like his dad; he'll be successful.

If the swing and batting eye are identical, forget power -- this would be a steal in round seven.

I think it will be a steal. He's 20 or 21, so I think he still has time to fill-out his frame. He could add 10lbs of muscle and start mashing. I'm hesitant to say easily, well, because it ain't easy doing either of those. I agree with you, if his swing and batting eye are identical, he is going to be fun to watch.

What I'm interested in is what his glove and footwork at 1B is. Does he have the same instincts with the glove that pops had? Raffy was all around great.

Please help TINSTAPP and ARTVANDELAY with the threads for today. They offered there kind assistance, but may need MOD skills for merging, moving, etc. Thanks. /Request

Raffy's early career problem was that he didn't have any power either. He was a LFer IIRC.

Buck said its make him feel old, he remembers the kid being a little kid in the clubhouse a few years ago.

Raffy made it sound like Preston definitely wants to sign in this interview. Any word?

None. Raffy lost all his money, So I am sure his son wants to be self sufficient.

He probably needs to go back to State then 'cause +-$200K probably won't do it.

Well it's better thank the 10k senior signing bonus he could be looking at next year. He's already 21.5 years old. We don't know the details on the other guys in the top 10 signing. The offer might be less than slot for him.

Well I guess he needs to do his due diligence and become the next Joey Baseball then...:clap3:

He's got his dad's swing. I've liked the videos that I've seen.

Any word if they're gonna sign him?
