I like him but does anyone know what his service commitment is?

It used to be five years from completion of each midshipman's course of study. There are instances of this being waived. I guess it depends on who's talking for you and who he/she knows in Congress and how quickly you can pay off the (rather sizable) debt the Government incurs in educating you.

The services have no long-term interest in officers who would rather be elsewhere doing something else, even if they don't advertise the fact.

They let that kid that got drafted by the Lions out of his commitment. I would imagine they have a similar agreement with MLB as they have with the NFL.

Lots of signability/Boras/college commitments on Greg's list.

Some high quality HS arms, IMO.

The Oropesa kid looks interesting.

I'm sure we are calling a majority of these kids to see if they will sign.

One can only hope. We can rebuild with Petey's money regarding the signability guys. I did want Melville, but what can you do.

      I don’t think this matters. I think you get value where you can. The Rays have been willing trade partners in the past when it was clear they weren’t contending. Right now they are 4 games out of the last slot but have like 5 teams above them. Can they get it? Sure but it’s not that likely and in the past they’ve been realistic in their down type seasons.

      I think Norby is going to be a very good MLB offensive player. I’m ok trading him but not for 1/2 season rental types.

      6-man rotation is officially happening

      Yeah I think they need to staggar the lefties in the rotation order. R-R-L-R-L like that.

      Trading Mayo Kjerstad and Povich for one guy to become a relief pitcher is nuts.

      We don't need starting pitchers. We need Relief Pitchers. We don't need average Relief Pitchers, we need consistent high leverage/high K Relief Pitchers.

      Os claim Levi Stoudt

      If you feel comfortable putting Aiken and Baker (or even Tate) in during an elimination series, that's your prerogative. But I do not. Too inconsistent, which is the same reason why Mike Baumann pitched himself off the active roster. when spot was needed for returning starters off the IL. Currently Coulombe is on IL so we can't even count on one of our best. Cano has regressed from last season. We've also witnessed last season how Webb broke down from over use and was ineffective in the playoff series against Texas. Perez goes in streaks of either really good or concernedly bad (he loses his command). Akin's problem is he leaves the ball over the heart of the plate and he doesn't have good enough stuff to get away with it. They're meatballs. We might get some good times from Baker now that he's up, but I would only expect a month or 2 at best from him before he returns to old habits. And Suarez is a starter who wants to be a starter. Who knows if he will go back to the bullpen? He'll have to go deeper into games if he wants to stay in the rotation, otherwise, I think he should be in the bullpen. But that's not what he is right now in this moment. He's a starter with a ERA in the 1s.
