Why wouldn't a bunch of teams be interested in Teixeira is my point, I guess... moreso than believing what Boras is spouting.
The teams that need Tex are the Angels, the O's, the MFY's, the Giants, the Gnats, and maybe the Bosux. I can't think of anyone else that would need a 1B, enough to pay a minimum of 6/$120 mm.

By the time those players are eligible for arbitration, shouldn't we be good enough to spend more on payroll anyway? The idea behind Teix is for us to contend quicker, putting butts in the seats, and ultimately raising the payroll.

That would also be true.

More time for MASN for kick in...More fans in the stands, etc...

I don't doubt that there are a lot of teams lining up for Tex, the part I don't believe is that Boras, or any agent for that matter, would eliminate teams from the running. The more competition there is for your product, the quicker and higher the price rises.

      1:2 is good.  Elite is a player like Arraez who is 1+:1.

      Was reading Wiggins write up on ESPN. He appears to be more of a home run threat than Koolaid. He had a pick 6 each of the last 2 years.

      Starting point has changed.  Given the fact he has approx 1/7th of his season in the books at 1.139, to OPS just .780 for the season, he'd have to drop off to under .730 the rest of the way.  That sort of drop off wouldn't be acceptable to me. I'd like him to OPS .800 the rest of the way for roughly .850 for the season.  The more they use him in a platoon role, the better I think that number might be.

      Can I ask how you timed it vs the DVR?  Did you use a stopwatch or count click with pause/FF, or something else?

      Who is "selling" this year?

      I can’t fathom why anyone would want a Tanner Scott return. In 10 innings, he is 0-4 with a 1.78 whip. He was maddening before, and now he’s older. But I wonder if the Red Sox would part with Justin Slaten? He’s been pretty outstanding. Yeah, only 8 innings, but we hired Yohan Ramirez, and he’s been a catastrophe in 10. Yes, I know he’s a rule 5, and the Bosox are in the East. And their pitching is pretty thin, too. But they know they aren’t going anywhere in this division, and they might think getting a good return for a Free Rule 5 guy might be worthwhile.

      This draft unfolded weirdly.  First with the *nix guys getting taken early and then how no defensive players got taken all draft, and then a bunch of teams reaching for OTs.  I'm pretty happy with how the draft unfolded because I think we got a player that I expected to be gone by the teens or early 20s.  I don't know what we're doing with our OL but hopefully we can maybe trade up from 62 to pick someone up.
