I agree.  What is Callis talking about? lol

I think he means he will only be getting the normal underslot players picked at 1-1 get.

Boras is his agent.

I think it’s possible this kid was the BpA on their board.  I don’t think they could have taken anyone else to make me think that.

 

btw, Vegas was way off on this pick.

Seager is the comp I like for this kid.

I thought Seager was the comp for Gunnar.  Two is better than one.  This kid doesn't have the size of Seager or Henderson.

Well, then I think we can bury the idea they picked him to save money.

Holliday isn’t going to get overshot, but he’s not really an underslot guy. I like the pick, SS is more value then cf 

He will get less than 8.8M.  I bet somewhere in the 7.8-8.5 range.

It will be interesting to see what if anything he signs for.

You think he might not sign?

I love this. It staggers the ML debuts for Westburg/Gunnar and Holliday by 3-4 years so they aren't stumbling all over each other on the depth chart. 

He shouldn't be four years after Westburg/Gunnar.  If he is, something went wrong.

Love it! He was my first choice.

Was cool with him or Jones. Anything else I would’ve been disappointed.

That would make sense.  I read it as he thinks he’s getting full slot.

I knew I should’ve put money on Holliday at +1100.

Boras isn't a warlock.

The kid looks like he wants to play, he'll sign for something a bit under slot.

One of the meatheads on MLB Network was dropping Seager's name when talking about Holliday. Might have been O'Dowd, who may be SLIGHTLY biased given his relationship w/ daddy back in the day.

He won't be spending any of the #1 pick money  on razors.
