Is it normal for so many picks after 30 not to sign?

Fred Biletnikoff! King of Stick. Lol. The refs hated him because every time he touched the ball it got the gook all over it and then the refs got it all over themselves. Lol And I agree that it should be allowed in a modest way in MLB. Just because you say it, doesn't make it so. What year was it before they started checking Pitchers after every half inning for sticky substances? There was a year where it was pretty clear that pitchers were using something... tacki-goo? I forget what year that was. Were arm injuries up that year? It might sway me a little if they were, but otherwise I don't think the the firmness of the grip is indicative of the spin. The firmness of the grip is the control of the ball itself. A harder grip would diminish spin. Think of it as "english" in tennis. The racquet glances the ball, but its the speed of the racquet that determines the spin. -

We could be the Astros who have won 2 WS appeared in another. And been to what FIVE consecutive ALCS? With the extreme approach that we took to amass this kind of talent, I would rather set the bar high. We didn’t need to undergo the misery of extreme tanking just to have a team that could qualify for the playoffs each year. The Brewers and Guardians have that and they didn’t employ the extreme tank tactics. What we did forced MLB to change the rules to prevent it from being done again. -

Agree. It’s almost universal amongst all sports that size is valued when evaluating amateurs for projection. -

Burnes, Westburg, Ohearn, Grayson, Kimbrel, Santander. In that order. -

I don’t think it’s a big deal about the report that the Orioles made a call about Crochet. That’s just Elias doing his job and professional due diligence. I’m sure he has and is making a lot of “calls”. I also don’t see teams like KC or SEA trading their best pitchers for players like Mountcastle, Urias, Hays, etc. That is a net negative for those teams. They are actually trying to win too and have very smart people running their orgs. The chances of us shedding spare parts for prime time pieces are very very slim. It is not likely that we are going to swindle anyone. It’s more likely to be a value for value exchange. -
My preference is to be good for 10 years. The best teams rarely wins. Let’s be consistent like the Ravens in 2007-2012 and win one. Or the Braves. Make a move for a great reliever, sure, but that shouldn’t cost the elite talent. -
Son of a gun. I was just going to find Frobby’s double digit strikeout thread and post this. 😀
