2012 mlb draft

[example1]

One more pick to go and we can get McCullers. Gotta do this. Cmon Oppenheimer' date=' make the f***ing call![/quote']

 

No WAY Nolan Ryan wants a power arm.

[jacksonianmarch]

I can see the Yankees grabbing McCullers if Texas doesn't. They haven't had much luck with 100mph hurlers in the minors lately' date=' though. Betances has been a mess since they signed him and Brackman literally fell apart.[/quote']

 

Betances hasnt been a mess his whole time. This past yr he has been a mess. Brackman was a mental midget with an injury history

[example1]

The rule is about the top 10 rounds. The slot recommendations are pooled and if you go over it by 5%' date=' you are fined 100% on the overage. If you go over by 15%, you are fined 1st rounders[/quote']

 

What happens after the top 10 rounds?

[jacksonianmarch]

He's there! CMON CASH, MAKE THE f***ING CALL!!!

[evilhand]

Pretty much impossible' date=' right? I heard the other day that teams lose future draft picks for players they sign way over slot (something like x% over slot, first round pick, y% over slot, first and second round pick, etc.,) Anyone who knows the rules can correct me, but I'm pretty sure they designed the rules specifically to prevent late round, high priced signings.[/quote']

 

Ignore the source... this is a pretty good breakdown.

0-5% is a 75% tax, 5-10 is the tax and one pick next year. 10-15 is a 100% tax and two picks next year. Anything beyond 15% is 100% tax and next two first round picks.

 

Teams won't be going over slot.

I do not know

Hey Jackso. Watch the Yankees not take McCullers.

 

They'll take Smoral.

[jacksonianmarch]

I'd be fine with Smoral. I just dont want us to reach again for a guy like Culver

I see no reason to ignore Speier. He's one of the better baseball writers in Boston, IMO.

 

His minor league podcast is really quite good. he was the source of my original info, actually.

Anything over 100k in rounds 11-40 will count against the 1-10 bonus pool.

I meant the EEI in the address.

[jacksonianmarch]

Hensley is a good pick too.

[SoxFanForsyth]

See? I told you McCullers would be available.

[User Name]

They better take him!

[SoxFanForsyth]

They better take him!

 

I would be shocked if they didn't after the safe pick at 24.

[evilhand]

See? I told you McCullers would be available.

 

Good call. I really hope they take him here.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Also Zack Eflin could get picked up here.

[User Name]

Abraham expects McCullers to be the pick.

[example1]

Suddenly seems that there are a number of good choices for the Sox here. And they have a likely at least MLB middle infielder alread.

[User Name]

Yeah, the consensus is McCullers falling so far because of signability issues.

[mvp 78]

McAdam thinks Smoral.

[jacksonianmarch]

Brian Johnson, LHP, Florida for the sox

[example1]

First half of Papelbon is Brian Johnson

[SoxFanForsyth]

Cherrington is a huge pussy.

[TutGadol]

Who is this Marrero guy? Iglesias 2.0?

[mvp 78]

The singer from ACDC?

[jacksonianmarch]

Johnson sounds like a Jeremy Bleich type pitcher. Safe lefty draft. Looks like the Sox are going safe this yr

[User Name]

Surprised they went with a college arm.

[SoxFanForsyth]

I'm very disappointed right now. Very.

[Station 13]

:dunno: none of these guys are high ceilings.
