On his podcast today @jimcallisMLB breaks down the Fabian stuff. Sounds like O's were giving him $3M at pick 41, Sox took him at pick 40 and once Hickey is signed they may only have $2.1M for Jud. A risk, but get the pick back next year.
What does Jud think he could reasonably get next year in the draft? Does he think he'll go top 10-15? If he's still hanging around at 25, he would get about the same $$$ that the Sox may offer. Seems like a risky strategy that could backfire. Another year with a 35% k rate could scare even more teams away.
Ken Davidoff of the New York Post reports that the Mets' agreement with 10th overall pick Kumar Rocker is in limbo due to concerns about his pitching elbow.
Uh oh. The Mets had an agreement in place for $6 million prior to the physical and apparently something popped up during the exam.

Miguel Bleis went 1-for-2 with a stolen base in his debut with the DSL Red Sox Red before being lifted for a pinch runner. The 17-year-old Bleis signed for $1,500,000 as an International free agent in January, and is currently 35th on the #SP60.
