The Astros not signing Aiken probably got them a World Series. It worked out so well for them that I honestly can't blame the Mets if a similar concern is there.

Julio Cruz posted:there were injury rumors around him which is why he fell to #10, and I guess the Mets didn't do their own evaluation of him before the draft and instead went on reports from his personal doctor and/or the physio(s) at Vanderbilt "Why didn't you ask Beltran anything about his time in Houston before you hired him as manager?"

If you’re smarter than those fans, though, good on you.

Cubs and Nats just played a game that ended 6-5 Nats where 30 year old career minor league journeyman Rafael Ortega hit three HR's for the Cubs, and 33 year old career minor league journeyman Yadiel Hernandez hit three HR's for the Nats. Together they combined for eight of the game's fifteen hits, and eight of the game's eleven RBI's. And who said this series would be dull?

Welp, Dipoto sank the season with that Graveman trade. 20 years, guess we'll wait another. And as usual in a Seattle August, disappointed eyes start turning towards football.

It really is hosed that Rocker now can't sign with just any team he wants and has to wait a whole year to start his pro career when he could pitch in the minors right now.

Intruder posted:It also happened with the Astros and Brady Aiken in what was the first thing that made people mad at them. They had agreements in place with Aiken below slot and two late picks above slot but found something in his UCL so lowered their offer to the minimum required to get a pick the following draft and pulled their offers from the other two. All three had agents by this time so their NCAA eligibility was blown Teams take guys that need or have had TJS all the time, like the aforementioned Buhler but Aiken was a different story. He had some sort of issue where his elbow (IIRC, his elbow ligaments are abnormally short) made it unlikely that TJS would be successful. The Astros totally hosed over the two over slot guys they had deals with - don’t sign the pick, don’t get the pool money, but Aiken was at least offered a deal. How much of that was the fact they had to in order to get the comp pick at the time we’ll never know. Allegedly Rocker wasn’t even offered a deal so it’s far more likely it’s something congenital vs an injury. I wonder how much poo poo Cohen is going to get for this though: https://twitter.com/jjcoop36/status/1421966205368377347?s=21

I greatly appreciate Baez, Rizzo and Bryant immediately contributing to their new teams and endearing themselves with those fanbases. It's the perfect way to traumatize Cubs fans that much more.

FlamingLiberal posted:They get the 11th pick next year Yup, in order to get the guaranteed offer you have to participate in MLB's MRI/Medical sharing program. This was the reaction to the Aiken affair, but most big names opt out like Rocker.

Why would they opt out? Seems like a lock to get something and not get screwed another year.

But yeah, this is just one defender falling apart where a bunch of people had to freze to make the Astros thing possible.

There isn't a professional, college, or even higher level HS pitcher alive without some form of "damage" in their arm right now at this very second. Even on the MLB side weren't the Orioles famous for a time for using "bad medicals" as an excuse to get out of deals that were either poo poo on in the media, or that Angelos vetoed?

Yeah, the ridiculous bit is that this isn't even "Mets offered [x] signing bonus and Rocker told them to take a hike", this is "Mets drafted him then decided they didn't actually want him, so Rocker is just hosed and has no recourse to enter MLB until the next draft." What a loving shitshow.
