Despite our frustration w JD and last season, the Round 4 results this year, Gage's comments weeks ago, Walter's draft round last year, Palm's transition from reliever to starter, etc. are the glass half full argument (at least with respect to pitchers).
What were Gage's comments a few weeks ago? I missed it
“You take a chance and bet on yourself to go to college and develop,” Ziehl said. “I think I’ve done that. I can’t thank the coaches and the resources I’ve had here at Miami. I’ve had an unbelievable experience at Miami, and I wouldn’t change it for anything.”
Some guys are just destined to be big leaguers regardless where they go to school, Yohandy being a good example. Developing guys with little to no draft stock into elite caliber players is what separates the top tier schools
Is it too late to flip the MDC SS commit to us?
There was the rumor regarding feelings on this staff as well, true or not I do not know…
If you aren't happy move on, don't ***** and moan about it. You could have jumped in the portal, or now you can sign.
Yup, not arguing that, just agree with Philly’s assessment that there’s meat left on the bone to parlay into more draft dollars but if he did feel that way it’s tough to believe he wouldn’t sign.
Wow - can't even keep the undrafted guys. This isn't starting well 3 days after the draft ended.
I can understand it as an older guy with a lengthy injury history, but it’s certainly a big loss
The bigger issue may be a hope of getting another spin at the draft next year
I was speaking about this earlier. You aren't safe just because your guys get through the draft. You can still sign players for the same $150K or even more if you have the overage left to take from your pool + 5%.
